There is also a well-renowned microbrewery, Stormcloud, and the historic Garden Theater, which is great for catching a new-release movie.This vacation rental is also only a 20-minute drive from the start of the spectacular Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore which provides an incredible abundance of natural beauty, jaw-dropping dunes, lots of trails for hiking and biking, and the great opportunity for kayaking, canoeing, and/or tubing on the Platte River, which flows through the park and out to Lake Michigan.This vacation home is also just a 45-minute drive from the start of Traverse City and a 60-minute drive from downtown Traverse City.
