A NOTE FROM OUR OWNERS

So, what does it take for us to run Gaslight Group Properties and Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan? One word sums it up. Commitment. Commitment to our clients is first and foremost; without that, there is no GGP or VPNM. But the job takes more than that, first, we have personal standards that we hold ourselves to, both as a company and as the collective of 24 individuals who make up our two boutique firms with offices in Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Mackinac Island. Having done this for as long as we have, we know who we want to be and who we don't want to be, and beyond our commitment to you, the Seller, the Buyer, the STR owner, or the STR tenant, we know we have to do more.

So, what is it that sets us apart? Just saying we are more committed doesn't cut it; those are just words. The truth is, as a group, we are committed not only to you and our families but also to our neighbors and our community as a whole, and that is where we make the difference. Amongst our group of talented salespeople and administrative staff, we are the people who volunteer to teach your kids to play soccer, baseball, sail, or ski. We keep it local and sponsor events that promote tourism, cultural/learning opportunities, and kids' activities. Those funds come directly from us and stay local; zero percent of our earnings go to a national brokerage out of the area that's trying to mass produce a system that was successful elsewhere and apply it to our unique market to satisfy shareholders' or CEO's. We are the people who go to City and Township meetings, run your neighborhood HOA's, and get inside information that will impact our towns, allowing us to give you, the client, insights into how these market conditions may positively or negatively impact your transactions or everyday life after your transaction is complete. We are committed to seeing our area grow, but in a smart way that keeps the vibe of our communities in line with what "Going Up North" is all about, while at the same time providing opportunities for newcomers and longtime residents to prosper.

In a world that is concerned that AI is coming for all of our jobs, we would be naive not to recognize that some of what we do could be automated, but AI can't cut trees out of your driveway when there is an ice storm to get you to the grocery store. AI can't introduce you to your neighbors or invite you to an event that you or your kids might enjoy, and it can't craft the perfect marketing campaign with real-life insights when we are the local experts who live and breathe this lifestyle. That's what we do, and we are committed to doing whatever it takes, which of course is exactly what it takes to run our companies. We want your business, give us a chance, we'll prove it to you.

680 N. LAKE SHORE DRIVE

Storybook log home set against the tunnel of trees with deeded access to unparalleled Lake Michigan sandy frontage just moments away on historic Lamkin Drive. For over 100 years, this marvel of craftsmanship has stood the test of time, and while it's been refitted with some modern conveniences, it still maintains the authentic nature one would expect from a home in this location and this era. The cabin sleeps 4 comfortably between the primary bedroom and the dreamy sleeping loft. From the fantastic stone fireplace that frames the incredible dining room to the highly efficient wood-burning stove, everything about this picturesque beauty is about returning to life's simpler things: family, food, heat, and quiet relaxation. This has been a much-loved year-round home for the last 25 years, but could also be used as a weekend getaway, a respite from the southern heat, or even as a vacation rental, as these owners occasionally did for a short list of lucky guests. Charm like this can’t be replicated, a location along the tunnel of trees can't be duplicated, and opportunities to purchase homes like this don't come around often. Some furnishings could be included in addition to the purchase price, minus a few owner exclusions. So, if you're looking for a place to write that novel you’ve always talked about, and even though you currently wouldn't be able to send it to your editor for notes, as there is no internet, then 680 N.

