Traverse City Vacation Rental Lodging, Festivals, Activities, Culture Fun

Traverse City is easily the Michigan destination for indoor and outdoor activity, events and festivals. If you haven’t been here you surely should look into checking it out soon since the vacation traffic is on a continual growth increase and the family Vacation Rental supply and availability is on the decrease.

Traverse City outdoor activity is supported year-round and it shows with the continual flow of vacationers zipping in for summer and winter events like

The National Cherry Festival, a grand week long annual event

The Traverse City Film Festival a newer record setting event on hyper growth

The Epicurean Classic, an exquisite waterfront food and wine festival

Horses buy the Bay a large well organized Equestrian Festival

The North American VASA a popular ski race

The Ice Man Cometh an endurance bike race

But while these events bring thousands of people to the area annually for the first time they also bring the repeat family vacationers that make annual tradition visits to enjoy these events along with many more outdoor activities this area is known for. Simply put there really isn’t much you can’t do here.

As the crowds have grown the hotels and motels continue to increase, but for the family vacationers looking for rental homes, that market has been on the decrease. What’s happening is some townships and the city itself is limiting the use of single family zoned properties to non vacation rental use in order to protect the neighborhoods along with neighbor’s rights. These actions have taken a bite out of the available vacation rentals for larger families and groups looking to lodge everyone all in one place with extra amenities like a kitchen and yard.

While new places do pop up with multi zoning status to fill some spaces they in no way seem to be on the increase as far replacing the ones coming off the market so looking early can be a big benefit in finding the right place for you.
