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.

Lakeside charm and convenience

Beautiful sunset views and nicely renovated accommodations. Easy parking and quick access to Petoskey and Charlevoix. Felt more like an inn than a hotel with its lakeside charm and convenience.

A couple of days in Petoskey

Room was clean, beds were comfortable. Grounds were well-kept. We enjoyed using the fire pit on a cool evening. Good location; thought it might be noisy being right on a busy road, but that was not the case. Only issue was a lot of peeling paint in the shower area; the fan cannot keep up with the moisture from the shower. Would stay here again .

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!!
