WELCOME

TO THE SUMMER/FALL 2022 ISSUE OF RESIDE

Thank for you picking up this year’s publication of RESIDE. The world is constantly changing - the 2020 pandemic still affects the real estate market today, with a continued migration into resort areas like Northern Michigan from cities across America. This has created never before pricing on properties and never seen before action on how fast properties are going under contract.

We are seeing buyers eager for a change in their lifestyle opting for a more resort-style of living with fresh air, fresh water, open spaces, and larger plats of land. Technology is a top reason many families are able to pursue this lifestyle, allowing many of today’s workforce to work remotely.

We as trusted real estate agents have also adapted to a very fast paced market. As a buyer broker representative, we are doing more video showings with mobile devices, drafting contracts that help buyers secure contracts rather than lose them and moving quickly for our clients when a property does hit the market. As listing agents, we are guiding sellers to properly price their homes, navigating multiple offers and in some cases managing bidding wars, noting your highest offer may not be your best offer - your best offer is the one that gets you to the closing table.

If you’re in the market to purchase, or looking to sell your current home or land and you’re not using a trusted real estate agent, you should. At Harbor Sotheby’s International Realty we have a talented team that’s here to assist you. We have the experience and the resources to help make your real estate transaction seamless and perform with the highest standard of practices.

The real estate market will always be changing as we have seen over the decades. Choosing to work with a Harbor Sotheby’s International Realty agent who understands the trends puts you ahead of the curve. In an ever changing world, the only constant is that Northern Michigan is a very special place to raise a family and live your best life.

Jeff Patton, Associate Broker Jeff Patton is an Associate Broker with Harbor Sotheby’s International Realty with six years’ experience serving the northern Michigan real estate market. Jeff became interested in a career in real estate while serving as the pre-opening director of a 28 unit Senior Living Community in Petoskey.

Previous to moving to northern Michigan, Jeff held senior level positions in the hospitality and incentive travel industry, developing meetings and events for Fortune 500 companies. This experience allowed him to travel extensively while developing a customer focused approach to service.

Previously, as a longtime summer resident of Mackinac Island, including a role as GM of the Mackinac Island Yacht Club some 30 years ago, Jeff is familiar with Northern Michigan’s resort communities and all they have to offer.

...OF THE EXCEPTIONAL Kristin McDonald, Associate Broker Kristin has been a staple in Harbor Springs real estate for 22 years. Her expertise in her hometown market is driven by her love for everything northern Michigan affords its residents. Kristin began her real estate career after enjoying a career path in the hospitality business. This path continues with her focus on customer service and accessibility to her clientele. Her strengths lie in connecting with her clients and their needs and staying focused on what is best for their current lifestyle. Kristin took her broker’s exam in 2016 and has the designation of Associate Broker with Harbor Sotheby’s International Realty.

Kristin was married in Cross Village in 1997 to her long-time partner, Jeff McDonald, who also grew up in Harbor Springs. They lived in Good Hart for nine years, before moving back into town after their two children, Jayden and Isabel were born. Isabel will be graduating this June from high school. Both children plan to work all summer, as well as helping mom and dad with the family’s new venture, building a new house! Kristin designed the house, with specific requirements in mind, and is overseeing the project. This has been a crazy time to build, but she was undeterred by the challenge. This project has been a great education for her and goes hand and hand with her love of real estate and remodeling. The family hopes to be moved into their new home by August or September of this year.

Kristin currently serves her community by chairing the Harbor Springs Zoning Board of Appeals. She has served on the board since 2010. She was also very active in the Harbor Springs Schools, especially when her children were younger. She ran both children’s 8th grade fundraiser for their trips to Chicago two years running, breaking school records in fundraising.

Kristin and Jeff had a lifelong dream of owning a business property on Main Street in Harbor Springs, and they purchased a small building for Jeff’s massage therapy studio in 2014. The building was an open floor plan, and with Kristin’s design sense, they were able to reimagine the space to incorporate two massage rooms and sitting area. The space has given Jeff the perfect relaxed atmosphere to hone his craft.

