With plenty of outdoor activities, an abundance of nearby hiking trails, plus a quaint small-town vibe (thanks to neighboring Petoskey), a trip to the Cottages at Bay Harbor is the perfect combination of relaxation and family fun. For day trips, guests are a 60- or 90-minute drive to two of Northern Michigan's most popular destinations, Traverse City and Mackinac Island.
Guests can choose from two- or three-bedroom lakeside cottages or a three-bedroom cottage that sits on the Crooked Tree Golf Club. All cottages come equipped with at least two full bathrooms, a full kitchen, washer and dryer, fireplace and a patio or balcony. With plenty of room to sprawl out, the cottages are also an ideal option for extended stays.
The resort itself sits directly on Little Traverse Bay and boasts a bevy of year-round and seasonal activities ranging from a full-service spa and daily tea time to multiple golf courses and yachting excursions. There's also a heated outdoor pool and hot tub. Come fall, we recommend a drive up nearby Highway 119, also known as The Tunnel of Trees, “one of the state’s most iconic attractions” (MyNorth.com).

The cottage was really dirty. We cleaned it and had a great time. But it was pretty gross when we got there.
Other Comments
The cottage was really dirty. Look like it hadn’t been vacuumed in a while. There was a vacuum there but it don’t work. Many broken things in cottage(fridge shelve-oven handle real lose). We had a wonderful Easter there but we had to do lots of cleaning to feel comfortable and sanitize a bit.
Also lots of cigarette butts all around. Pretty yucky!
We will be back and not complaining but just some info of things that need to improve. We had a lovely Easter with our fully vaccinated family!! Thank you so much!!!

The property was very nice, clean, amenities were great, however, the picture shown made it appear as though the property was on the water - it is not. It is about a mile walking distance from the Inn, which is where the water is. Didn't even have a water view. Disappointing in that respect only.

This was a great experience for hosting a family get together for my son’s 2nd birthday and keeping Covid-19 social distancing guidelines. We haven’t been able to see our family in over a year due to Covid-19 restrictions. The Cottages at Bay Harbor allowed family members to come up and stay in their own cottage to keep with social distancing guidelines. The outdoor patio space gave us space to interact safely while masked and the proximity to Boyne Resorts allowed the family to spend time snowboarding, skiing and snow tubing safely. The kitchens were great because we went grocery shopping and we’re able to cook meals for everyone to enjoy. We loved our stay so much that we’re planning to make it an annual family tradition! The kids also really enjoyed the outdoor hot tub and walking alongside Lake Michigan which was directly outside our lakeside cottage was a treat. Thank you Travelzoo for a great deal! This was the easiest birthday celebration to plan and this busy mom definitely enjoyed soaking in the large tub while her toddler spent time with his cousins outdoors.

We stayed at the Crooked Tree cottages for a long weekend. They offer plenty of space, a fas fireplace, and functional kitchen. They're a little bit worn out and could use a remodel but it was still very comfortable. We also enjoyed tea time at the Inn, along with free coffee at the cafe. The staff is excellent and provided consistently excellent service.

The Beds and pillows were great!but we found the Crooked tree cottage we rented was in need of some basic upkeep maintenance issues though. It Seemed a bit tired and neglected. Bad squeaks in floors the sliding doors didn’t shut so wind whistled through. We put a papertowel in it to stop the sound. The one Shower head was clogged and spraying out rather than down. The carpet and wood floors were approx 20 years old and needing to be replaced! It was spacious and worked for our family but could be improved aesthetically and with a few maintenance improvements.

We had a cottage at the golf course for an adult fall weekend get away. It was very nice. We would have liked access to the gas grill, however hotel staff stated it was not available for use (was on the back porch) by guests.
Other Comments
Would like it noted in confirmation or cottage description that gas grills are not for guest use (only owner use??). We were anticipating use of the grill, as it was identified in photos of the cottages.

We have stayed here multiple times as the cottages as great for families traveling with kids. Plenty of room to spread out and just enough of a kitchen to take care of breakfast each day and simple dinners if you do not want to go out at the end of the day.

1. ordered dinner from their restaurant, $40 -$50 meals each. Curbside pickup and a 5 minute drive back to the cottage. Both cold enough that they required a microwave zap.
2. Smoke alarm began chirping sporadically at 2 am. Called the front desk and there was no answer. Called again and was told that someone was heading over. The front desk guy showed up. Angry because he had to go and not the maintenance staff. Could not figure out what to do to stop it. Asked if he could simply unplug it. I was not comfortable with that. He replaced the battery and it appeared to fix it. He left and within minutes after his departing, it began chirping again. It was now 3am. Since the alarm was hard wired, I pulled the battery out and we could finally go to sleep.
3. the gas fireplace did not work upon our arrival. Called front desk and a maintenance guy came over. Within a few minutes, he had it running properly.
4. There was a large construction project going on right behind our unit during the day. Found out about that upon arrival. Suspect that was the reason for the great room rate.
5. Spoke to the manager about the issues and he was aware of the smoke detector issue however was surprised to hear that the maintenance staff had not returned the next morning to replace the battery.
He kindly offered to provide us with a $100 credit for the poor meal.
It seemed that from the time we arrived there was always something going wrong.
The bed mattress needs to be replaced in 621. A big dip in the center of the bed.
We weren't able to close the blinds on the top part of the window on the west side of the unit because there wasn't any. I mention this because we saw the next door person in the upper unit looking into our living room one evening. When they saw us look at them, they turned off the light.

Check in was easy, other than their computer system was down. The staff was very helpful. We ate in the dining room our first night, staff was great & food delicious! We were informed after the meal that because their system was down we’d have to pay cash. (I’m not sure how they would’ve handled it if we didn’t have cash). We loved Petosky & walked many miles on the trail by the cottages & in town. They have a really neat shopping area over by the marina.

We rented a 3 bedroom cottage, which was on the second floor of a large dwelling of 4 "cottages" on a street of many cottages. I'm sure the staff would have helped us with our luggage, if needed, but if stairs is an issue, make sure to ask for a 1st floor cottage. View of Little Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan from most windows. Gorgeous area of MI.
We brought breakfast items so enjoyed a leisurely AM which was GREAT!

We had 2 condos rented between two couples. Cottage 705 had a ping pong table so we want to rent that cottage again as that was a big plus. Only comment is that the dinning room furnituare needs to be replaced in both unitls. It is scratch up and the chairs are very wiggley and unstable. Also there is a hole in the wall behind the extra dinning room chair in unit 706 to the left of the fireplace that should be repaired. It could be a result of your unstable chair but hard to say. We just saw it while we were there.

Plows in the parking lot at 3am were not much better. I get you have to plow the snow but you can time it so it’s not waking your guests up all night long.

Beards was closed on Tuesday...but overall Bay Harbor was beautiful to see. Nightly s’mores were offered at a bonfire near the bay. The flowers and landscaping were awesome.
