Bay View, MI...
We spent several days in Michigan. Petoskey was our first stop. The town of Petoskey surrounds an older township called Bay View. It was founded as a religious resort community in 1875. As we walked around I realized that when I imagine small town America - this is what's in my head. Lovely Victorian houses, tall leafy trees, lawns that blend together, kids out playing, people on porches, and the most amazingly clean outdoor smells - amazing. Unfortunately we didn't actually get to stay here - but it was fun to visit.

what a beautiful place!
I just love the Bay View area. It is one of my favorite in the state. Soooooo picturesque! Now I wish I were headed north for a vacation this summer.
My sister lives in Charlevoix, MI and every time I visit I love looking at the houses. I think that the Bayview area of Petoskey is only open during the summer months. I believe that during the winter the streets are barricaded off and not plowed. All those houses are"cottages". I wish my house was a nice as one of those grand beauties.
