Petoskey, Michigan is one of my go-to places when I want to get away and feel like I’m in another world. It’s incredibly beautiful and laid back luxurious, both at the same time. No wonder it’s where the rich and famous like to hang out.

Here are some of the places that we love in Petoskey:

The Terrace Inn is a charming place to stay, with wonderful staff. We also noticed that they are paying close attention to protecting visitors during COVID-19, which is much appreciated. This 38 room vintage hotel is a little hard to find, located in the Bay View Association, but well worth the hunt. The wonderful 1911 restaurant makes the experience even more inviting.

Haystacks Women’s Apparel has tons of unique and cute clothes, with their own brand, so you can have stuff that you won’t see on everyone else! Their clothing is also affordable, which I love!

Thai Orchid Cuisine Take-Out guys, if you want something full of flavor, fresh and healthy, try this place! They use authentic Thai ingredients cooked in their 700 degree wok. Just writing about this makes me want to take the trip up there for dinner.

Jose’s Authentic Mexican Restaurant Mexican food is one of my favorites. This family-owned restaurant that features authentic family recipes will make you want to come back for more.

There are so many things to love about Petoskey, MI, we would love to hear from you about additional places you love there.

Boyne City Bakery
Boyne City Bakery has the most amazing French crêpes I’ve ever had. That’s saying a lot, my sister-in-law is a French native and often treats me to gourmet meals that include crêpes. This authentic French bakery features croissants, brioches, muffins, cookies, buckwheat crêpes, sweet crêpes, sandwiches, soups and quiches. Of course everything is freshly baked every day. They let me take a video while a crêpes was being made, can you tell that I’m seriously addicted to these?

The chef, Gildas Berrou was born and raised in Quimper, France. He was accepted at the prestigious trade group called the Compagnons at age 20, where he trained under the tutelage of some of France’s best bread chefs. Gildas and his wife Tara, a native northern Michigander, decided to move to the Boyne City area in 2012. Together, they’ve combined their love of making authentic Breton crêpes with their passion for growing organic fruits and vegetables. In addition to Boyne City Bakery, you can find them at Boyne City and Charlevoix farmer’s markets selling crêpes and croissants, as well as other farm products.

If you love great food and are anywhere near Boyne City, you owe it to yourself to visit Boyne City Bakery and try their delicious foods. The only downside is it’s going to be hard for a crepe from anywhere else to ever measure up again.
