Located eight miles from Traverse City, Grand Traverse Resort is a great weekend getaway for families. The hotel has a private freshwater beach, a small indoor water park, onsite family dining, and seasonal activities for active families including kayaking and cross-country skiing. The 600 rooms on the property include hotel and tower guestrooms and suites, as well as condos. You may find there is no reason to leave the resort's 900-acre grounds, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't. Grand Traverse Resort is surrounded by a pastoral countryside evocative, some say, of Tuscany. Nearby Traverse City is known as the "Cherry Capital of the World," and the region is full of charming orchards, vineyards and forests. Traverse City also hosts the annual Nickelodeon Great Family Fun Festival, and its own annual Cherry Festival, both events that are popular with families.
