Rainy day at Sleeping Bear Resort? ☔🌿

We like to think of it as an invitation to slow down. Cozy up inside your cabin with a warm drink or listen to the rain fall over the lake. Maybe catch up on reading, games, or simply doing nothing at all. Or, if you’re ready to head out, there’s still plenty to explore nearby:

- Catch live music at the Lake Ann Brewery Woodshed (it’s fully indoors, but the garage doors open in nice weather)
- Visit the Almira Historical Society Museum
- Spend the afternoon shopping in Traverse City
- Catch a movie at the iconic State Theatre

Rain or shine, there’s always something to enjoy up north. Plan your next cozy spring escape at sleepingbearresort.com

Morel mushroom season is almost here in Northern Michigan! 🍄🍄🍄

From as early as late April through the end of June, these wild mushrooms begin popping up after warm spring rains, especially near ash, poplar, and elm trees.

While staying at Sleeping Bear Resort, we highly recommend this fun, nature-filled activity for guests. Once you’ve found your treasure, try cooking them with fresh asparagus, tossing them into a creamy pasta, or simply sautéing with herbs. They are simply irresistible! 🌿

If you really want to celebrate these delicious fungi, we recommend attending the 66th annual National Morel Mushroom Festival in Boyne City! From May 14th - May 17th, hundreds of morel lovers gather to celebrate this marvelous mushroom. Enjoy morel tastings, a national competitive hunt, seminars, arts & crafts, concerts, a carnival, and more.
