Book direct via the property website
The Budget Inn Grayling earns its place on one criterion: cheapest pillow within reach of Forest Dunes. You'll find roughly 30 functional rooms, no resort amenities to speak of, and an I-75 location 45 miles north of Forest Dunes in Roscommon. Gaylord and the Treetops corridor sit about an hour further north. At $55 to $85 a night, this is where you stay when the green fees are doing the spending. Best treated as a one-night stopover when you're routing between Forest Dunes and the Traverse City or Gaylord side of Northern Michigan, not as a base for the whole trip.