810 E. LAKE STREET

Among the classic homes of the previous century in the center of Downtown Petoskey's coveted Upper East Side is this newer construction luxury home spanning two city lots featuring a family-friendly floor plan that you can't find within the city limits. So, what sets 810 East Lake Street apart from its contemporaries? To start, it's 10 years old, not 110 years old, so the mechanicals, windows, insulation, and maintenance-free exterior are not an ongoing "older home" expenditure. Inside, the difference is large bedrooms, with walk-in closets, vaulted ceilings, a gourmet kitchen, and storage solutions that an older Victorian can't provide. There's not one, but two 2-car heated garages, one with an In-law suite/office above, which is difficult to achieve with the smaller lot sizes and strict zoning laws that Petoskey is known for. This one-of-a-kind family or retirement home has been meticulously crafted and maintained for a year-round or resort family living, but you don't have to get in the car to go anywhere; you can walk to the Winter Sports Park, or the 172 acres of hiking trails behind The Bay View Association, the waterfront, all schools, or Petoskey's famed Gaslight District. So, from the free-flowing main floor with multiple spaces for entertaining, to the lower-level gym, to the sauna, to the large primary suite with luxurious appointments and the kind of closet that you deserve, this home, in this neighborhood, can't be found in the city and is being offered by appointment for discerning purchasers who know a quality custom home when they see it.

Where Art Lives: Crooked Tree Arts Center Connects Northern Michigan Through Creativity

CELEBRATING OVER 50 YEARS OF ARTS AND COMMUNITY IN PETOSKEY AND TRAVERSE CITY

Founded in 1971, this nonprofit community arts organization brings together more than 35,000 visitors and residents annually through exhibitions, concerts, classes, fairs, and more.

At CTAC, the mission is simple yet powerful: to create ways for people to connect, learn, and grow through the arts. “Art builds community and we’re proud to contribute to Northern Michigan’s vibrant arts and cultural scene,” says Angela Morris, President of Crooked Tree Arts Center. “Whether you're here for a weekend or a lifetime, the experiences we offer — from gallery openings and summer camps to live music and plein air painting classes on the bay — spark those moments of connection.”

The Petoskey campus, just a short drive from Bay Harbor, Harbor Springs, and Walloon Lake, is a year-round destination featuring four galleries, a beautifully renovated theater, classrooms, culinary arts and pottery studios, and more. It’s also home to the CTAC School of Ballet, founded in 2003, which provides professional-level dance training to nearly 150 students annually. Its alumni now perform on national stages and pursue vibrant careers in the arts. “We’ve built a legacy of confidence, discipline, and expression,” says Heather Raue, Artistic Director of the CTAC School of Ballet. “The arts empower young people for a lifetime.”

In Traverse City, Crooked Tree Arts Center is celebrating a milestone: 10 years of creativity, connection, and community at its vibrant Sixth Street campus, just steps from downtown. What began in 2015 with a small footprint has grown into a 9,500-square-foot cultural anchor, offering year-round art classes, free exhibitions, and professional opportunities for

artists. In 2024 alone, CTAC—Traverse City sold over 700 works of art and paid more than $120,000 in commissions — a powerful reflection of its commitment to supporting the creative economy. From fewer than 100 students in its first year to more than 4,000 today, CTAC’s reach continues to grow. To mark the anniversary, the Arts Center is hosting special exhibitions, community celebrations, and a 10-month fundraising campaign to help secure its future. “We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished,” says Vice President Kristi Wodek, “and we’re just getting started.”

“ The arts empower young people for a lifetime. "

For those new to the area—or considering making Northern Michigan their home—CTAC offers an enriching way to engage with the community. Summer 2025 features highlights such as IMMERSED, an exhibition and related free public programming in Petoskey that explores the region’s freshwater ecosystems through art and science; the return of Paint Grand Traverse (June 14–21), a nationally recognized plein air painting event; and Dart for Art (July 9–10), CTAC’s premier summer fundraiser and social event held in downtown Bay Harbor.

Whether you're looking to enjoy a lunchtime concert in the park, enroll in a summer arts workshop, or explore an inspiring gallery on a quiet afternoon, Crooked Tree Arts Center offers a variety of experiences to make your time in Northern Michigan even more memorable.

Morel Mushroom Hunting

Written by: Jane Fisher

The sun has barely risen, but I know today is a good day. It is finally time to start my quest for the elusive morel mushroom. This hunt started as a child for me. I vividly recall my grandfather would come home with wonder bread bags filled with the mushrooms. He always said that he picked them, but as an adult, I am certain that he did not. But I can assure you that my grandma battered them and fried them up for us. Along with some green tomatoes that my grandpa grew in his back yard garden.

