Make your summer in Northern Michigan memorable.

Founded in 1875, Bay View is a historic summer community where education, recreation, performing arts, and worship come together. This national landmark is home to 444 charming Victorian cottages, two inns, and beautiful grounds filled with places to gather, play, and learn.

With concerts, events, programs, and more, there’s always something happening—and it’s all open to the public! Whether you’re here for a show, a class, a game of pickleball, or just to soak in the scenery, Bay View welcomes you to be part of the tradition.
