About the host
Hosted by Barry Rickman

My parents purchased this cottage as a summer home based on the gorgeous setting and natural beauty of Northern Michigan and it's proximity to our primary residence in Indiana. My brother nad I now own it and hope to keep it in our family for generations to come.
Why they chose this property
Little Traverse Bay is absolutely stunning and Northern Michigan is heaven for communing with nature. There are literally 7 lakes for watersports and fishing in a 40-mile radius and 4 very good canoe/kayak rivers. Bay View is surrounded by woods and Petoskey, Charlevoix, Harbor Springs, Boyne Highlands, Boyne Mountain and Nubs Nob are a short drive. Beautiful dunes and beaches can be found close by at Petoskey State Park, Sturgeon Bay and Fisherman's Island State Park. There are many great golf courses including the three Donald Ross courses at Boyne Highlands and there are also many fine restaurants in the area. The ferries to Mackinac Island are less than an hour away.
What makes this property unique
Bay View is a historical register community that is very family-oriented. The summers in many other parts of the country are sweltering while Bay View is in the low 70's and sunny with low humidity. The setting is very pastoral and walking and biking is the norm. The cottage is beautiful and the oversized lot is very private. You will fall in love with the very large screened porch...the perfect place to have coffee in the morning, an evening drink or relax with friends and family. If the night air is a tad cool for you, the large wood-burning fireplace in the living room is just the ticket...the two suites with fireplaces will brighten your spirits as well. You won't be disappointed!!
