One can actually fly into Marquette or Houghton, but it can get expensive.

Finding lodging for everyone could be a problem, too! Would have to make reservations well in advance.

Our closest airport would be Burlington...but it's pricey (sometimes twice what it costs to travel to/from Manchester, NH), still two hours away (not seven or eight, though!) and is one of those "can't get there from here" places - we have no east/west interstates in this part of the state - only north/south. Makes things interesting sometimes! Lots of driving on twisty state routes.
