"Halfway between Petoskey and the Mighty Mac — and not far away from the Pellston airport — sits Douglas Lake and the aptly named Douglas Lake Bar and Steakhouse (aka “the DLB”). This rustic log restaurant features two fieldstone fireplaces, a lakeside patio, and an outdoor bar; and is beloved for its wedge salad and steak au poivre. Be sure to hit this woodland gem on a Sunday evening in July or August — when there’s a rotating lineup of live music." - Stacey Brugeman
