"Hands-down one of, if not our favorite place we have stayed. We loved the Inn at Bay Harbor...the resort was beautiful, immaculately maintained and was the perfect home-base for our family to explore northern Michigan. We loved watching our kids playing on the expansive yard along the shores of Lake Michigan. The pool, fire pits, hammocks and overall inviting feel of the iconic Inn is what we will remember the most...."
