Exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes with your dog? Here are the BARK basics for a pawsitive park visit!

🦮 Bag waste and dispose of it properly.
🐕 Always keep your dog on a leash no longer than 6 feet, and during hunting season, make sure they are wearing a hi-vis pet vest.
🐦 Respect wildlife by keeping your pup from disturbing animals.
📍 Know where dogs are allowed—some trails and beaches have seasonal or year-round restrictions.

You can find more pet-friendly areas and restrictions here: https://www.nps.gov/slbe/planyourvisit/pets.htm

If you’ve stayed at the Nook, you may have wondered why the ottoman was in such a strange spot in the kitchen. The answer is simple, every dog deserves a spot by a window! We may need to get Wes a booster seat though!

Summer 2026 is in the books.

To everyone who spent a week up here with the kids, the dog, the in-laws, or just a laptop and a decent Wi-Fi signal: you made it a great one. We thank you! Lynsey and I read every review. We're still laughing about the kitchen island with its own zip code.

2027 summer dates are already starting to fill. If you have a week in mind for next year, now is a good time to take a look.

Dates and booking are on the website, https://the-northern-nook.com

See you up north!

Last summer’s big backyard overhaul is paying off—the space looks incredible in the new photos. A few summer dates remain, and fall is wide open for color tours, wineries, and quiet escapes.

Midwest Living has proclaimed Traverse City its Best of the Midwest “Food City of the Year” for 2026 - a huge nod to a spot that’s already known and loved by local and regional foodies and that has taken big steps into the national spotlight recently.
