The northwestern part of the lower peninsula is very much a resort area. There are people who make their homes there year round, but the small cities and towns subsist on tourism. I'd been to Traverse City before, but this was my first time going up a bit further to Charlevoix and Petoskey. Even though we just got home, I'm ready to go back!
You can see the lake from most places in both towns, and both town centers have the feel of the east coast of the US. There are pretty harbors, cozy little bookstores and coffee shops, lots of music and theatre throughout the summer, and a slew of great restaurants.
It's just over a three hour drive from where we live now, and I can't for the life of me figure out why we haven't been sooner!

Shout of from a fellow Michigander :) Your pictures are BEAUTIFUL! :)
Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing! I've never seen the Great Lakes outside of Grosse Point and Cleveland. I want to see the smaller communities, this area would be ideal. Ahhh...yet another pretty place on my "must see" list.
Wonderful photos! We vacationed near there last month. I'll post some photos on my blog. I love the whole area. Problem is that Michigan has so much shoreline, and so much to see and do, that it's difficult to leave the State!
