There’s no better place to embrace summer than Traverse City, and Dyer Lake Vacation Home is your ultimate retreat to soak up all the season’s charms. Nestled on a serene no wake lake and just a short drive from downtown Traverse City, this home offers comfort, privacy, and easy access to Northern Michigan’s best attractions. Let’s plan the perfect week at your summer getaway!
Day 1: Arrival & Relaxation
Unpack, breathe in the fresh lake air, and settle into the cozy comfort of Dyer Lake Vacation Home. Enjoy the ducks on the lake and when evening comes sit out on the deck or around the firepit and a sky full of stars. If you are lucky, you may catch some Northern Lights!
Day 2: Explore Downtown Traverse City
Kick off the week with a morning coffee at Mundos Coffee and explore downtown’s boutique shops, galleries, and charming streets. For lunch, try The Little Fleet for local eats and drinks. Spend the afternoon walking along Clinch Park Beach.
Day 3: Wine Tasting on the Old Mission Peninsula
Traverse City is famous for its wine, and the Old Mission Peninsula offers scenic views and award-winning wineries. Chateau Chantal and Mari Vineyards are must-stops. Don’t forget to pick up a bottle (or two!) to enjoy back at the house.
Day 4: Adventure Time!
Take to the water! Rent a paddleboard or kayak on the Boardman River, or sail on a tall ship or the Nauti Cat on West Bay. If you prefer staying on land, bike the TART trail for picturesque views.
Day 5: Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
Just a short drive away, Sleeping Bear Dunes is a must-see. Hike the Dune Climb, drive the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive, or relax on the beach. End your day with some amazing Italian food at Funistrada.
Day 6: Family Fun at the Vacation Home
Spend a full day enjoying Dyer Lake. Fish from the dock, paddle across the lake, or let the kids play while you fire up the grill. Don’t forget s’mores by the firepit as the sun sets.
Day 7: Farmers Market & Departure
Before heading home, visit the Sara Hardy Farmers Market or the Interlochen Farmers Market to grab fresh produce, baked goods, and local crafts as souvenirs. Check out feeling rejuvenated and ready for another visit!
