About Traverse City
A Guide to Staying in Traverse City
Traverse City is the unofficial capital of Up North Michigan, set where Grand Traverse Bay reaches deep into the Lower Peninsula. It is the obvious base for a Northern Michigan cabin trip — close to Lake Michigan beaches, the wineries of Old Mission and Leelanau, and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. (Placeholder copy — full editorial to be written.)
Cabin rentals around Traverse City range from cozy log cabins in the woods to lakefront cottages and larger vacation homes for groups. Summer is peak season for the bay and the beaches; fall brings color tours and the cherry-country harvest; winter adds skiing and snowmobiling nearby.
