Michigan side of Lake Michigan STR

[Clayton Plummer]

I grew up in Battle Creek. We use to go vacation in Holland, Saugatuck , Grand Haven, South Haven, etc. I've been out of state for a long time now. Where are the good STR locations on or adjacent to Lake Michigan? (Are there any bad spots along Lake Michigan?)

Also, is the Traverse City area still the Lower Peninsula ski destination?  Boyne, Crystal Mountain, Nubs Nob, etc.

Thanks in advance, Clayton.
