Hey y'all! We absolutely LOVED our time in Northern Michigan! If you missed the Podcast Episode we referenced in this video, you can find it here: rvtexasyall.com/podcast/episode-028 . Links to all of our tour guide Chris' projects are in the video description. See you next week for our Bucket List Birthday trip to Mackinac Island!
If you liked petoskey you gotta get up to the UP of MI too see the keewanaw penninsula and lake superior its insane... Pro tip from a lifelong Michigander. Also if you liked looking for petoskey stones get to the shore of superior and look for yooperlite.
Thank you for doing a wonderful job showcasing my home! You seem like just the type of people we enjoy to come and share the experience of our small community. The people here are kind and we care deeply for each other and our home. When you come take the time to talk to us, we want to know you and your story.
Just watched this again. We check in tomorrow and will be at Hearthside Grove Motorcoach Resort for 5 nights. Thank you for all this great local information. Hope to see ya’ll on the road again soon.
So glad you linked to this video from your third video... somehow I missed it! Beautiful area... we need to go see it ourselves now. Love the lighthouse and sunset near the end of the video too! Be seeing you!
Fellow Texan here. I lived/worked in Chicago from the mid 90´s to 2008. We used to love taking weekend breaks in Saugatuck, MI. We would leave work at lunch on Friday´s and make the easy 2-2.5 hour (depending on Chicago traffic) drive in both Summer and Winter. It looks similar to Petoskey.
We love Petoskey! We always go to East Park when we visit. The view overlooking Lake Michigan is beautiful. I don’t see a lot of it on videos of visitors to Petoskey. Maybe because it’s more south by the Bay Harbor Community and people don’t go that way? They stick to the Bayfront Park area? Glad you guys discovered Petoskey.
Thanks for this most interesting video of sighs in and around Petoskey. Beautiful Sunset. Will be tuning in next week for the Birthday video. Happy travels Y'all.
13:08 Jesperson's Restaurant was such a great little business. Their pies were just incredible!! Unfortunately it closed about 7 yrs ago. Kids apparently didn't want to take it over... Hopefully, you two made it to Harbor Springs (we're we live) and Cross Village.
Great review. I wish we would have known you were up here. You are a short hour from our house. You made some great food stops there. Maybe we can catch you on the next one.😇
@@rvamericayall Truly was a great overview of the town. We have lived here for over 35 years and you showed us a few new things we will have to check out. Thanks.
I spent some time as a kid in Northern Michigan....that entire area of NW Michigan is gorgeous with lots to see and do, especially if you like the outdoors, hiking, etc. If you want the big city, you have Traverse City, but then you have really nice smaller towns like Charlevoix, Petoskey and Harbor Springs right up 31.... Beautiful area, with lots of awesome views of the lake...kinda cold in the winter, though!
Great video, and great timing! I have been planning my upcoming road trip to Mackinac Island in September, and I will be driving through Petoskey. I'm sad that I won't be able to spend much time there because it sounds amazing, but I'm extremely limited on time for this trip, so much so that I will not be bringing my RV with me. So, I added some of your suggestions for another trip.
If they truly respected our history, they would not have given a white washed version of it in this video. No mention of the indigenous people who established this area far before the gaslight district was here. The city is named after an Anishnaabek Chief after all!
Loved the video and this resort!! This resort is top notch!!! And Michigan is perfect in the summer. We just left last week and wished we could have stayed longer. Looking forward to your next video
My hometown (and still here haha) ..so glad u got to be here when we had the nice weather ! I love that social media has brought more people here to see the beauty. I never understood or realized growing up just how lucky I was/am to look out my window and see the sunset over the water , live steps away from lake MI or 5 mins away from any number of beaches to choose from etc ..I'm so happy to share our special little town with you ❤🙏. Also cool to see all the places I'm at everyday🤗 City Park is literally 1 min.from my home ❤🙏🤗. Thanks for this!!!
I've been to Petoskey a couple times and stayed on the water at Magnus Park. I never saw any of the places you featured because I was hanging out by the water and Bear River! Now I have new places to seek out!
Looks great! That salad your husband had is fantastic. Was it a salad? Oh well, looks good. Gotta remember that rv park. I wonder if accept Super C's ? I thinking about that. 2025 is around the corner. Wolverine country. Have fun and be safe!!
A little fun fact about the brewery u went to here- my daughter's father owns a cattle farm and he gets all of his beer grain (unsure of the real terminology lol but that's what we call it) for the farm from there 😊..some happy cows 🤗
Well, if those stones are more coral and fossil, no wonder my tiny Petoskey stone turned into a fingernail size stone once I put it in the rock tumbler. lol. The resort looked beautiful.
@@rvamericayall i would have to agree after watching several other vlogs reviewing it and the food looks amazing and a view of the lake from the outdoor deck:). Thanks
@@rvamericayall I should’ve been more clear. What I meant was we are considering selling everything and full timing. Have you ever done a video on what it takes to full time? Type of rig you’d recommend, pluses and minuses etc?
You just have to have the right beer from the petoskey brewery because they used to give us all of their cans that were not up to par to sell when we would go pick up the beer grain..and I can't remember the name of it but I'm going to ask And let you guys know because there was one that was one of the best beers around! I know you would like that 1 But I know what you mean because I tried a couple from there before that were really too strong but I swear this one was always sold out because everybody loves it … I'll come back with the name eventually😊. Sorry to blow u up , I just think this is so cool bc we don't get a whole lot of recognition so it's really fun to see others in all of the places I have personal ties to ❤🙏

