Timber Ridge Resort in T.C. is a HIdden Treasure
One of my favorite aspects of living in Northern Michigan is learning those secret little places that re difficult to find on a short weekend. One such place is Timber Ridge Resort in Traverse City. In the winter, it's an amazing place to cross country ski, snow shoe, or just enjoy a classic lodge. They have a lighted groomed trail that ties into The Vasa Trail System. For a leisurely glide or for your first try at cross country skiing choose the short loop and head right back to the lodge to warm up by the fire. If you're more ambitious, head out from the lodge and enjoy as many miles of trails as you'd like on The Vasa Trail. The lodge has a ton of seating and it's normally arranged so that small groups can congregate in a more intimate setting. The giant stone fireplace normally has a roaring fire going this time of year and it's a perfect place to sit and reflect on the day. They also provide banquet facilities if you want a casual setting for your next event. We're actually holding our next company wide meeting there next month. In the summer it's an ideal place to camp with tent sites and full service RV sites. There's a pool, track for these great four wheel carts and much more. If you're a mountain biker, it allows you to step right out your door and onto the trails. Next time you're in town, head out to the Eastern end of Hammond Road just South of Traverse City and check it out for yourself.
