Travel

The Wedding Website of Kara Genther and William Bowman
We recommend booking your lodging as soon as possible (most hotels open reservations 1 year in advance, so try to book in July/August 2024!) Even if you're not 100% sure if you're able to come, we recommend at least booking and then you can likely cancel for free later on. Summer is a super busy time in Northern Michigan, and accommodations can fill up very quickly. Please note that uber and lyft are extremely limited in this area (if available at all).

Flight

Cherry Capital Airport (TVC)

TVC is ~45 minutes from Northport. Connecting flights are common from Detroit, Chicago, and other cities depending on the time of year. Airline options include Delta, American, and United. Car rentals are available on site. Another option is flying into Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR) in Grand Rapids and driving up north.

House Or Rental

Airbnb/vrbo

** Please follow click "view" to see some great options we have compiled!! Airbnb or vrbo are great options for lodging. Hotel rates get very high in the this area over the summer, and there are many cost effective options on airbnb/vrbo, especially if you stay with a group! We recommend looking in the Northport, Suttons Bay, Leland, Cedar, and Traverse City areas.