Summers find Kristin, Jeff and their dog, Nala, at one of the local beaches, taking in the sunsets. In the winter months, they enjoy spending time outdoors, skiing and walking Nala. Kristin is forever grateful for being raised in one of the most beautiful towns in the Midwest. She has never lost sight of just how special it is to live near the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan.

You can contact Kristin at 231 838 4108 or email kristin@harborsir.com. harborsir.com | 7

Bay Harbor: The Boom is Back

In the last few years, northern Michigan has definitely been a “hot spot” with people wanting a little piece of paradise in this very special corner of the world. They may be escaping the hustle and bustle of the city, or the hot and humid summers of the south, but there has been a true influx of people wanting to plant some roots in our local resort towns. Bay Harbor is no exception. The community which began just 28 short years ago with a “big boom” is definitely booming once again with expansion and build jobs going non-stop in Bay Harbor.

Currently, there are 18 new home projects under construction, four significant remodels and 12 vacant lots with construction projects planned in the near future. The Ridge, our newest neighborhood near the Village now has two completed homes, and two that are currently under construction. Six homesites are available to purchase. Both Phase I and Phase II of The Bay Harbor Collectibles have completely sold out. Many of the Village Beach homesites that were on the market for quite a few years, have sold and have home projects planned for this year and next. The Bay Harbor Equestrian Center has also sold and is being developed as a distillery and venue space from a local craft spirits producer and renamed Gypsy Farms, which is scheduled to open in the Summer of 2022. The Bay Harbor Yacht Club has completed an expansive $13.5 million project to renovate and refurbish their facilities, amenities, and services. The Club now features a contemporary modern design, enhancing the already magnificent setting. The new Wellness Center offers integrated wellness programming and over 7,500 square feet of integrated fitness space, while the stunning and serene Relaxation Spa ensures that members always have a tranquil space to relax and unwind. The new Aquatics Center offers swimming space for kids, families and adults. Ample deck seating to ensure everyone has a place to relax by the pool and the children’s splashpad and heated whirlpool guarantee water recreation for everyone, and the Club’s world-class dining venues have been expanded and redesigned.

The Village at Bay Harbor is completely full and ready for a fabulous season ahead. There is excitement building for our newest tenants who joined in 2021 and 2022, and have brought new life to the downtown. Maple + Batter opened their doors in July of 2021, after a major renovation to the prior Original Pancake House space. Some people may have been skeptical at first, but the new owners envisioned bringing a fresh new look to a staple location nestled in the heart of downtown and they most definitely succeeded.

Their passion for outstanding service and a delightful experience, as well as a great chef offering up breakfast and brunch specialties, all makes for the perfect combination.

The Bay Harbor Community congratulates David V. Johnson, on receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award from the prestigious Michigan Urban Land Institute.

SIP opened in late summer 2021. It is both a wine shop and wine bar specializing in rare and often sought after exceptional wines from both the Old and New World.

Their wine bar features many connoisseur wines and champagnes that you can purchase by the glass or bottle.

A wonderful new place to enjoy wine both indoor and their lovely outdoor space.

NOMAD opened in May of 2022, with new owners and a fresh new look and to many rave reviews! Located on the waterfront in Bay Harbor, NOMAD. offers a vibrant atmosphere that pairs well with its sharable plates, evolving wine list, and house cocktails. Their secret weapon is also a pastry chef who offers up hand-made Sorbet and sweet desserts.

Rebeccas Fashions has moved across from their prior location and doubled their space. They have completely renovated the new store with fresh paint and flooring, and will have a great collection of clothing and accessories for their new store opening this summer. Rebecca and Mike Lapidus, the owners of Rebeccas also took over their old space in the Village and will be opening Mens on Main, summer of 2022 which specializes in men’s clothing and accessories. To top it off, they will also be opening a shoes, specialties and gift store in the Village, which was once the Lifestyle Gallery for Harbor Sotheby’s International Realty, whose office is now exclusively in the Bay Harbor Building.

An accomplished leader and true visionary, David V. Johnson as Chairman of Bay Harbor Company created Bay Harbor (initially with CMS Energy before their exit nearly 20 years ago) to be a unique destination unlike anywhere else in the world; a legacy for families to enjoy for a lifetime. It was one of the largest land reclamation projects in North America. His commitment to building in harmony with nature and creating unique, beautiful developments has made him a distinguished and recognized leader in the industry. The award was given in front of an audience of family, friends and colleagues at the MGM Grand Detroit Hotel on May 3, 2022.

