Downtown Detroit is about 30 minutes from Novi and offers plenty to see and do for visitors. Guests can expect a lively downtown atmosphere with walkable streets, great restaurants and bars, and a strong sports culture. In July, you can catch a Tigers game at Comerica Park, walk along the riverfront, or enjoy live music and entertainment all throughout the city.

Up North

From Petoskey to Traverse City to Mackinac Island, up north Michigan you will find charming lake towns, vast Great Lakes, and a slower pace; perfect for relaxing after an exciting weekend! See a couple of ideas for each city below. Petoskey: Little Traverse Bay, Gaslight District, and great golf courses Traverse City: Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, visit a local winery, or walk in the cute town Mackinac Island: NO cars here! Bike or walk the island and make sure to try some fudge
