Hemingway spent the first twenty two summers of his life at the family cottage on Walloon Lake and came back from the war in 1919 to fish and heal, then spent a career turning these woods and the people of Horton Bay into the Nick Adams stories. The general store he wrote into fiction still operates, and Windemere is still owned by the family. Petoskey keeps a Hemingway society that argues happily about which trout stream is which.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