The purpose of the Lifetime Achievement Award is to celebrate and honor individuals who have made a positive impact on the vibrancy and quality of life in Michigan through the use of the land. The award also gives ULI Michigan, whose memberships include the state’s most prominent and recognized real estate developers and professionals, the opportunity to recognize colleagues who have contributed greatly to the local real estate community.

All of our new and returning merchants are very excited about the 2022 season. There is a new vibrancy, and a fresh feeling that it’s going to be one of the best years on record.

Bay Harbor Lake Marina Expansion

Bay Harbor Village Suites and Vacation Rentals In January 2021, the hotel rebranded to Village Suites Bay Harbor. The changes were reflective of what the vision was for both the Lodge and Maritime buildings; to provide condo-style suites located above the brick-paved streets in the Village for extended stays in the resort community.

The suites and penthouses continue to encourage week-long or extended stays as well. Village Suites is not a “traditional” hotel, but more of a condo-style rental and vacation experience.

Each 1, 2 or 3 bedroom suite is unique in its decor, but all include well-equipped kitchens, living areas with fireplaces and private balconies offering a lake or village view.

The Conference Center was also rebranded with the name Elevation after a renovation in the fall of 2021. It is a great place for groups and conferences, and will be complete with a coffee station for guests of the suites, as well as the hosted groups.

Bay Harbor Company is excited to announce a dock expansion at the Bay Harbor Lake Marina, scheduled to be in operation in June of 2022. This is the first change in 26 years that the marina has been operating.

The expansion will be on Pier B, adding 35 new slips that range from 40’ to 120’, and are currently available for reservations, however the seasonal dockage is going fast. There is quite a demand in the boating industry for seasonal slips, and Bay Harbor has the luxury of having a protected harbor that leads directly into Little Traverse Bay. The marina only offers floating docks, that greatly accommodate the ever-changing water levels in Little Traverse Bay and Bay Harbor Lake.

Bay Harbor Vacation Rentals has charming homes in their rental “There are more seasonal boaters than any time in our history”, and we program that are perfect for your next vacation. The homes have 40 brand new boat owners who will be here to experience all that in Village Beach are a wonderful choice for families who need Bay Harbor has to offer”, says Harbormaster Martin Leemaster. spacious accommodations and the ease of being within walking distance to the downtown Village shops and restaurants. The The boating industry is also thriving, with boat sales through the roof and business has also expanded to the surrounding resort areas, the inventory low, and the wait lists for boats high. Bay Harbor is thrilled including adding a 30 day rental opportunity in a charming bay about the expansion, and ready to accommodate both the seasonal and cottage in Harbor Springs, and another monthly rental on the transient boaters with great customer service and amenities. shores of Lake Michigan in Charlevoix.

The In-Water Boat Show, held over Father’s Day Weekend in June and hosted by Bay Harbor Lake Marina is celebrating its 20th year, with a wonderful group of both in-water and on-land exhibitors. The boats in the water will be located on the new Pier B expansion, which will give patrons of the show a close view of the new docks and the beautiful views out on Bay Harbor Lake.

They have also recently acquired a fabulous 8 bedroom, 8.5 bath penthouse, that expands the entire 4th floor of the Lodge Building overlooking Bay Harbor Lake and Lake Michigan.

This showcase property is perfect for Five Star family retreats, corporate meetings, opulent wedding stays, Girls Getaway weekends or for a luxury golf stay.

inally three years after the pandemic, we are appreciating our homes, family and friends in a whole new light. RESILIENCE has become a key word and patience a new needed personality trait. Households have become more united and our home surroundings have become a safe haven and a reflection of who we are. 2022 interior design trends serve as a metaphor of bringing us back to our roots.

So What Has Been Inspired Through It All...

1. Kitchens: We have used our kitchens more than ever, they are the heart of the home. They have always been the most popular room in the house and the center hub for gatherings. Make a BOLD statement. Step out of the “White” box.

Have Fun with your kitchen and let your personality shine through by incorporating colored cabinets or using pops of colored accents and dish ware.

