About Inn at Bay Harbor - A Renaissance Golf Resort
Set along five miles of shoreline on Lake Michigan's Little Traverse Bay, the Inn at Bay Harbor - A Renaissance Golf Resort offers a romantic and relaxed elegance. The inn's Victorian-style design and gracious hospitality recall turn-of-the-century inns of northern Michigan. Awarded accolades such as one of Travel + Leisure's "Top 500 World's Best Hotels," the property features an award-winning restaurant, a seasonal outdoor swimming pool overlooking Lake Michigan, 134 guest rooms and suites, and ample meeting and event venues. After hitting the links at one of the four championship golf courses on-site, guests can head to the full-service spa and salon. Nearly 20 miles of hiking and bike paths run adjacent to the property, and guests have access to nearby sailing and swimming in the summer and skiing and snowboarding in the winter.
