Charlevoix Inn & Suites SureStay Collection by Best Western

On a narrow neck of land between Lake Michigan and a pretty Round Harbor, the Charlevoix Inn & Suites SureStay Collection by Best Western makes a central base in Charlevoix, Michigan, on the Lake Michigan shore. The storybook stone mushroom houses of Earl Young line the streets nearby, the marina, drawbridge and beaches of the harbor fill the walkable downtown, and the ferry to remote Beaver Island leaves from the docks close by. A wedding-friendly setting and an easy location round out the stay, with dining and the waterfront close by. Boats fill the marina on the Round Harbor and the drawbridge lifts for the masts downtown, the beaches and lighthouse of Lake Michigan edge the town, and the shops, galleries and ice-cream parlors of Bridge Street line the walkable center nearby. The Petoskey-stone beaches and the ferry to wild Beaver Island draw summer crowds, and the fall color paints the hills along the shore. Petoskey's galleries and the dunes and orchards of the northern shore spread a short drive south.
