Beyond The Resort
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
One of America's most breathtaking landscapes is right at your doorstep. Hike the dunes, explore ancient forests, and discover miles of pristine Lake Michigan shoreline — a true northern Michigan treasure.
Downtown Traverse City
Stroll the streets of one of Michigan's most vibrant small cities. From award-winning restaurants and boutique shops to local breweries and the beloved farmers market, downtown TC is worth an afternoon — or an evening.
Old Mission Peninsula Wineries
Jutting into Grand Traverse Bay, Old Mission Peninsula is Michigan wine country at its most scenic. Tour family-owned wineries, sample award-winning cool-climate varietals, and take in panoramic bay views along the way.
TART Trails
Traverse City's paved trail network winds through forests, along the bay, and into town — perfect for cycling, walking, or just exploring at your own pace. Bikes are available nearby if you didn't bring your own.
Leelanau Peninsula Wineries
Follow the wine trail through cherry orchards and rolling vineyard views on the Leelanau Peninsula. With dozens of tasting rooms to explore, it's an easy, scenic drive that pairs beautifully with a slow afternoon.
