Things To Do
Petoskey State Park
This is a gorgeous representation of all the natural diversity of the area. Hiking trails, forest and beaches all in the same park. If you're lucky, you may find a prized Petoskey Stone!
City Park Grill - Petoskey Historic Gaslight District
Downtown Petoskey is definitely a must see. The quaint town overlooks beautiful Little Traverse Bay. City Park Grill is full of history, centrally located to many cute shops and bars, and was an old haunt of Hemingway.
Barrel Back Restaurant - Swimming at Walloon Lake
Barrel Back is a brewery and restaurant located on beautiful Walloon Lake. Walloon is crystal clear, and perfect for swimming, so bring a bathing suit. After a dip, enjoy lunch, dinner or a delicious craft beer.
Boyne Falls Polish Festival
The 45th annual Boyne Falls Polish Festival is being held August 1-4th. The festival draws tourists from all over the country. Attractions include Polish food, amusements and music.
Mackinac Island
We invite our guests to join us the day after the ceremony on a day trip to Mackinac Island. The island is a trip back in time. There are no cars allowed and it must be reached by ferry. Once on the island, visitors can enjoy the world famous fudge, rum runners and a tour of the historic Grand Hotel.
Betty’s Restaurant
Classic breakfast, damn fine cherry pie.
Tunnel of Trees
Ranked among the most scenic roads in the nation. M-119 begins at the north end of Petoskey, but it doesn’t officially become The Tunnel of Trees until north of Harbor Springs. From there, the state highway becomes very narrow, running 20 miles along a spectacular bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. Watch for especially sharp twists at Devil’s Elbow and Horseshoe Curve. Along the way, you’ll find fun shops, must-try local restaurants, spectacular scenery and fascinating historical pit spots. Stop for lunch at historic landmark Legs Inn, family owned for nearly 100 years.
