Nice overall, but…
Overall the place was pretty nice with a friendly staff & a nice view. Nice wood flooring throughout the cottage. However the floors were very sticky and slippery at the same time throughout the entire cottage… even the bathrooms. Was like whoever washed the floor just dumped the soap all over and didn’t bother to rinse it off. Shoes socks everything sticky and kinda gross. Could be dangerous as well because it was very slick in some areas where soap was so thick.
Also, the TV was on its last leg. Very small and the speakers were going. One minute there would be sound then it would be out on and off. The smaller cottages are far from hotel making it inconvenient to drive over to go use the amenities such as the fitness center.

The location is excellent. The cottages are well appointed. Rooms are small and cozy.
The kitchen needs better cutlery and the pans need replacement.

Thought the property needs updating. Windows did not open properly. Doors creaked. Based on neighboring hotel, Inn of Bay Harbor, I expected higher quality construction of these units.

I loved the cozy feel of the cottage. My kids also loved the ping pong table in the basement. The only thing I noticed is that the cottage could use some painting inside and outside.

Beautiful cottage and great golf course view even know it was winter. It’s very cozy and pretty big. 3 bedrooms, one master on the first floor and two upstairs. Nice bathrooms and a gas fireplace.

The cottages have great amenities and very comfortable. The rooms were not very clean and did not even appear to have been vacuumed. We found chips under the couch from a previous guest.

Very nice, but not worth the money for us.
The cottages are nice, ours was at the end of the small block so not really lakeside as listed or shown. Both Queen bedrooms small and not marriott mattresses, so the comfort was so so. The property is beautiful but it just wasn’t worth the money for the two bedroom “lakeside” Would instead go stay 15 minutes away at Boyne Mountain where plenty of multi bedroom beautiful rentals at much less money are available. (Or stay In the hotel on property instead, better value).

Checking into the hotel was just okay, we did not feel like we very welcomed at the front desk by the clerk. We asked for some recommendations as to places to eat and kind of a cold shoulder. We decided not to ask for anything during our visit.

Unbelievable bargain during off season
I can't believe we got this place for such a great price. We traveled in the fall, after peak color tour. The cottage overlooks the golf course with a view of Lake Michigan, beautiful. Three large bedrooms were clean and comfortable. It also has three complete bathrooms so there wasn't a long wait in the morning for showers. Everything is pretty modern except the showers where were a little dated but not horrible. The gas fireplace was perfect. It's just a short drive to town with lots of shopping and restaurants which for a girl's weekend was perfect. Things were starting to shut down for the season though; some shops and restaurants were closed. .

Beyond Expectations
Our expectations were high for our annual girls get together. Bay Harbor cottages exceeded our expections in every way rated. Bay Harbor Inn location and amenities provide a top value of any resort we have previouly used. Our cottage comfortably accommodated 5 women for 4 nights at a total cost of $60/night.
