Things To Do
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
There's absolutely no pictures that would do this spot justice so we chose a picture of us having fun instead. Trust us- just check it out. Our favorite hiking spot is the Empire Bluff trail, we also love the Pyramid Point trail. There’s nothing more fun than running down the dunes at the national park!
Village Cheese Shanty
The country's most famous (and delicious) sammich!!
The Cove
Stop here to grab a Chubby Mary- a crossover of a bloody mary and smoked chub!
Farm Club
We would actually eat here every night if we could.
Van's Beach
Walk right out of your hotel to one of Michigan's best kept secrets- keep an eye out for the famous Leland blue stones!
The Riverside Inn
Amazing spot for dinner and drinks- also they make their pasta in house! It’s walking distance from the hotels!
Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail
We suggest the Grand Traverse Bay loop: 1. Black Star Farms 2. Ciccone Vineyard & Winery 3. Shady Lane Cellars 4. Rove Winery at the Gallagher Estate 5. Two K Farms
9 Bean Rows
The best pastries and yummy accoutrements.
Leland Fishing Charters or Fly Fishing Tours
Leland is a historic fishing village, and lucky for us September is the time of the Coho Salmon migration! There are charter boats that will take you out on Lake Michigan, or you can go fly fishing in the river.
Hop Lot Brewing Co. & Beer Garden
Very cute beer garden with igloos in the forest!
Leelanau Coffee Roasting Company Breakfast Bistro
Great coffee and breakfast selection!
Traverse City Whiskey Co.
Delicious cocktails and whiskey flights!
