Mom of a girl and a boy, ages 9 and 7 and to our four legged almost 20 year old Golden Retriever, Daniella June. Raised in Michigan. Traverse City is a special place for me as we would go "Up North" every summer growing up. I want my kids to know the area as they grow up. I enjoy learning new things and exploring new adventures. Please reach out with any questions or concerns during your stay. We are so glad that you chose Sleepy Bear Retreat for your home away from home!
Sleep Bear Retreat is right on the TART trail and easy distance to downtown Traverse City, public park/beach, the library and many other fun destinations!
