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.
