Our homes are that special place that we gather – making sweet memories with our families. The birthday parties, bringing the new puppy home, remodeling that 70’s kitchen – learning to ride a bike for the first time in the driveway. So many endless memories. A home is sacred. For those fortunate enough to live or have a second home in northern Michigan, there is nothing really better. We enjoy clean air, beautiful clear waters of our inland lakes and Grand Traverse Bay. The resort towns of Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Charlevoix, Boyne City and the Village at Walloon have a charm all their own. It’s a more laid back simple life, away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities. It’s an escape and a warm feeling to be “up north”.
Bay Harbor is a unique resort community set along five miles of Lake Michigan, featuring a charming Village with shops, restaurants, specialty services including a salon, Pilates studio, coffee house music venue and a Performing Arts Center. Above the shops and restaurants is a condo hotel with rooms, master suites and penthouses for a wonderful stay in the heart of Bay Harbor. Bay Harbor Lake Marina is a deep water protected harbor which is a fabulous place for a seasonal slip for your boat 30′ and up. Property owners in Bay Harbor enjoy spending time at the Yacht Club, playing a round of golf at the Bay Harbor Golf Club or driving through the community to see friends on their GEM cars. There is nothing else really like the Bay Harbor community unless you experience it for yourself. And you should.
For those wanting to venture even more “off the grid”, the Upper Peninsula has some amazing, remote areas in which you can create your very own piece of paradise. It’s certainly a way of life that hasn’t changed much in the last 50 years. Miles of untouched land and landscape, and tiny towns straight out of “Northern Exposure”. There is a simplicity to the Upper Peninsula and many treasures to discover and adventures to seek out.
