August 2012
From Holland, we had a 4.5-hour drive back up to Pellston to fly home. Since our flight wasn't until the afternoon (there are only two flights a day to anywhere from Pellston), we took the recommendation of one of my coworkers and stopped in Petoskey on the way. It made for a nice break from driving another chance to see the lake.

This is Pellston Regional Airport... all of it.

How many airports do you know that have a fireplace across from the Delta counter?

Even the baggage claim is quaint at Pellston Regional Airport
