Contact our concierge or resort host for your guide to the best of activities and relaxation here at the Inn at Bay Harbor
What shouldn't I miss?
A bonfire by the shore, fireflies blinking in the early summer evening, a dinner at Sagamore's with a spectacular view of Little Traverse Bay. If you're a golfer, play the spectacular Bay Harbor courses where lush fairways offer spectacular lake vistas.
What should I wear?
Northern Michigan is a casual, active place, so dress comfortably for the many activities. We invite you to dress up for dinner or cocktails.
What should I bring?
Your camera, your journal, a good book. Maybe your golf clubs or in the winter your skis or snowboard equipment.
We'll provide a fluffy robe and slippers that you can use here, all the trail maps, sightseeing info, dining guides, shopping, and golf information you can use, and a spectacular, memorable setting for your vacation.
When should I come?
It's always wonderful up here, come as often as you can. But, you might want to check out the calendar of events to time your visit at a quiet time or during a special event! Also, you can sometimes find packages if you have a flexible travel schedule.
What can I set up in advance?
Our concierge or resort host can set up any golf lessons, tee times, ski lessons, spa services, or restaurant reservations you want in advance. However, we can accommodate same-day bookings for many activities.