2. Color: Color, color, color! We are celebrating color! The color palette is warming up and dramatic. Earth tones that mimic autumn leaves and purple sunsets, create a welcoming, unique and more custom feeling. Think rich chocolate browns, burnt sienna, rusts, citrine, pomegranate and warmer blue tones. Green is a Beautiful relaxing accent, as we look to bring the outdoors in. Plants, trees, wood accents, beams, organic stone and clay materials act as an anchor to balance the silhouette of colors.

3. Lighting: Not just for function anymore. Lighting acts as art, and sculptural lighting that is unique adds an architectural flare. Lighting designs may span across a ceiling, be created in multiple clusters, or even come in the shapes of flowers or animals. Design elements of lighting, mix textures and finishes. These one of a kind pieces of art, add character and eccentricity to a space.

4. Wall Coverings and Window Treatments: Whether it be drapery, shades, or sheers, wallpaper, grasscloth or fabric, they play a key role in design. This is the jewelry of the home, it’s the difference between a home looking finished or like something is missing. Window treatments and wall coverings really make an impact.

It’s the Cherry on Top. Back in the 1920s- wallpaper was considered the ultimate status symbol. These details are an opportunity to make your home unique to you.

5. Curves: Spaces are being softened. Curved walls, arch ways and cabinets create an architectural element that is more peaceful and soothing to the eye. Furnishings are softening their lines with curved backs, rounded arms, and barrel seats.

The new look creates a fresh soft wavy feel. It evokes a feeling of comfort, like being wrapped in a Big Hug. 6. Peaceful Room: In the midst of chaos all around, at home spaces are becoming sacred. Emotional escape rooms are a new trend that is here to stay. Homes have become our sanctuaries and creating a peaceful retreat within our walls is essential. It may be the transformation of a not so used guest room or the empty space above the garage. Every home should have a quiet place where you can retreat and recharge. What type of peaceful room would you create? It can be anything from a little library or sitting/reading room, to a yoga meditation space. Maybe a bathroom is designed to be spa like or a closet is turned into a massage room. Having a space that you can take quiet time for yourself, is a healthy, needed powerful practice. This practice is not only for you, it also allows you to be more present for your family too.

Feeling safe and comfortable in our homes, finding joy in the everyday, and spending time with the ones you love….Priceless Inspire On,

The Endless Charm of

Harbor Springs

Photo courtesy of Petoskey Area

Harbor Springs has a rich history, dating back to over 100 years ago and began to be known as a summer destination in the 1870s.

Religious and business groups from around the Midwest traveled by passenger ship to Harbor Springs. The area became known as a recreational and health resort where socialites could escape the pollen, dust, and heat of the city. Boarding houses and hotels were built for the summer guests and the associations of Wequetonsing and Harbor Point were formed as resort communities.

The Little Traverse Bay provided easy access to the steamships and passengers who came from around the Midwest to Harbor Springs.

In 1882, the railroad arrived and guests could then come by ship or train. The Pointer boat ferried passengers to and from Harbor Springs to the summer resorts.

Ephraim Shay made his mark in Harbor Springs with his Hemlock Central, a narrow gauge railroad that hauled logs during the week and picnickers on the weekends to excursions at the lumber camps at Stutsmanville and Weimer’s Lake. By the 1920s, Harbor Springs was known as the “Naples of the North” and 11 hotels greeted summer guests.

Many of the buildings that hold a place in Harbor Springs’ history are still in use today such as the Depot, Holy Childhood Church, Ottawa Stadium, and the History Museum. The restored Pointer boat carries passengers around the harbor in the summer and departs from the dock behind the Pier Restaurant.

Visitors return year after year to this charming community to enjoy Harbor Springs just as visitors did more than 100 years ago. The same spectacular beauty and resort hospitality that have brought people here for generations continues today.

Situated on a beautiful natural, deep harbor, this tiny, beautiful community has a wonderful downtown business district with fabulous shopping and dining overlooking the water. Four seasons of outdoor fun offer amazing opportunities for families. Harbor Springs is waiting for you to visit.

