Come play and stay in Traverse City!
In Traverse City it’s not about any one thing. Or two things. It’s about everything, all of it, coming together in the simplest, most natural way. The awe-inspiring moments captured by getting out there and engaging in familiar and new experiences.
It’s easy to roll from one thing to the next as smoothly and fluidly as the waves of Grand Traverse Bay wash a shore. Tour the wineries, scale a dune at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, push off the Lake Michigan shoreline and immerse yourself in our charming lakeside town.
And when the sun sets, find a cozy spot along the water to watch the show. It’s when the real magic happens and where the unforgettable conversations lead to lasting memories.
Traverse City's regional airport, Cherry Capital Airport (TVC) is located less than five miles from ouir award-winning downtown area. Listed as one of the top 25 growing airports in the country, Cherry Capital Airport offers air service from Allegiant, American, Dela and United Airlines.