We started hunting as young kids in the back woods of my grandparents cottage. I would now call it cheap labor, as we loved to spend our days as kids in the back woods. My grandma would make my brother and sister and me a picnic lunch in our army style lunch box with a plastic canteen. We were never so cool. And out we would go!

As I grew older, the hunt continued. Every year I am out there hoping and hunting. Some years are amazing, others, not so much. I remember the year I was pregnant with my youngest, we found 18 pounds in the back woods of our home on Walloon Lake. Unfortunately, the smell of them did not sit well with my current situation. We had black garbage bags full. I dried most of them, it was amazing, and never happened again. And believe me, I look every year.

Since then, I typically find enough for a nice steak dinner, sometimes. But!! I will always be in the hunt. Once you taste these mushrooms, Spring takes on a whole new meaning. As the winter days wind up, I am looking for a great site. Sometimes it is a lucky spot, and other times it is a lovely walk in the woods.

MOREL SEASON DETAILS

Morel mushroom season in Northern Michigan typically begins in late April or early May and extends into mid-June, depending on the weather and specific location.

Mackinac Island Lilac Festival

Written by: Nancy McFadden

One of the most magical ways to welcome spring in Northern Michigan is by celebrating the Mackinac Island Lilac Festival. This beloved 10-day event has been a cherished tradition since 1949 and takes place every June, right as the island bursts into bloom. Some of the lilac plants here are over 150 years old, creating a breathtaking display of color and fragrance that fills the air.

Visitors can enjoy the festival at their own pace—whether walking, biking, or taking in the views from a horse-drawn carriage. The island’s no-car policy adds to the charm, making it feel like a step back in time. A favorite treat during the festival is a Lilac-infused latte from Lucky Bean Coffeehouse— perfect for sipping as you explore.

Throughout the celebration, there's something for everyone: garden tours, walking history talks, a charming parade, and live music fill the schedule. One highlight is the coronation of the Lilac Queen, a local tradition that adds a whimsical and heartfelt touch.

Surrounded by natural beauty, local pride, and the sweet scent of lilacs, the festival offers a truly unique way to experience the season and the spirit of Mackinac Island.

Visitors, locals, tourists, and international players alike-gather to enjoy top-tier competition in a relaxed, picnic-style setting. The 2025 season runs from July 5 through August 11. For schedules and updates, check the Bliss Polo Club Facebook page.

Howl at the Moon

Written by: Zac LeJeune

Howl at the Moon is, without a doubt, my absolute favorite event in all of northern Michigan. Hosted by Little Traverse Bay Humane Society at Walstrom Marine in Harbor Springs, it’s so much more than just a summer fundraiser—it’s a heartfelt celebration of second chances, community spirit, and the incredible work being done every day to care for animals in need. The evening is packed with amazing food from some of the area’s best chefs, exciting live and silent auctions filled with unique experiences and treasures, and, of course, the highlight for many of us: the adoptable animals who steal the show and remind us exactly why we’re there.

One of my favorite parts of the night is hearing the success stories—pets who were once abandoned or neglected, now thriving in loving homes thanks to the care and support of LTBHS. These stories bring the mission to life and show just how much of an impact this event truly has.

But the work is never done. LTBHS is always in need of support—whether it’s funding for medical treatments, supplies for daily care, or resources to help even more animals find homes. Howl at the Moon helps meet those needs, and every dollar raised makes a real difference.

Being part of this event is not only fun and uplifting—it’s also a meaningful way to give back and help create more happy endings for animals in need. I look forward to it all year long, and I truly believe it’s one of the most special nights in northern Michigan.

