Where you are

The Gaslight District, after dark

The Bell sits in downtown Petoskey, a block from Little Traverse Bay and a short walk from the shops, wine bars, and galleries of the Historic Gaslight District. The gas lamps come on at dusk, the bay goes gold, and the food-truck social is a few steps from the door.