Take a Drive through the Tunnel of Trees

The Sweetest Downtown Around Downtown Harbor Springs is a bustling little place during the summer and fall months, with so many treasures to find. Let’s just take a look at a few that are a part of the historical and timeless appeal of this spectacular town.

One of the more spectacular drives in Northern Michigan can be found in the famed “Tunnel of Trees” along M-119. It is ranked as one of the most scenic drives in the country, and for good reason. Dotted with charming homes, with steep, gorgeous views of Little Traverse Bay, as well as some must see stops along the way. Stop at Good Hart General Store, which was established in 1934 and grab something amazing from their array of baked goods and deli.

They also have souvenirs and wonderful little gifts. Make your way next door to Primitive Images Rustics, offering one-of-a-kind antique and rustic furniture, as well as creative goods such as hand-crafted wooden bears, hand-loomed rugs and beautifully made jewelry. A special touch is to make your way around back of the store to the Good Hart & Soul Tea Room which has a large selection of Green, Black, White and Oolong loose leaf & bagged teas, as well as Herbal Tisanes. Coffee, Iced Tea, Photo credit: Primitive Images FB page Lavendar Lemonade, Smoothies and Frozen Tea Lattes round out the selection. The owners say stopping here is like sitting in a “little piece of heaven, offering peace and serenity.” Drive a little further north and discover A Studio, opened seasonally (Memorial Weekend through October), a sweet boutique with home accessories and artsy gifts. Be sure to look for Good Hart Glassworks, just a couple miles down the road, just off the scenic drive. They offer educational demos and lessons in hot glass and fused glass, as well as sell their beautiful glasswork.

Take the time to turn onto Lamkin Drive, and find St. Ignatius Mission Church and Middle Village Park. The church was built in honor of St. Ignatius of Lyola.

A Native American burial ground sits next to the church. Also next to it is a pathway with an observation deck that leads to Middle Village Park, a great little beach for swimming that offers restroom facilities and boat access.

At the top of the tunnel of trees is the iconic Cross Village, a tiny community with a population of 93, but which flourishes with tourists in the summer and fall months. There you will find the infamous Legs Inn, a family-owned destination for 100 years, historic landmark and dining establishment.

The Smolak family offers housemade Polish cuisine, as well as a variety of American dishes including locallycaught Great Lakes Whitefish.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

Birchwood Construction Marks 50 Years of Luxury Craftsmanship

Started in 1972, a single home was built in Harbor Springs and a legacy of building excellence was born. Five decades later, Birchwood Construction Company (BCC) continues to be driven by the same guiding principles built around craftsmanship, community, and relationships.

Birchwood’s philosophy and commitment is simple: Founded in quality, grounded in family, and rooted in relationships.

Reflecting on 50 Years of Success Looking back over the past five decades, BCC grew with many impactful milestones, that shaped the company into what it is today: 1972 - Bill Cottrill, a land developer from Southern Michigan, created what is now Birchwood Construction to realize his vision of turning farmland rich in history into one of the most desirable residential/resort communities in the Midwest and what is known today as Birchwood Farms Golf & Country Club.

1989-1990 - Gary Morton, one of the best and most respected builders in Northern Michigan, joined the company and assumed ownership in 1989. Larry Beck, a business visionary who was instrumental in developing Blockbuster Video, Boston Market, Einstein Bagels, and more, joined the Birchwood Family a year later. The strength of their combined leadership with a focus on excellence expanded Birchwood Construction to be a top builder in both commercial and residential endeavors in Northwest Michigan.

Present day and beyond 2022 is a year of celebrations for Birchwood Construction. BCC has been honored to be entrusted to deliver superior craftsmanship and exceptional results while building everlasting relationships with the homeowners served in Northwest Michigan.

“I’m blessed to be surrounded by wonderful family and friends. For a relationship to be a true friendship there must be truth and understanding. When people walk through our door, I want to learn their story and share ours. Once that happens, a friendship naturally follows and it becomes easy to pick up on styles, concerns, and personal tastes that all can be reflected in the home we build,” Ken Provost, Chief Building Officer & Partner notes.

“The fun part is doing it better than they thought possible.”

