The Petoskey Area is home to six waterfront resort communities centered around the city of Petoskey, a northern Michigan community located on the Little Traverse Bay. The region is best known for its inclusion in Ernest Hemingway's Nick Adams stories and is home to large deposits of Devonian Period deposits called the Petoskey Stone, which are the official state stone of Michigan. Petoskey's Gaslight Shopping District downtown hub is home to a wide variety of quaint stores and restaurants, including several local wineries and breweries. Nearby, the waterfront resort areas of Bay Harbor, Harbor Springs, Boyne City, Alanson, and Walloon Lake offer rental properties and opportunities for shoreline recreation.
