Things To Do
Otis Pottery Inc
Having a piece of Otis Pottery in your home makes you an honorary Barton! Make sure to say hi to Mr. Otis and his giant dog.
Harwood Gold Store & Cafe
Our go-to spot for coffee, pastries, and locally made goods.
The Villager Pub
The absolute best spot for fresh-caught fish & chips and a beer. Sit outside if you can!
Smoke On the Water
Incredible breakfast option downtown. You can't go wrong here, but we love the lemon curd pancakes. Cash only.
Vue Wine Bar
Sit on the patio with a glass of wine and take in the water views.
Weathervane Restaurant
Another great spot for lunch, dinner, or drinks. Grab a bite to eat and watch sailboats pass through the channel.
Hotel Earl of Charlevoix
Visit Hotel Earl's rooftop "Hi Bar" for great drinks and better views.
Michigan Beach Park
This is just a short walk from downtown. Grab an ice cream or a coffee in town and walk to the pier, lighthouse, and sandy beach. Sunset here is unbeatable!
Fisherman's Island State Park
My family's go-to beach. It's perfect! Make sure to find a Petoskey stone to take home as a souvenir.
Charlevoix Mushroom Houses
Architect Earl Young's Mushroom Houses are a must-see while in Charlevoix. An avid nature lover, Young constructed each house from the stones and boulders that line the miles of shoreline in Northern Michigan. Take a self-guided tour or book a GEM car tour using the link.
Blu Dot Farm & Vineyard
Try some small batch Michigan wine in a beautiful setting. 2.5 miles from downtown Charlevoix.
Bridge Street Tap Room
Stop in for some Michigan craft beer, cider, and casual fare, with beautiful views overlooking Round Lake.
The Landing
Casual and fun spot for drinks right on the water.
