Northwest Michigan, Michigan hotel rooms at the Independent

"Perfect last minute book for a family Fourth of July trip! Just a short 15 minute drive to front street in Traverse city and awesome onsite pool options, dining, shopping, arcade and more. We took advantage of the free shuttle over to the resorts private beach where there is also another pool! We swam for a couple hours then grabbed some food at the poolside bar before walking down to the private beach which is just right outside of the gate. The kids enjoyed the arcade and getting ice cream to finish the day. Sleeping bear national lakeshore is also just a short 25/30 minute drive which we highly recommend checking out! All in all it is a short drive to get to the action but it is still a great location and definitely packed full of great amenities! Will definitely stay again next year! "
