Travel and Accommodations

Nearby airports
The closest airport is the Traverse City Airport (TVC) and it is approx. one hour from Frankfort/Elberta. United Express, Northwest, American Eagle and Delta all fly to Traverse City. Fares can be higher to this airport.

The best option is the Detroit Airport (DTW) which is approx. four and a half hours from Frankfort/Elberta. It is a bit longer of a drive, but the airfares are inexpensive, car rental is easy, the drive is nice, plus when you add in lay-overs, it is about the same amount of time as flying to Traverse City.

Another option is the Chicago airport which is about a 5 hour drive to Frankfort.

Finally, the Grand Rapids Airport (GRR) is approx. three hours from Frankfort/Elberta. Midwest, American Eagle, United, Northwest, Delta and Continental all fly to this airport.

Accommodations

We recommend making lodging arrangements as soon as possible as there is limited availability in the area. The most convenient town to stay in is Frankfort, MI. There are several hotels, bed and breakfasts and inns and it is close to the wedding venue and many of the recreational activities.

The largest resort option is the Harbor Lights Resort, located in downtown Frankfort, right on Lake Michigan.

A smaller resort with old-fashioned summer cottages is the Chimney Corners Resort. There are some old chestnut trees in the forest back behind the resort!

If you like inns and bed and breakfast, then there are several options..
Betsie Bay Inn is located in downtown Frankfort.
The Stone Wall Inn is also located in downtown Frankfort.
In Elberta, there is the La Rue House Bed and Breakfast.

Luette and Todd are getting married on June 27, 2009 in Frankfort, Michigan.
We can't wait to share the beautiful Michigan summers with all of you! We are hoping that people will come the week before the wedding and experience the water, trees, beaches, swimming, lakes, rustic cabins, long days, beautiful sunsets and sunrises, campfires, hikes and great company.