Harbor Springs Car Show

Harbor Springs Car Show

Written by: Sam DeCamp

As a teenager in Flint, Michigan, the birthplace of General Motors, in the 1970s, I couldn’t help but develop a taste for muscle cars. Flint was full of them: Chevelle, Camero, Corvette, Mustang, Barracuda, Charger, loud, powerful and fast. Moving to Harbor Springs in 1980 I grew to appreciate imports too: Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW regularly lined the streets. Summertime in Harbor Springs guarantees you will see the latest models from most brands. So, it is no surprise that the Harbor Springs Car show is one of my favorite events of the summer. The Harbor Springs Car show is special in the sense that anyone can bring their car to it, no matter what it is. No entry fee is charged, and no awards are given out. Each participant is given a plaque for that year’s show. The variety of cars extends from rat rods to one-off custom builds, extremely valuable collectables to race cars. You never know who is going to show up and what they are going to bring.

The show started by accident. In 2007, the Porsche 356 Club decided to hold an event at Boyne Highlands. They asked a local member, Dave Hinz, to arrange a time trial hill climb. The drivers’ meeting for the hill climb was held at Zorn Park at 5 pm the night before. When 84 Porsche 356s rolled through Harbor Springs, people noticed and showed up to check them out. In the weeks following, Dave was asked many times when the next show was. The following year, 2008, Dave sent an email to several car enthusiast friends suggesting that they meet at Zorn Park and show their cars; 85 showed up. It’s been going on ever since. The Harbor Springs Chamber of Commerce office has a display of Harbor Springs Car Show posters dating back to 2010.

The show is always on a Thursday in August. This year, 2025, it will be held on Thursday, August 14th, and will start at 5:30 pm at Zorn Park in Harbor Springs. The park and that part of Main Street can only hold just over 200 cars. Cars start to show around noon, announced by the deep throaty growl of a V8 or the high-pitched whine of a finely tuned exotic as they roll through town.

SEPTEMBER

Harbor Springs Festival of the Book

Written by: Anna DeCamp

2025 marks 10 years of the Harbor Springs Festival of the Book. The Festival is a 3 day event featuring well-known authors across all genres from kids’ books to cookbooks and everything in between.

In late 2014, while discussing ways to bring people to Harbor Springs in the off season, Harbor Light staff members, Kate Spaulding, Charles O’Neill, and Emily Meier, came up with the idea for a book festival. In partnership with Between the Covers, the local bookstore, “the Festival is a three-day celebration of readers, writers, books, and the literary craft” (hsfotb.org) and brings authors into local schools throughout the area.

Even though I grew up in Harbor Springs, 2024 HSFotB was my first year attending. Every panel I went to was wonderful and all very interesting, full of good energy and ideas. I appreciated that I didn’t need to have read the book in order to understand and enjoy the panels. I did end up buying an armload of new books that I was excited to read.

With downtown Harbor Springs as the venue, you constantly see other attendees and writers strolling the streets and enjoying this beautiful city. The cost is minimal, aside from the cookbook, luncheon, and keynote events. It is a unique experience that can be enjoyed by both locals and visitors. I highly recommend. Registration/ticket sales go live midJuly and sell out quickly. Hope to see you there in September!

Nub's Nob - End of the Season

Written by: Mike Bedells

Met with a mix of emotions, it’s Nubs last day of the season. Squeezing in the last few runs for the year, I am sorry to see the season end. No need to get there really early, the snow is still pretty firm. Head to the cafeteria and grab the famous sausage sandwich with egg and cheese, you won’t need to eat again today. After an extra cup of coffee, you ought to make some turns. After a bit, the snow starts to soften and the skiing is pretty good. By midafternoon, the snow is getting pretty mushy from the sun. That means one thing, it's time to head to the deck. You will find most of us there late afternoon, boots off, swapping stories, some true and some not so. The sun still sets early this time of year, and one by one, people will head out doing their goodbyes.

Another season in the books…

The spacious backyard is an ideal setting for yard games and creating memories on the lake. With 100 feet of waterfront, there is plenty of space to swim and play.
