Travel & Stay
We can’t wait for you to spend time in one of our favorite places, Northern Michigan (“Up North”)!
Since Traverse City is a popular summer destination, lodging may book up quickly! We recommend booking as soon as you can.
For our non-Michigan friends and family, you may choose to drive or to fly into the Cherry Capital Airport/Traverse City Airport (TVC). Additionally, a great alternative to flying directly into TC is flying into Grand Rapids direct & driving into Traverse (~1.5 hours).
Driving distance from Chicago to TC: 5 hours
Driving distance from Indianapolis to TC: 6 hours
Please see below for different lodging options! If you don’t see something that works for you — don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We know you are making a significant time and financial investment to come celebrate with us — thank you and we love you so much!
Love, Lizzie & Matt