1994 - The largest land reclamation project in North America began on July 12, 1994 with the demolition of the century old Penn-Dixie cement plant on the shore of Little Traverse Bay and transformed to what is now the world class luxury community of Bay Harbor.

Birchwood Construction Company was entrusted by one of the first residents to construct their unique residence with the quality and excellence representative of Bay Harbor. BCC continues that legacy today building and remodeling many of the magnificent homes throughout the Bay Harbor community.

1997 - For years, McCaffrey Painting & Decorating was directly associated with quality finishes throughout Northern Michigan. To ensure not only the quality of the construction, but also the quality of the finishing touch, McCaffrey Painting & Decorating was brought into the BCC Family as a perfect complement for delivering end-to-end highest caliber construction and finishes to homeowners.

2002 - Larry Beck continued to contribute and give back to the local community by helping to fill a need within the community, bringing a memory care center to Perry Farm Village. Birchwood Construction has continued to honor his legacy and completed work on the care center in 2022.

2008-2012 - This period marked another important milestone as Tom Adams joined the Birchwood Family as Chief Business Officer and Ken Provost joined as Chief Building Officer. Together, they became partners and owners in 2012. With vision and passion, they continued to build the legacy started 40 years earlier.

2018 - Birchwood Construction underwent a complete rebrand. Just like a home, a business needs to refresh and remodel. Birchwood’s logo was designed to represent their unwavering belief in family, building lifelong relationships and the finest homes anywhere.

Birchwood’s leadership team and in-house craftspeople also reveal what is at the core of their work: Relationships. The adage that it takes a family to make a house a home is apparent in Birchwood’s process. Spending time really getting to know the families it serves and sharing each other’s stories is a vital step to Birchwood Construction’s homebuilding process.

“50 years in business reminds me that we owe a huge debt of gratitude to all of those hard-working people that came before us,” Chief Business Officer and Partner Tom Adams notes. “We are confident that our commitment to the BCC Family will lead to 50 more years of success!”

Birchwood Construction Company is a tight-knit team of over 50 in-house craftspeople and talented individuals located in Harbor Springs. Since 1972, the company has provided custom home, remodel, and painting and decorating services across Northwest Michigan including Cross Village, Harbor Springs, Petoskey, Walloon Lake, Charlevoix, Bay Harbor, and Burt Lake.

arissa Flynn is a northern Michigan based formally trained fine artist specializing in oil painting and oil pastel renderings. With deep family roots in Cross Village and a studio in Charlevoix, she can be found plein air painting in the surrounding region as well as Mackinac Island.

Flynn was introduced to art at an early age through her family, but didn’t get the passion for art until high school.

Following high school, Flynn attended Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids and The Center for Creative Studies in Detroit where she studied in the disciplines of Graphic Design, Illustration, and Fine Art.

Summer Tour 2022: HARBOR SPRINGS FARMERS MARKET GUEST ARTIST 6/18, 7/19, 7/20, 8/17, 9/24 9-1pm

HARBOR SPRINGS 4th of JULY ART FAIR 7/4 - 9-4pm LELAND GAL POP-UP 8/1 4 - 7pm BACK LOT POP-UP Petoskey 6/12 - 12-3pm Charlevoix (TBD) PLACES YOU MIGHT SPOT LARISSA PAINTING: Inn at Bay Harbor The Landings Mackinac Island Cross Village Good Hart Torch Lake Charlevoix 52 | harborsir.com

Larissa grew up in the Detroit area, but Northern Michigan seemed to keep calling her name, because of summers spent at her grandfather’s A-frame cabin in Cross Village. In 2000 she, her husband and newborn daughter moved to Charlevoix, and that is where her art imitated life - and how she communicated through her paintings the lifestyle and charm of the beautiful area surrounding her at every turn.

Her fist love was drawing but painting has more or less found Flynn periodically throughout her creative career. Most recently painting has presented in the form of en plein air. Painting on location in the open air offers her the opportunity to connect with the outdoors and provides a little sense of adventure. Patrons and collectors often comment to a sense of nostalgia and good memories when they view her work. You may see her plein air painting around the region, and popping up in several locations, including some set dates that are part of the 2022 Summer Tour. (see sidebar)

F

lynn enjoys being present and capturing the scene in real time, and then occasionally going back to her studio to finalize the painting, which is located in downtown Charlevoix.

