It was across the street from Lake Michigan and the 24 mile biking/walking trail and had an outdoor area with a fire pit. It was pricey but suited our needs.

I truly enjoyed my stay at The Bay Inn Petoskey! My room was clean upon arrival and the temperature was comfortable. The only thing I would say is I was not expecting an air freshener to be sticking out of the air conditioning unit. you cannot beat the view across from the bay!!

Cute motel

Cute little motel. It needs a little attention to details (heating coil cover), but certainly an acceptable place to stay.

Great cozy little older place. We liked it much better than the normal newer mega hotels that just feel cheap. Would definitely recommend if you want a cozy place with a great view of the bay. I enjoyed sitting on the porch drinking my tea (great tea selection) and taking in the nice views. Very relaxing.
