The Experience

Why Travelers Choose Plaza

We've been welcoming guests to Benzonia for years. Here's what makes a stay with us different from a chain motel down the highway.

Prime Benzie Highway Location

Right on Highway 10, minutes from downtown Benzonia, the Flat River, and the trailheads that lead to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Shoreline.

Cottage Privacy

Our standalone cottages give you room to spread out — a real alternative to the cramped motel room, especially for families and longer visits.

Year-Round Open

Whether you're chasing fall colors, winter snowshoeing, summer lake days, or spring wildflowers — Plaza is open all year to welcome you.

Friendly, Personal Service

No front-desk robots here. When you call or check in, you'll talk to people who actually know the area and can point you to the best spots.

Easy Highway Access

Located right on US Highway 10 with free parking — no navigating narrow streets or paying for a spot. Pull up, unload, and go.

Gateway to the Leelanau

Cherry orchards, wineries, vineyards, and the shores of Grand Traverse Bay are all within a short drive. Plaza puts you close to it all.
