We are proud to have Traverse City, Leland and Lake Leelanau our area recently featured in the United Airlines “Hemispheres” magazine (June 2023), “we walk down the road to Van’s Beach for the sunset. We plop down in the sand and watch the horizon glow gold, then pink. Even though I know, rationally that we’re on the pinky of the Michigan mitten, overlooking a lake in the middle of the country, it feels like the edge of the world.”

GOLF
“We had a great time in Saugatuck at the Rivercroft Cottage. We are a “Golf Gang” of 8 women who take a trip every year and Riverside met our every need. Walking distance to down town. Short drives to beautiful golf courses and the outdoor space with enough room to enjoy dinner and a glass of wine by the fire. Melissa responded quickly and was a great host. We hope to come again soon!