Thanks, such an incredible place for beauty & history!
Great video guys!
Thanks ☺️
That's some high cotton camp site right there.. 😍.. But the history locations are the best reason to visit any place..
Absolutely 💯
Great video on Northern Michigan. We are in Erie for a few days.
Cool, safe travels Bill! 😊
I love that you include breweries and wineries in your videos
Thanks, we love them as well!

We are coming back this Summer and plan on going to those places, thanks 😊
@@rvamericayall you'll love Leggs Inn Cross Village!
Looking forward to it! We were there before it opened for the season last time.
Sunsets are amazing there..the new club house is very nice! Honestly we new nothing about Ernest Hemingway… !!!
A lot of history there! Thanks
Great video of the Petosky area. As you mentioned in the video, I hope you get a chance to go back in peak season. The area is magical!
Thanks Rick, we really hope we get back during the season! 😊

Love that town. Really couldn't hear due to the background music, but great video!
Fair, thanks for watching!
Jose's is the BEST! omg I just love seeing this ❤🙏🤗
Yes it is!
Looks great! That salad your husband had is fantastic. Was it a salad? Oh well, looks good. Gotta remember that rv park. I wonder if accept Super C's ? I thinking about that. 2025 is around the corner. Wolverine country. Have fun and be safe!!
It was a wedge salad! It was great 👍🏻
My absolute favorite RV Park
We loved it as well! 🙌🏻
Wonderful video & info from my home state of MI💜🙏🏼🤗
Thanks 😊
We stayed in Petoskey for a week last summer at the Sun Outdoors RV resort. Very nice resort. Love Michigan and the UP. We go there almost every year.
😎
U 2 r just the cutest ❤
Thanks
I was watching #whatthehale$ on you tube. They were night hunting them with a black light (the stones). Some of them glowed.
That's cool
Do you have a home based?
Video coming soon on this topic!

Thanks Betty!
We are in Petoskey now! Glad we found your video! What are you using to do your recordings?
Most of the time we use our GoPro’s
You can get some cash for those Petoskey stones
We have them to a good friend that collects stones & she loved them! 😊
Do u prefer Jose’s mexican or Duffys burgers more if u had to choose one? We will be stopping at one this Thursday:)
I would say Dufffys because of the uniqueness of the place itself but food wise you can’t go wrong with either one!
@@rvamericayall i would have to agree after watching several other vlogs reviewing it and the food looks amazing and a view of the lake from the outdoor deck:). Thanks
We are considering doing this. Any tips or suggestions on Motorhome style, type or anything would be appreciated. Enjoy your videos.
For the resort it has to be a class A RV but you can go up there in any RV and stay at the KOA right down the street from Hearthside.
@@rvamericayall I should’ve been more clear. What I meant was we are considering selling everything and full timing. Have you ever done a video on what it takes to full time? Type of rig you’d recommend, pluses and minuses etc?
The clock down at the waterfront is finally fixed too hehe
Yeah!

No problem at all, let us know the name of the beer 🍺, thanks
Wedge salad had bacos instead of real bacon. 🚫
I don’t remember but it was still very yummy! 😋
Me again!😁. What great place to go fishing in Petoskey, Michigan? Ok I'm done. Bye guys!!
Thanks
My friend Lauren and her husband, Brett, own Mims 🤗🙏
Cool
