Bay View Terrace Inn

Countless winter packages are available as you step back in time at Bay View Terrace Inn in historic Bay View, just north of downtown Petoskey. This 37-room Victorian hotel looks much like it did when it first opened in 1911 with the addition of some modern amenities. The King Whirlpool suite is perfect for a snowy getaway, with its king-size bed, two-person Jacuzzi and fireplace. The two-night Winter Wonderland Package delivers an elegant dinner -- such as Lake Michigan planked whitefish, chicken Hemingway with dried Michigan cherries or flat iron steak with Merlot sauce -- followed by a romantic ride around the neighborhood in a horse-drawn sleigh. Take a ride of a different kind with the Dog Sledding Adventure Package, where guests get hands-on dogsled driving lessons and a trek through the village. Thrill-seekers will enjoy the Winter Rafting Adventure Package, with a guided rafting trip on the Sturgeon River and snowshoe or cross-country rentals for exploring the woods beyond the river.
