We loved this place! The room was beautiful with a wonderful jet tub, comfortable bed and big windows towards the lake. Would have been nice to have a cappuccino option at breakfast since the coffee was pretty weak. The table top Skittles game in the lounge was great. We would stay here again!

Rooms are gorgeous, large beds with comfortable bedding, fireplace and balconies. The staff is fantastic. While I was there inquired about the murder mystery dinner and she took me around to see all of the room choices so I could pick a special room for our 30th anniversary. Looking forward to my next stay

There were many positives for a stay at Bay View Inn. A charming independent inn was perfect for our ski weekend with easy access to the local ski venues and Petoskey for great dining options. We appreciated the filtered water for our water bottles along with hot chocolate after a day of skiing. Breakfast was great to start our day.

Very charming hotel built in 1886. So much more interesting than a big impersonal chain hotel. The staff was great and showed a real interest in us.

We just found the secret to feeling like you're part of the family - Bay View Inn Petoskey. This place is quaint, comfy, and sparkling clean with some serious hospitality. It's like staying at Grandma's house, minus the early bed time. And when it snows, the staff is like your own personal snow-clearing ninjas for your truck.
