Things To Do

Get the full Michigan experience and explore some of our favorite places in Northern Michigan. Other than Little Fleet and a river paddle trip, there is much Up North offers. We couldn't fit everything, so let us know if you are looking for something specific- we would love to help make this trip the best!

Farm Club

10051 Lake Leelanau Drive, Traverse City, MI 49684

Farm Club is a farm, restaurant, brewery and market nestled in Leelanau County just 7 miles from downtown Traverse City. This is our favorite place to eat every time we are up north and have taken inspiration from their seasonal menu to plan our own. We love their outdoor patio and airy dining which are open on a first-come first-served basis.

Mega Bite Charters LLC

613 Randolph Street, Traverse City, MI 49684

If you are looking to truly experience all that Northern Michigan has to offer, you need to spend a day on the water, fishing. Check out a charter fishing trip and catch a variety of fish in the bay.

Mammoth Distilling Cocktail Lounge

221 Garland Street, Traverse City, MI 49684

Enjoy a full tasting or just a drink and feel free to order a pizza from next door. Mammoth was where we began the planning process after getting engaged. We loved the Gin & Tonic so much, we will be serving it at the cabin!

The Workshop Brewing Company

221 Garland Street, Traverse City, MI 49684

A classic Michigan brewery complete with regularly scheduled live music.

Mackinac Island

Mackinac Island, MI 49757

Take the ferry to visit Mackinac Island, dividing Lake Michigan and Lake Huron and splitting the upper and lower peninsulas. History. Nature. Relaxation. This island is like a step back in time. Explore the island on horse and buggy or rent a bike to find the best fudge you have ever had. Booking lodging for 1-2 nights on the island is highly recommended for the full experience, but it does book up quickly. Reach out to Sarah for more planning recommendations.

City Bike Shop

747 East Eighth Street, Traverse City, MI 49686

We love exploring the lakeshore on two wheels. Enjoy a ride around the bay on an e-bike, making ice cream stops extra easy.

Legs Inn

6425 North Lake Shore Drive, Cross Village, MI 49723

Did you know we are both Polish? For the best Polish food and all around fun experience, check out Legs Inn. Situated on top of a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, you won't mind waiting to get a table sipping a cold drink and lounging in the lawn. It is a bit of a drive, but worth every bite. We recommend a late lunch/early dinner as the wait can get quite long.

Lavender Hill Farm

7354 Horton Bay Road North, Boyne City, MI 49712

Enjoy walking through the fields of lavender and stock up on the best smelling soap you will find.
