Ernest Hemingway is not the only person to find beauty and relaxation in Petoskey.

And that is just in the summer. Petoskey is a four-seasons community packed with things to do. From beautiful fall foliage, to morel mushrooms in the spring, to top notch skiing and snowboarding in the winter months, we have it all. Winter activities are truly spectacular in the Petoskey area.
