We receive your phone calls and emails, open your letters, and hear your comments. That's how we know a lot of you think the only thing better than a vacation is a "Bay-cation" at Mackinac Island's premiere bed and breakfast. We are pleased and proud that you have recommended Bay View to your family and friends, whom we've added to our own extended family. We thank you and will strive to continue to earn your endorsement.

Whether you are returning to Bay View for your second, third, or umpteenth getaway, or checking in for the first time, the "Welcome" mat stays rolled out and swept clean. Our dock porters are ready to retrieve your bags from the ferry and deliver them to our doors. Chef Rose Grant, a Bay View staple and legend, is preparing all your favorite dishes including those home made cookies for nibbling in the afternoon. The sunny porch awaits you and your book. Just a few steps down the dock are a sunset cruise and water sports on the Straits of Mackinac. Pedal on beautiful bike trails laced with wild flowers to historic landmarks, ride in a horse-drawn carriage, and browse the shops downtown. Mackinac Island remains timeless, as does Bay View Bed & Breakfast.

This year, we invite you to take a side trip and visit the newest addition to our family of hospitality destinations, Sarandipity. This extraordinary lakeshore home in the Upper Peninsula could be a refreshing alternative for your family reunion, company retreat, or similar gathering. Keep reading for more information about Sarandipity and Les Cheneaux Islands.

It's Bay-cation time! Here, you are always welcome!
