Petoskey, USA

The Meyer family is looking forward to another home exchange.  We have actually been involved with Intervac since 1988 and have had many, many successful exchanges. Recent exchange families have described northern MI and it's fresh water lakes as one of the best secrets in the world.  One exchange family returned to northern Michigan, having enjoyed it so much the first time.
          Our  home is in Petoskey.  Petoskey is located on  Lake Michigan, one of the 5 Great Lakes.  It is rated as a great resort city along with nearby Traverse City, MI.  It is also close to Mackinac Island, another popular summer location.   It is just off the shore of beautiful Little Traverse Bay.  
          Less than 1 km walk or bike  through a city park along the bay, gets you to the small city of Petoskey.  It has a great downtown, with shops, restaurants, pubs, art galleries, and a fine arts center with a variety of performances. Summer music festivals are a fun experience.  There are a variety of golf options available. A bike path travels along Lake Michigan with beautiful shoreline views.  The sand dunes and  sandy fresh water beaches are the best in the world.  The state park is a 5-10 minute bike ride or 2 minute drive away.

          For winter fun, there is a choice of ski resorts within a 10-20 minute drive to Nubs Knob, Boyne Highlands & Boyne Mountain. There is x-country skiing/snowshoeing just a short walk away and 2 ski shops right next door.   The skiing is as good as you'll find in the midwest.   The city of Petoskey also has a great winter park for sledding and skating as well as many other options for winter fun.
Michigan is a great year round place to visit!  Petoskey was included as # 6 in Smithsonian's top 20 small towns to visit in 2013.  https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/the-20-best-small-towns-to-visit-in-2013-1353277/#:~:text=The%2020%20Best%20Small%20Towns%20to%20Visit%20in,7.%20Fairfield%2C%20IA%20%28©%20Charles%20Stretch%20Ledford%29%20
