About This Location

Bay View is a National Historic Landmark community adjacent to Petoskey along Little Traverse Bay, established in 1875 as a Methodist Episcopal camp meeting ground and preserving one of the finest collections of Victorian-era cottages in the United States, over 400 colorfully painted gingerbread houses clustered on shaded lanes above the lake. The Bay View Walking Tour along US-31 guides visitors through this remarkably intact 19th-century resort community where lectures, concerts, and programs continue the original Chautauqua tradition of education and culture in a natural setting. During peak summer season, Bay View hosts a packed schedule of performances and events open to the public.

Ask Iris

See it first. Go with confidence.

Hi, I'm Iris! Tell me what you're looking for: a place to preview (like "Park Library" or "a dentist office"), a specific city (like "Lansing, MI" or "Petoskey, MI"), or a how-to video (like "tying shoes" or "self-checkout"), and I'll find it for you.

Or browse all tours or the video library.
