Northern Michigan's small town paradise

For over a century, Petoskey has served as a seasonal destination for visitors from all over the United States. Known for its mild summer climate, vast lakes and rivers, boutique shopping and dining, and dynamic natural splendor, Petoskey is its own unique paradise. The character of the town harkens back to a simpler time, with late 19th century Victorian homes and the famed downtown "Gaslight District" inviting visitors and residents to a slower, more relaxed and welcoming way of life.

In recent years, Petoskey has evolved and grown significantly to reflect the rapidly changing world we live in. No longer is Petoskey simply a landing spot for seasonal visitors and tourists. With exceptional schools, health care, and telecommunications access, Petoskey has become a popular location for the working professional whose job goes where they go. More and more people are identifying Petoskey as a great place to raise a family, manage a career, and enjoy the varied seasons Northern Michigan delivers. Rather than head home as the weather cools, residents stick around to enjoy the winter wonderland of "Up North," taking advantage of the finest skiing in the Midwest, miles of groomed snowmobile trails, and vast indoor dining and entertainment options that keep locals active all year long.
