We dined at the Bay View Inn with family and friends in August and then again in October. Everyone was very pleased with their dinners. On all accounts I give the experience my highest recommendation. Presentation of the food, taste and service. The chef in this restaurant knows exactly what he or she is doing and just the presentation of... More

My husband and I stayed there one night after our trip to Mackinac Island. Now we wished we would have stayed longer. This is a beautiful old house right off Little Traverse Bay. We had a suite on the road side. There was some traffic noise, but it didn't bother us at all. But a consideration if one is sensitive... More

This quaint, historic hotel has one of the best views in Petoskey. If you're looking for a place to have a cocktail and enjoy the view, this is a great option. The big wooden porch filled with wicker rockers is perfect for a lazy afternoon drinkie. This is a popular destination for weddings and other significant events. Definitely recommend. More

We had a beautifully decorated, quaint room with a view of Lake Michigan. The journals of past travelers were enjoyable to read. The staff was informative and friendly. We took a tour of... More

This inn has become my go to place when I need a breather from the daily routines. The staff is friendly and efficient, there when you need them but not hovering. The... More

My husband's company brought us to the Bay View Inn. This was our first visit to Petoskey and Harbor Springs, MI. Now I know why so many people from the Chicago area have homes up North or just vacation in this area. If you are looking for a peaceful get-away, great shopping/dining, and plenty of outdoor recreation choices, this Inn... More

What a beautiful place, so quiet and serene. The staff was amazingly attentive. They couldn't do enough for you. Our room was beautiful, and incredibly clean. The view was outstanding. The porch was so nice to sit out on and enjoy the water view. More

Wife and I went to a wedding in Petoskey. I was reluctant to go to northern Michigan anyway and much less stay a "an Inn". I mean, come on, this is the 21st century!!!. I work in the computer field so I'm used to being bombarded with information overload. After scratching and clawing me to get there and getting into... More
