About the Village

The Draw of the Village

"Everyone found a host of activities to enjoy and we rekindled memories, made more, and enjoyed the Village shops and restaurants and had a thoroughly fantastic time that we still talk about. I bought a condo for myself there that my wife and two kids now enjoy in all four seasons and we continue to bring in various elements of the family for reunions and special events at Bay Harbor – Including our wedding! On top of that perhaps the biggest bonus has been the friends we’ve made during our stays at Bay Harbor.” William & Amy Mackay

The Bay Harbor Impact

"The most valuable segment of our economy in this region is the resort economy, and Bay Harbor has been the primary catalyst for growth in this critical sector; we are very fortunate to watch it continue to grow.” ~ Carlin Smith, President Petoskey Chamber of Commerce

About the Village and Bay Harbor

Overlooking the shores of Lake Michigan’s Little Traverse Bay in the northern tip of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula is a quaint resort area that is home to beautiful and charming towns such as Petoskey, Harbor Springs and Charlevoix.

Nestled in between the communities of Petoskey and Charlevoix is five miles of Lake Michigan shoreline of an economically successful master planned development which has become the one-of-a-kind Bay Harbor community.

The Village at Bay Harbor is the heartbeat of the community, featuring such public elements as a marina, public observation platform and walking trails. In fact, nearly one mile of Lake Michigan shoreline and 70 acres of prime land were donated as public parks by Bay Harbor Company and are connected by five miles of non-motorized public nature trails, providing permanent enjoyment for the residents and visitors of Bay Harbor and neighboring communities. It is this combination of a vibrant setting, beautiful scenery, and a diverse array of shops that has turned the Village into a site used frequently for amazing annual premier events, weddings and outdoor festivals.

The Village at Bay Harbor brings new electricity to the flourishing excitement of a day spent shopping, dining and enjoying all that Bay Harbor has to offer. Tasty eateries, unique boutiques and a hair studio and spa are a part of what keep the Village the perfect choice for gathering and entertainment.
