Beautifully rural, yet sophisticated – and bursting with things to do. That’s the perfect way to describe our little corner of northern lower Michigan with Lake Michigan and located 28 miles SW of Traverse City. The best part about Benzie County is that every season brings new life and adventure – from the 67 miles of Lake Michigan coastline, to the blossoming state forest trails, to the 135 miles of groomed ski terrain – there’s no better place than northern Michigan.
