Discover Old Mission Peninsula
Who would have thought, you can arrive in a lively, bustling city and, from one moment to the next, step into peace and serenity? You've just discovered one of the gems of Traverse City!

Old Mission Peninsula starts at the northern edge of Traverse City and divides Grand Traverse Bay into East and West Arms. What you end up with is a spit of land surrounded by ocean on both sides, but that's not all that makes it really special! Driving along the peninsula, you'll find rolling vineyards, cherry orchards, and farm stands lining the route.

Spend your days visiting award-winning wineries, enjoy tastings with panoramic lake views, & cycle quiet country roads for miles. Stop at Mission Point Lighthouse for history and Insta-worthy scenery, or find a quiet beach for a picnic by the water.

For your stay, we recommend the Comfort Inn Traverse City, a friendly hotel in the very north of Traverse City and the perfect spot to access Old Mission Peninsula. Set in a quiet area, around 2 blocks from the beach, its guests have nothing but praise for this Comfort Inn.
