Petoskey's historic shopping district, sloping down to a Little Traverse Bay beach, has ably entertained vacationers since they were arriving on lake steamers. Yet, it still manages to keep a creative, of-the-moment vibe. The store 52 Weekends livs up to its name with enough discoveries for a year—clothes and jewelry as well as fun serving pieces and decorations. A wide selection of books, including an exceptional regional section, packs two levels at McLean and Eakin Booksellers. And many a lake cottage has been furnished with stock from Cutler's.
