For restaurants, things to do. We have a condo for the weekend, kind of a last minute thing. We go to Traverse City some years but have never been to this area.
We're not really winter sports/skiing people but then I think the season is over for that anyway. But even if they have snow machines, not our thing. But we're just looking to get away for a few days anyway. We're going to hit the waterpark but beyond that I have no idea.

Petoskey is one of my favorite places to go for a mini-vacation!
Our favorite place there is a downtown coffee/sandwich shop called Roast &Toast. You must go there!
We like shopping around in all the cute little shops downtown.
If you're into thrift stores they have several.
I won $1100 at the casino there in September, though I'm not much of a casino person. We always stay at the Apple Tree Inn and they have a complimentary limo service so we use it to go out to dinner and to the casino.
We always eat at least one meal at LaSenorita.
Might be too cold, but Petoskey State Park is pretty.
The "Tunnel of Trees" starting in Harbor Springs is a very beautiful scenic ride in any season. At the other end is a fantastic Polish restaurant called Legs Inn but it may not be open this time of year. The place is unique and the food is legendary. Along the tunnel there are a few neat stop, one being the tiny town of Good Heart where they have a neat country store. There's also a small antiques shop that serves lattes along the trail.
Petoskey also has a nice marina with a really cool clock. Nearby is a nice little museum too.
The Bay View area has all the fancy summer homes and we like to ride around up there and gawk.
Enjoy your visit. I love it there and have often thought about moving there. We live about two hours away so we go there several times a year just to spend the day or shop.

Thanks, great suggestions! I'll research those. We love looking at nice houses so we'll probably check out Bay View for sure!
