When friends say they are going to Northern Michigan, it could mean a lot of places - all beautiful. Besides the great lakes (of which they have three) there are many smaller glacer created lates that are all over and many have their "camps" or summer homes here. These homes go from the spectacular "old time money" at Harbor Springs and Mackinac Island to the "new money" in Bay Harbor which has been created in recent years and also is spectacular. Bay View is a Chautaugua Community in Petoskey with turn of the century homes like what you see in Mounteagle. Petoskey itself has a delightful downtown area which remains vibrant and walking is easy. Parks and flowers everywhere. There is so much you can do here, it is obvious why so many summer here. One or two weeks is not enough!
