Need suggestions of where to go for MLK weekend, Jan 14-16, with my 14 year old son plus wife and 11 year old son.

Goals
* Ride time for me and the 14 year old
* Rent a two up for at least one day so we can all go
* Decent hotel with a pool preferred

14 year old has trail riding experience but mostly on low traffic trails around our northern MN lake place or Houghton Lake, MI. Last week was a bust in MN so he hasn't ridden since last year.
Prefer to not take him to high speed high traffic trail areas.

We've stayed at a hotel in Houghton Lake a couple of previous years that has a small indoor water park that worked out well but looking for a change.

We live in Cincinnati so travel time is a consideration. We've got a long drive no matter what, but if snow conditions allow prefer not to go as far as the Keweenaw if I don't have to!

TIA

It's pricey, and you'll have to trailer to the trailhead, and it does have a few sled rental places in the area, but you can't beat the pools at Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City. If the snow is there, the traffic is usually a lot lighter than other parts of the lower. I've taken my family there every last weekend in February for the last four years. Prices range from $180-$500/night, but you get a REAL indoor water park experience.
