I wanted to share the TOP 5 AMAZING things about Historic Banning Mills, but I’m really struggling to narrow it down because there’s SO much to LOVE! But, here I go…

1. A Variety of FUN ACTIVITIES!
There’s SO much to do at Historic Banning Mills! If you’re a thrill-seeker, you’ve GOT to go ZIP-LINING! If you love the water, spend a peaceful day KAYAKING. Did I mention all the hikes and bridges?!?

This year, the girls and I went HORSEBACK RIDING and drove all around on the SWINCARS. Not only were both activities so enjoyable, the scenery was simply beautiful!

2. GORGEOUS PROPERTY!
I could spend days and days simply exploring. There are lakes, waterfalls, beautiful trees, historical areas, bridges and bubbling streams all over. To me, nothing is much more therapeutic than enjoying nature.

3. DELICIOUS FOOD!
If I lived closer, I would certainly be dropping in frequently just to enjoy their amazing menu! Not only is it plated beautifully, but it is so fresh and flavorful. We were able to enjoy a wonderful dinner, as well as a really fun brunch!

4. ACCOMMODATIONS!
I’ve been fortunate to stay at their treehouse and cabin! Both were fantastic and exceeded my expectations. This year, they are offering a cabin in the woods with the most BEAUTIFUL view you could imagine! The big porch overlooks a stream below. It was SO peaceful! Inside, there’s everything you need to unplug and relax.

5. I only have ONE left?!?! Okay, it’s GOT to be the PEOPLE!
The entire staff at Historic Banning Mills is so kind, friendly and helpful. The entire process is so professional and efficient. There’s warm smiles all over the property. (Even the resident cats are patient and sweet when Ruthie and I scoop them up into our arms!)
Another thing that I love is how the staff take PHOTOS of your during the activities. (This is GREAT for moms who are RARELY in photos, right??!) You’ll receive a link with all your complimentary photos that you can download.

Since I’ve technically reached my limit, I’ll go ahead and add (under “PEOPLE”), really, the BEST thing about Historical Banning…

It’s a place that allows you to press pause on all life’s obligations and problems and CONNECT FULLY with the people who are most IMPORTANT in your life!

That’s what this trip was for me, at least! I enjoyed every second of hiking, exploring, trying new activities, eating delicious food, watching ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ DVD and making new memories with my girls!
