Resting along the shores of Little Traverse Bay is a robust downtown community filled with boutique shops and fine dining where vacationers have been flocking for more than a century.

Summer home to Ernest Hemingway, Petoskey is well known for its distinctive stones (also the state stone) and was named one of the Best Small Towns in America by Smithsonian Magazine.

Petoskey blends modern amenities with small-town charm while offering close proximity to skiing hills, gorgeous golf courses and several inland lakes and streams great for fishing. Boat, sail, kayak, or paddleboard on the gentle ripples of an inland lake or the vast waters of Lake Michigan. All this and more make Petoskey a great place to own property, whether it’s your personal year-round home or an investment property.

Throughout the year in every season there are places to visit and things to do. Examine an art exhibit or take a cooking class at the Crooked Tree Arts Center. Take in a concert or hear an author speak at the Bay View Association.
