Visitors to the northern Michigan region will find a wide range of lodging options, from luxury hotels to rustic cabins and camping sights, quaint bed and breakfasts to historic inns. Some lodgings can be in converted farmhouses, others in renovated farmhouses. You can choose from quaint “mom and pop” motels, or those belonging to the big chains, such as Holiday Inn and Super 8. Keep in mind that many of the smaller, independent motels may not accept credit cards.
For longer stays, cabin and waterfront-housing rental options are widely available throughout the region. Camping is also an inexpensive and convenient way to arrange long-term or short-term lodging. A good lodging option can also be found at northern Michigan's camp and cabin sites, which are either privately owned or state-run. Many campgrounds have quite a few modern amenities including electricity, bathrooms and showers. More rustic sites with vault toilets and hand pumps are generally less expensive.
In the northern Lower Peninsula most of the hotels, motels, and inns are located in the towns. In Traverse City, for example, visitors can choose from over 5,500 rooms in expensive motels to deluxe resorts. Charlevoix also offers a generous assortment of lodging options for wallets of every size.
In Mackinaw City, there are over 50 hotels and motels. To stay directly on Mackinac Island there are a dozen or so different lodging options, including smaller less-expensive B&Bs, and, of course, the famous (and pricey) Grand Hotel. During the peak summer months arrangements should be made in advance.
In the Upper Peninsula, motels are located along major highways. Lodging options are clustered along State Road 35, State Road 64, and U.S. Highway 2.
