Hotels in Caberfae Peaks Ski & Golf Resort

Caberfae Peaks Ski & Golf Resort sits in the forested lake country north of Cadillac, Michigan, with stay options spread across Mesick, Cadillac and Lake City. Golfers pair a round here with cycling trails, Cherry Capital Airport access and a genuinely quiet, small-town base.

Golfers who base themselves here choose between three distinct towns: Mesick, closest to the course and its cottages and motels; Cadillac, with the widest run of hotels, breakfast rooms and indoor pools; and Lake City, quieter still, with lakeview suites a short drive from the first tee. Carl T. Johnson Hunting And Fishing Center and Mt. Zion Ski Area sit within a half-hour of most stays, useful on a rain delay or a rest day between rounds. Cherry Capital Airport and Manistee County-Blacker Airport both serve the area, so groups flying in from different cities can still land within reach of the same base. The region reads as northern Michigan at its most unhurried: pine and hardwood forest, small-town main streets, and a golf calendar that runs firmly May through October, with June and September holding the steadiest weather for a full four rounds.

Local tips

  • Book a Cadillac hotel if your group wants breakfast included and an indoor pool for the evening after golf.
  • Choose Mesick for the shortest drive to the course itself, especially useful for an early tee time.
  • Aim for June or September: the shoulder-season weather holds steadiest for back-to-back rounds without summer humidity.
  • Fly into Cherry Capital Airport for the shorter transfer; Manistee County-Blacker works if your group is coming from the west side of the state.
  • Bring layers even in summer: mornings off the lakes in Lake City run cooler than the forecast for Cadillac suggests.
  • Reserve Lake City lakeview suites early — several run just a handful of rooms and fill for weekend societies fast.

Where to stay

FAQ

Which town should our group stay in near Caberfae Peaks?

Cadillac offers the widest hotel selection with breakfast and indoor pools, best for a group of six or more. Mesick sits closest to the course itself for the shortest morning drive, while Lake City suits a couple wanting a quieter, lakeside base.

How far is Cherry Capital Airport from the golf course?

Cherry Capital Airport sits roughly 45 to 78 kilometers from the stays in this cluster depending on your base town, with Mesick and Lake City closer than Cadillac. Manistee County-Blacker Airport is the shorter option for stays around Cadillac itself.

Is there anything to do here besides golf?

Carl T. Johnson Hunting And Fishing Center and Mt. Zion Ski Area both sit within a half-hour of most stays, useful for a rest-day outing. Cycling routes around Lake City and the lakes themselves also draw non-golfing partners along for the trip.

What is the best season to play golf here?

June through September holds the most reliable weather window, with June and September offering steadier conditions than the humid peak of summer. The course season runs May to October, so shoulder months reward groups who can travel outside school holidays.

Are the hotels here suited to a golf group or a couple?

Cadillac's hotels lean toward groups, with family rooms, breakfast buffets and indoor pools to fill an evening after golf. Lake City's smaller cottages and suites suit a couple better, trading amenities for lake views and quiet.

Do I need a car to get around this area?

Yes — the three base towns and the course itself are connected by short country-road drives rather than any local transit. Renting a car at Cherry Capital or Manistee County-Blacker airport is the standard approach for groups landing here.