She has been invited to participate at the Grand Hotel Garden Show on Mackinac Island as a guest artist on multiple occasions. Locally her work can be found at the Inn at Bay Harbor, Three Pines Studio in Cross Village, The Landing on Lake Charlevoix and has had her work featured in Crooked Tree Arts Center in Petoskey and Fisher Guess Gallery in Naples, Florida and the newest fine art gallery on Mackinac Island, Pointe of View Gallery.

Larissa has operated a fine art gallery and full scale art fairs along with coordinating solo and group shows for many fine artists, but now is enjoying her time with having the freedom to share her love of the area with people from all over the country and beyond.

“Somehow, Larissa has managed to extract memories of great times with family and friends. Her pieces really capture the essence of Northern Michigan. “ - Bryan, Grosse Pointe, MI

You can also visit her studio by appointment only, located in downtown Charlevoix at 805 Bridge Street. Which is the street famous for all the petunias.

Local Treasure Bill’s Farm Market Bill’s Farm Market is located on East Mitchell Road in Petoskey. The McMaster’s great grandfather, who emigrated here from Germany, farmed for many years – a tradition that Bill, the owner, continues with, even today. Bill’s mom didn’t want him to follow his grandfathers and father’s occupation, but it was in his blood to continue in his family’s tradition. He so enjoyed agriculture and growing good healthy food that he began commercial farming in the 1970s, opening his doors on the farm in 1982.

Bill and his brother, Don, live in the family home where they were raised and from which the farm market operates. It traditionally opens around the second week of June, depending upon weather/ growing conditions and closes Christmas Eve. Over 20 varieties of flowers, 10 kinds of herbs and a variety of vegetables are continually rotated through 29 fields. At the peak of summer, Bill’s famous peaches-and-cream sweet corn, potatoes and tomatoes are available. The farm also offers local fresh honey from Sweet Blossom in Alanson and maple syrup from Far Hills LLC in Burt Lake.

Summer means flowers! Bill’s flowers are picked daily and are grown in many varieties. Bill is continually experimenting with new flower varieties, and from year-to-year you will find a variety of fresh flowers in bright colors sure to make anyone smile, including fresh picked bouquets to take home to that special person in your life. In addition to seasonal fresh flowers, Bill stocks a variety of dried flowers, such as Baby’s Breath, Globe Thistle, Larkspur, Statice and Yarrow.

As the days grow shorter, pumpkins and squash are at the farm, and when temperatures fall and snow starts falling, the farm becomes a romantic Currier & Ives postcard with Christmas trees and holiday wreaths.

Bill McMaster is a true staple and beloved person in the Petoskey community, and the market is a must-stop for anyone looking for fresh produce, flowers and so much more.

Rocking Horse Toy Company

Andy and Kathy Bultman were elementary school teachers in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1980 when their only daughter, Sara, was about to celebrate her first Christmas. Kathy wanted to give Sara a wooden rocking horse and searched high-and-low to find the perfect one. She couldn’t find what she wanted. So, Andy made it.

Before the internet, word spread of Sara’s wooden rocking horse and Andy’s wood-working skills. People started to place orders and the Rocking Horse Toy Company was born. Their first store was located in Glen Arbor, Michigan and now have locations in both downtown Petoskey and Harbor Springs.

For the Love of Lavender Lavender Hill’s story began when Linda Longworth and her husband, Roy, bought the farm land at auction in 2003 in an effort to preserve the rural landscape and keep it from falling into the hands of housing developers. Linda, who was a beekeeper, began to plant lavender near the hives, which naturally kept the bees healthy while also beautifying the landscape. The couple then bought 40 acres on Horton Bay Road and began their extensive research, traveling the world to study growing and maintaining lavender, as well as the hundreds of varieties of the plant. The farm grew, and people traveling down Horton Bay would stop and take photos when the fields were in full bloom in July. Linda then started producing hand-made goods from the harvest including dried flowers, baked goods, balms, lotions and lemonade.

