Dune Climb Inn
Overnight stay. Used their loaner bikes for a 10 mile morning ride. The bikes need servicing overall, but I’m not complaining. No complaints and I’d stay there again.

Kasa 539 Bay Street Traverse City
I loved everything here. It was beautiful. I just wish we would have been notified that the fire pit was closed prior to our stay. It would have saved me $80 in fire wood that I paid for and the service guy took our wood and I guess threw it away.
