Without diving deep on numbers, places like Wisconsin Dells and surrounding areas, Munising, MI for Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, anything near Mackinaw Island - Cheboygan and Saint Ignace, lake towns near Boyne/Boyne Mountain to get some summer and winter traffic, maybe something near Arcadia Bluffs that sleeps 10-12 to host larger groups coming on a golf trip.
