Stay out of the traffic, stay with us!

We are the Interlochen Motel. We are Clean, Quiet, Comfortable and close to everything Northern Michigan has to offer. Just 10 minutes to the north is Traverse City, featuring the Grand Traverse Bay. Just 20 minutes to the west is the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park, with Lake Michigan as the backdrop. Just 15 minutes to the south is Crystal Mountain, where summer golf is fabulous and winter skiing is amazing.

If golfing is your game, courses are plentiful, with the Interlochen Golf Club just down the road, and Lake Ann’s Mistwood Golf Course just a little further down the road. If you want to add some fishing to your visit, Long Lake, Green Lake, Duck Lake, Lake Dubonnet, Bass Lake, Silver Lake, Turtle Lake, Cedar Lake, and Lake Ann all are top quality lakes for fishing and fun.

We are uniquely situated between Little River Casino in Manistee to the south, Leelanau sands Casino to the north, and Turtle Creek Casino to the northeast.

Our guests will often take a day and visit the wineries on the Leelanau peninsula, and the next day tour the wineries on Old Mission Peninsula.

The most intriguing aspect about our location is that we are within walking distance of the world famous Interlochen Center for the Arts. Guests come back year after year just to listen in on rehearsals, or attend one of their favorite acts that Interlochen brings in.

We just have too many activities to list but here are a few more: The Traverse City Beach Bums Professional Baseball Team; a family drive-in movie theater; fine dining; hiking trails and bike paths are all just minutes from the Interlochen Motel.

Our prices are very reasonable and our service is second to none. We have rooms with one queen bed, one queen & one double bed, two queen beds, and a suite with separate bedrooms, with a sleeper sofa in the main area, that easily sleeps 6.

We hope you will give us a try.

Testimonials

Our stay here was absolutely wonderful. My boyfriend and I made a last minute to Michigan from Cincinnati and we were lucky enough to get a room here. We're already planning to come back and stay again! Everyone was so nice and the room was so cozy and clean. We can't wait to come back.

- Jaicey & Anthony

We love staying at the Interlochen Motel, and are frequent patrons. The manager is a great, hospitable lady. She goes out of her way to make us feel welcome. That's why we keep coming back! We spend a lot of time on the patio, and usually build a fire in the fire pit or cook dinner there on the grills they provide. We would definitely recommend this motel as a great get-away.

- Jay & April

Been a fan/guest for over 8 years. The only place to stay year round in Grand Traverse area!- Having to travel to Interlochen each month this is perfect for me to be off main campus yet so close to T.C.- Clean rooms and perfect setting for a safe and restful stay.

- Deborah & Frank

Our first stay at I.M., we enjoyed the space the suite had for traveling with a toddler. Very clean. Therese made us feel so welcome & made sure we were taken care of every day. We will definitely stay with you again!

- Cheryl

I wanted to tell you how much I and my group enjoyed staying at the motel a couple of weeks ago. The next time I am in Interlochen, we will try to stay there as well. Hope ya'll (southern talk) have a wonderful summer. Tell your wife I said hello.

Greetings! My first visit to your motel was this week. Though obviously not the "TAJ", I do want to complement you on the cleanliness of the room. In that regard, it was nicer than some of the chains I've tried. Good job!

Dear Tammy,
Just a note to thank you for your support of the Traverse Symphony Orchestra. Your contribution of rooms for our out-of-town players makes all the difference in our level of musicianship and the literature we can program on our concerts. You help us to continue to grow as an organization.
On behalf of the TSO Players Committee, Thank you!

Thank you so very much for finding & sending my favorite earrings. They were part of a three piece jewelry set I bought from Native Americans in Utah last year.
We enjoyed our stay at your Motel - we always enjoy being in Interlochen. That was our fifth or sixth trip there. When we return we will surely stay at your Motel....I've always appreciated honest people like yourselves. The people who go the extra mile make all the difference. Thanks again.
