Accommodations & Things To Do
Our wedding venue is located on the beautiful Leelanau Peninsula, about 30 minutes north of Traverse City. Here, you'll find stunning beaches, charming lakeside towns, wineries, and scenic trails just a short drive away. One of the area's most popular attractions, Sleeping Bear Dunes, is only 30 minutes from the venue and offers breathtaking views (along with a bit of a workout!).
If you'd like to stay on the peninsula, we recommend the Whaleback Inn, located just south of Leland and only 10 minutes from Aurora Cellars. Additional accommodations are available in Leland and Suttons Bay. As September is a popular travel season, we encourage booking your stay early.
For additional lodging, consider Airbnb or VRBO.
Traverse City also offers a variety of hotels, restaurants, shops, and beautiful waterfront areas to enjoy. It is about a 30-minute drive to our venue, and we've reserved a room block at the Fairfield Inn for your convenience.
