Check out our downtown area for some of the best shopping Northern Michigan has to offer!

Cassidy's favorites:

McLean and Eakin - the cutest bookstore in the world with the friendliest and most knowledgeable book sellers!

Threads - women's clothing boutique

Mettlers American Mercantile - Cassidy's go-to spot for jewelry and dresses! They have men's and women's clothing.

August - curated vintage goods

Cutler's - all things kitchen and hosting

Chris' favorites:

Symons General Store - stop for a sandwich or to stock up on local snacks and goods for the drive home.

North Perk Coffee - great coffee shop for a pick-me-up while Cassidy drags Chris from store to store!

Roast & Toast - Chris' favorite grab-and-go breakfast spot. He recommends the Lorraine breakfast burrito.

Craig Ryan Fine Clothing - Chris' one stop shop for his wedding wardrobe!

Chandler's is our favorite restaurant in Northern Michigan! If you are looking for fine dining with a cozy atmosphere, we highly recommend making a reservation here while you're in town. Chris recommends ordering the Paper Plane to drink and the Beef Tenderloin Tartare as a starter. Cassidy recommends the Negroni to drink and trying the famous Hummer for dessert!

Boyne Valley Vineyards is a beautiful local winery with a fun, relaxed atmosphere. They have live music from 4:00-7:30pm on Fridays, so stop by for a glass of wine before heading out for dinner or making your way to the Welcome Party!

Visit the Petoskey Breakwall for incredible sunset views, a walk along Lake Michigan, and hunt for Petoskey stones! We recommend getting dinner in downtown Petoskey, stopping for ice cream at American Spoon or Kilwins and taking it to the Breakwall to enjoy a Northern Michigan 'million dollar sunset'.

Book a sunset cruise on Lake Charlevoix into Lake Michigan on a catamaran sailboat for epic sunset views! This catamaran cruise is BYOB, so we recommend packing a cooler with supplies for charcuterie and a champagne toast.
