It's World Bicycle Day! Did you know that Traverse City has miles of paved trails, perfect for all-day biking adventures? The TART trails weave in and out of Traverse City and the surrounding area. Our favorite is The Leelanau Trail. It's 17 miles long and takes you on a breathtaking ride from downtown Traverse City through farm country and forests to downtown Suttons Bay with plenty of chances to stop at local wineries along the way. Here are some of our properties that are just minutes from trailheads. These rentals make a great "home base" for a vacation spent out on the trail!
