Planning Your Stay at Tamarack Lodge
What to Know Before You Arrive
Planning a stay at Tamarack Lodge starts with one simple question: What kind of experience are you looking for?
Located on East Grand Traverse Bay, Tamarack Lodge offers easy access to everything Traverse City is known for, while still feeling tucked away from the crowds. Many guests choose to spend a mix of their time right on property, balancing a few off-site adventures with long stretches of lakeside relaxation.
If you’re visiting in spring, expect quieter days, cool mornings, and peaceful shoreline walks.
Summer brings full beach days, dock time, and long evenings by the water.
Fall offers crisp air, changing colors, and a slower pace that returning guests love.
A trip in the winter if full of hot chocoa by the fire, board games with loved ones, and venturing out to one of the nearby ski hills.
Packing is simple: comfortable clothes, swimsuits, layers for cooler evenings, and a mindset ready to unplug. Whether you’re staying for a long weekend or an extended visit, Tamarack Lodge is designed to make arrival easy and departure hard.
