Our Story

Travel

For our out-of-state guests, there are two great options for getting to Alpena, Michigan: Fly into Detroit (DTW): From Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, you can rent a car and make the 4-hour drive up to Alpena. Fly into Alpena (APN): Alpena County Regional Airport is the closest option, just a quick 10-minute drive to the hotel. Car rentals are available at this airport as well. Fly into Traverse City (TVC): Cherry Capital Airport in Traverse City is about 3 hours from Alpena by car. This scenic drive takes you through northern Michigan and offers plenty of places to stop along the way. Rental cars are available at the airport.

Lodging

We've reserved room blocks at both the Holiday Inn and the Hampton Inn. We’ll also have a shuttle service available both nights between both hotels and the farm to make transportation safe and easy. Guests staying at other locations are also welcome to utilize the shuttle service at the hotels. There are also plenty of options on Airbnb and VRBO, but we recommend booking early since summer inventory fills up fast in this part of Michigan. For those feeling adventurous, our friends Dion and Molly have generously offered space on their farm for camping. If you’d like to camp, please let us know as soon as possible so we can get a sense of numbers and make the necessary arrangements.

Call 989-340-1800 and reference the Brichta/Metzner Wedding or visit the link below to book your room in the reserved block.
