With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Frankfort, 19 miles away, has to offer. Point Betsie Lighthouse, Frankfort Beach and Frankfort Light alone justify the drive out here. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Suttons Bay, 20 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Leelanau Sands Casino. (But we’re also big fans of Ciccone Vineyard and Winery and Lake Leelanau.)
