Bob up and down the region’s drumlins (rolling glacial hills), meander past cherry farms and vineyards, and see the boat tie-ups beginning to swell on Leelanau County’s inland lakes. Stop in at the cafe within the Mill, a former grist mill from 1879 on the Crystal River. It reopened last year after a painstaking restoration and features behemoth oak posts and beams and original milling equipment, as well as artwork (check out the giant gherkin pickles painted onto local coffee bags by the Northport artist Jesse Hickman). Order a simple lunch of panzanella salad ($12) and wander out to the back deck, seemingly suspended above the river. 12:30 p.m. Hike the dunes to Mama Lake Continue west to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, a 70,000-acre stretch of protected forests, sand dunes and shoreline named for a legend of the Anishinaabek (a collective of Native American peoples that live in the Great Lakes region, and beyond); one-day pass, $25\. Many tourists flock to the steepest sand dune, known as the Dune Climb, and a seven-mile auto loop called Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive. But Glen Haven, a restored 1920s village north of both, offers history, dune hiking and vistas of Mama Lake, as some locals call the open waters of Lake Michigan, all in one stop. See Glen Haven’s vintage cannery building, boat museum, blacksmith shop and general store before proceeding to the Sleeping Bear Point trailhead to hike about 15 minutes across rolling dunes to the water’s edge. Spot Petoskey stones, fossilized coral unique to the region; take a quick (brisk!) dip; and skip stones toward North and South Manitou Islands in the distance. Instead of doubling back to Traverse City the way you came, make a loop by continuing south to the town of Empire, stopping in at Grocer’s Daughter Chocolate, a confectionary shop in a Granny Smith green building that hugs the side of the road. The co-owner Jody Hayden, who sells ethically sourced chocolate that is molded into bars, barks and even sleeping bears, added a gelato shop next door in 2022 (opens for the summer on May 25). Ask for a scoop of Ecuadorean milk chocolate or the olive-oil gelato that is made with oil from Fustini’s, a Traverse City importer ($5.50, one scoop). Those who are dairy-free should try the seasonal sorbets, like peach or saskatoon (also known as serviceberry). Interlochen : (about 23 miles away) Music lovers and locals don’t let summer pass without catching a recital or performance at Interlochen Center for the Arts, a boarding school and performance campus 15 miles southwest of Traverse City that attracts teenage prodigies from all over the globe. Travelers tight on time can find world-class music in Traverse City proper as well. Inside Commongrounds Cooperative, a new community-owned development, see a show at the Alluvion, an intimate 150-person performance space with stellar acoustics that hosts funk acts, jazz bands, piano trios, guitar ensembles and more, from Interlochen and well beyond. This summer, its Alluvial Nights series brings together D.J. sets and projections to guarantee dancing well after the late northern Michigan sunset. Dec 2024 : Wall Street Journal, Traverse City as one of the top 10 places to visit (Dear Camp is near, about 25 miles from Traverse City Airport) "Outgoing transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg has publicly said that a desire to be closer to his husband’s family triggered his 2022 move to Traverse City, Mich., but we suspect other factors were also at play. The city’s restaurant scene is shining bright. Nearby, the Leelanau and Old Mission peninsulas—the last two fingers of the state’s famous mitt—beckon visitors with bucolic vineyards and pristine shorelines. Within a short drive of downtown, visitors have their pick of more than 50 wineries, and an ever-growing list of microbreweries, cideries and distilleries. Mammoth, for instance, has embarked on a mission to resurrect a rare heirloom rye, aiming for a 2026 unveiling. Meanwhile, try the bourbon and aquavit at Northern Latitudes, which opens its tasting room in early 2025\. At Farm Club, servers work the same fields that supply the kitchen, and at the fledgling Modern Bird, the local bounty is transformed into creations like lake-caught walleye with celery, apple ... Though Traverse City can feel surprisingly cosmopolitan for its size, nature is never far. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore with its towering sands and azure water is a 30-minute drive away and Downtown’s newly redone Grandview Parkway feeds into a regional bike trail network of more than 60 paved miles. —Andrew Nelson " ## Property amenities ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;

The host did a great job communicating with us if we had questions and helped us to find over way by providing photos since we were arriving late at night. There is a lot more space in the cabin than we thought. I would have loved to have stayed on a warmer weekend to enjoy the porch. Overall, it was a comfy and cozy stay. Thank you. ##### Debbie K.
