Petoskey stone hunting is a favorite guest activity on the beach, and water levels change with the season. THE AREA Seven Pines is centrally located between Charlevoix and Elk Rapids, two of the best small towns in Northern Michigan. Torch Lake is a five-minute drive. Short's Brewing Company in downtown Bellaire is a 20-minute ride and worth every minute. Within a short drive you'll find wineries, orchards, farm markets, and trails. Grass River Natural Area has beautiful boardwalk hikes out to the river. In winter, Shanty Creek and Schuss Mountain are close for skiing and snowboarding. In summer, the Torch Lake sandbar is the main event.
