TRAVEL: VROOM VROOM.
If you are traveling in-state: drive, walk, ride your bike.
If you are out-of-state...you could also drive, but we would recommend flying.
Drive: From a vague address in CA, it's about 35-hour drive - 2444 miles.
But if you didn't sign up for a 2-day road trip... there is an airport right in Traverse City; See below for alternative options.
BUT WHERE DO I STAY?!?
If hotels are your thing:
There are multiple hotels in the surrounding area of all different shapes and sizes. See below for just a few recommendations.
If someone else's house is more your speed... there are plenty of Airbnbs and Vrbos in the area. I would look early as this will be just the start of "busy vacation season".
If you have the time, we recommend spending additional time before or after the wedding festivities to explore northern Michigan. Nothing beats a northern Michigan summer!
