My wife had promised me a brewery hopping trip in Traverse City for forever. She said she had time off if I wanted to go for a long weekend. So, I looked for a spot within 10 minutes of most of the breweries but away from the busy. We wanted to stay on a lake just for the view, because you can only go to so many breweries in a day and we wanted a quiet relaxing place where we could go back to after dinner and I could watch football and she could sew with a view. It was perfect for our needs. The host was very helpful and quick to respond. If we go back to TC, we’ll book this place again if available. ##### David W.
