Welcome Home

There are some places that, once visited, remain in your mind’s eye – and in your heart – forever.

That’s the experience people have when they visit Bay Harbor. Perhaps it’s the natural beauty – the serene lake views of crystal-clear water, the lush woods or the star-filled sky.  It may be the residents’ friendly, welcoming approach or maybe just a perfect day spent doing what you love – with the people that you love.

World-Class

Luxury

Bay Harbor is a world-class luxury resort community that meanders along five miles of Little Traverse Bay on the shores of Lake Michigan. Over 30 unique neighborhoods feature upscale homes, boutique hotels, shopping and dining, a stunning deep-water marina, and championship golf courses with more freshwater frontage than any other course in North America. Bay Harbor is both a charming resort and a picturesque community. The area’s natural beauty, broad vistas of beautiful Lake Michigan and gently rolling topography create a peaceful haven away from the noise of everyday living.

Bay Harbor Yacht Club

At the center of the community, Bay Harbor Yacht Club, a Distinguished Emerald Award winner as one of the finest private clubs in the world, has served as the social center for boaters and non-boaters alike.

Bay Harbor Yacht Club has a calendar rich with exciting four-season events. Here, families and friends connect through a wide variety of boating, recreational activities and year-round programming.
