We spent the past two afternoons enjoying the trails. Yesterday snowshoeing and today cross country skiing. Nice trails designated for each activity. Very quiet, we did not see anyone else on the trails either day.

Cherry Street Market

Reviewed By David M - Dumfries, Virginia

Whenever we travel to Traverse City or points near there, we always stop at the market. Sometimes we load up on fruits and vegetables and other times it's for their spices or deli items. A big selection packed into a small place!

Stayed at Lakeview in a "studio" room. Whirlpool tub, king bed, fireplace and full kitchen. Kitchen area very nice but has minimal cooking utensils but just enough for our needs. The room was very nice, clean with plenty of towels already in the room without asking.

During our stay (2nd night of 3) they blew a generator causing many things to be shut down including the hot water. It was restored about 24 hours later. At check out a $50 adjustment was made to our bill.

Winnie and Heather at the front desk were both wonderful!

Bee Well Mead and Cider

Reviewed By Ned G - Grand Ledge, Michigan

My sons and I had a great time sampling the 9 different ciders and meads that they have available. I liked the King's Cherry cider the best and bought 4 bottles to take home. My sons ended up with over a case of cider of various flavors. The co-owner took the time to explain his various products and some of the unique places he goes to get the various fruits he uses. We could also watch the bottling process as some of the bottles came straight from the tank. It was a great way to spend over an hour to taste and learn about ciders and meads. I will be stopping by again when I am in the area. Very enjoyable.

Very challenging course with gorgeous views on every hole! Many rental houses alongside some of the holes which were interesting. Well kept greens, fairways and even the giant beeches they called bunkers were nicely kept which made it easier to get out of...maybe.

Located in beautiful Northern Michigan minutes from Traverse City & in close proximity to the resort towns of Charlevoix, Petoskey & Harbor Springs. The Grandview is "The Best Kept Secret " in Michigan's golf-rich landscape. Rated Four Stars by Golf Digest & named Best Places to Play our course is an exceptional value. A true Up North experience. We have great food and can host weddings & more!

Reviewed By Dan K - Braselton, Georgia

I had been told that this was a great value and they were right. the food at the clubhouse was great it was burger special day for $2.50 so we had one (it was very good) and another special of theirs, the "Grandview club" and sweet potato fries-yummy... the golf course was a great layout, no similar holes in a row, great views, and the greens were some of the best in Michigan. all in all a great value look them up if you are in the area.
