We’d recommend flying into Grand Rapids Airport (GRR), which is about 1.5 hour drive to Tankcreek Ranch in Branch, MI.
Family and bridal party will be staying at the Barothy Lodge. We have a hotel room block at the Summer’s Inn B&B, when calling to reserve a room, please referance the Wanty/Forslund wedding. Alternative hotel options would be the Holiday Inn Express in Ludington or the Best Western Ludington- we do not have room blocks at these locations, so we suggest reserving ASAP as rooms are likely filling up.
There are plenty of Airbnb’s/VRBO's in the area - we'd recommend searching in the Branch or Ludington areas.
Branch, MI is located on the beautiful Pere Marquette River, which offers amazing kayaking, canoeing, and fishing.
We have set up 3 separate deep sea salmon fishing charters to depart early Saturday morning - for anyone interested, please visit the 'EVENTS' section of our website and sign up there.
Ludington offers miles of Lake Michigan beach front. We'd recommend visiting Sterns Beach or the Ludington State Park for a day in the sun!
If you’re interested in Kayaking or canoeing, we’d recommend renting equipment at Barothy Lodge, located at 7478 E Barothy Rd. Additionally, the beaches of Lake Michigan are a short drive away in Ludington, and a perfect way to spend an afternoon in the sun.
