Dune Climb Inn
Overnight stay. Used their loaner bikes for a 10 mile morning ride. The bikes need servicing overall, but I’m not complaining. No complaints and I’d stay there again.

Kasa 539 Bay Street Traverse City
Great location, very comfortable with fully stocked kitchen, and beautiful view. It was a little unsettling to wait for the entrance instruction until 30 minutes before check in, but not a deal breaker. I’m just a planner and last minute is uncomfortable for me.
