Things To Do
NOMAD.
Whether you're looking for a cocktail or nice dinner, this is our favorite in downtown Bay Harbor. Their sharable plates menu is always changing, but never disappoints. We love the buffalo chicken lollipops and their seasonal bao buns. The best part is - it's right on the waterfront!
Brandy's Harbortown
Located right in downtown Bay Harbor, a fun cocktail with live music is a must visit! Enjoy sipping while catching up with friends with a great view of the waterfront. As if it couldn't get any better, there are great bar food options as well. We love the good ole high noons and draft beer options.
Maple + Batter
Located on Main Street you'll find the best breakfast spot in town. Due to its incredible popularity, you can enjoy strolling through all the shops on Main Street while you wait for your table. Our favorites are the flap jacks and chorizo burrito!
Vintage Chophouse & Wine Bar
Want a nice meal, but don't feel like leaving the Inn? Check out Vintage for a quick drink or sit down bite. Our favorites are the french onion soup and a Michigan specialty dessert - The Hummer.
Bay Harbor Golf Club
Looking for something to do? Enjoy a round of golf with beautiful views at Bay Harbor Golf Club! This is one of our favorite activities to do in the summertime.
Mackinac Island
Need a day trip idea? Mackinac island is just a short ferry ride away. Stroll back in time to a place where horse drawn carriages are the preferred transportation, fudge is a major food group and the views are out of a fairytale. Enjoy exploring all the shops, riding bikes around the island, and learning about the island's history. We'd recommend starting your day with a bike ride around the island stopping to see Arch Rock, exploring the worlds longest front porch at The Grand Hotel, eating lunch at the Pink Pony, and grabbing some fudge at Murdick's for the ferry ride home. We love this sweet slice of heaven so much, we're mini mooning here!
Downtown Petoskey Shopping District
Just 4 miles from Bay Harbor, you can explore Downtown Petoskey. Guests can drive or take the ferry from downtown Bay Harbor. Have fun exploring the local shops, drinks and good eats. Our favorite shops include Threads, Craig Ryan and Cutlers. We love Chandler's A Restaurant for a great meal, The Back Lot Beer Garden for drinks and food trucks, and Julienne Tomatoes for a quick bite. If you'd like to take a trip down memory lane and dine where the happy couple shared their first meal together check out Duffys Garage and Grill!
