Welcome Up North

Traverse City is one of those places that’s easy to love and hard to leave — turquoise water on three sides, wine country on the peninsulas, and a walkable downtown full of good food and local beer. Known as the Cherry Capital of the World and a recent Good Housekeeping pick for best beach escapes, it’s a true four-season town. Our home puts you right in the middle of it, with a comfortable place to come back to at the end of the day.

What Traverse City Has to Offer

On the Water

Grand Traverse Bay is right there — sugar-sand beaches, clear water for swimming and paddleboarding, and boat tours along the shoreline. East Bay Beach is a half-mile from the front door.

Wine Country

More than 50 wineries dot the Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas, known for crisp, cool-climate whites. Spend an afternoon tasting your way along the M-37 drive through orchards and vineyards.

Downtown Traverse City

Front Street is full of local shops, restaurants, craft breweries, and Michigan’s oldest distillery. Don’t leave without a slice of cherry pie — it’s a local institution.

The Great Outdoors

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, named the most beautiful place in America, is about 40 minutes away. Closer in, the TART trails are great for biking and walking right through town.

Beautiful in Every Season

Summer is for the water and the National Cherry Festival each July. Fall brings color tours along M-22. Winter means skiing, snowshoeing, and cozy taprooms downtown. Spring is quiet, with cherry blossoms and easygoing wine tastings before the crowds arrive.