In 2015, Bill and Erin Mansfield and Rita Robbins purchased the farm and started transforming it into an impressive agritourism destination. The 100-year-old barn is fully refurbished, complete with beautiful wood floors, restrooms and chandeliers. The barn is used for weddings, workshops, fitness classes, dining events and live music concerts that fill the events calendar across the entire season. Essential oil is distilled on-site in the Still House, Lavender bunches hang to dry in the Drying Shed, and products ranging from neck wraps to bug spray, and ice-cream to vodka are made with the lavender available for purchase on site.

Lavender Hill Farm now has 30 varieties of lavender among its 13,500 plants.

Guided golf cart tours are offered daily, and there are hundreds of ways to experience lavender at our farm and there is something for everyone.

This year at Lavender Hill, there is definitely something for everyone. Music lovers will enjoy the lineup for the Series at Lavender Hill Farm with music ranging from a brass band to an Abba Tribute band, all complemented with the Local Ground performances. Get creative at one of painting, floral design or glass workshops and learn something at a gardening, beekeeping, kombucha or astrology workshop. Indulge in a culinary dining experience like none other and take a tour with their entertaining guides. Bring the kids to dance, paint, and even earn a Girl Scout flower badge. Play bingo, take a fitness class, host an event, have a picnic, and spend time outdoors at the farm with loved ones this summer.

Owner and partner, Rita Robbins lives in the city, but loves to spend time in northern Michigan and enjoy the laid-back appeal of the farm. “Lavender Hill Farm is a dream come true for this city gal! I love nothing more than sharing our farm with visitors, singing along with our bands, and seeing happy brides and grooms. The beauty of the farm never fails to take my breath away.”

Visitors cannot miss our newest addition to the farm. Our new Farmhouse, which will contain a 1700 square foot Boutique, a new event space, employee areas, and additional storage is currently underway. This impressive new building will encourage our continued growth and be a beautiful structure for our guests to enjoy for years to come.

“I am so delighted that Lavender Hill Farm is growing and thriving. It is because visitors and our community have come to love our farm and know it is a special place for their families to gather, enjoy lavender, take classes, listen to live music and spend time together”, says owner Bill Mansfield.

And Lavender Hill is not slowing down. You can certainly plan a whole day there. A day on the farm might look a little something like this:

July 22, 2022: Arrive early and participate in the Yoga in Bloom class, followed by an educational Lavender Essential Oil Distillation Workshop and guided farm tour. After making your own oil explore the farm’s walking trails and labyrinth with your lavender ice cream and cut your own lavender bunch to take home. Shop treasures and gifts at the Farm Boutique before heading home to freshen up. With a picnic basket, and a bottle of our Melissa Sparkling Wine you purchased earlier, our farm ambassador will give you and your friends a ride to the barn. Welcome to the Series at Lavender Hill Farm, where out on the lawn, local musicians perform for you while you picnic, and then the venue is transformed into a true concert venue, where the Accidentals will keep you dancing at your seat for the rest of the evening.

This is how you can experience the farm in just one summer day.

A few of the Lavender Hill’s team’s favorite things: “I love so many of our products and use several on a regular basis, but I LOVE our Petoskey Stone Gin made by High Five Spirits and lavender from our farm. It transformed me into a gin drinker with its smooth taste and soft floral notes. If you haven’t tried it because “gin is not your thing” give it a try! “ - Jess Chmielewski Foaming Hand Soap: “I love the way it cleans, but it doesn’t dry out your hands.”

- Laurie Owen Deepwoods: “It’s all natural; effective at keeping bugs away and I don’t feel like I need a hazmat shower when using.”

- Karen Meads Hydrosol: “It is mysterious and works in unbelievable ways when it comes to healing.”

- Trisha Lockman Lavender Lemonade Fizz: “It’s refreshing after walking around the farm all day!”

- Ashley Nestell

If you want to help our bees you can leave your dandelions until June, plant native plants and flowers, provide a water source and, most importantly, limit your use of pesticides; including checking pesticide use of where you buy your plants.

Harbor Springs Chamber Board of Directors Jaycees / Petoskey Parade Committee GAP is a 12-week summer program where participants LIVE/ WORK/LEARN/IMPACT together. Those who came from other cities and states lived with Heidi and Bill. This decision alleviated the need for housing and brought many blessings to all nine of them! Much growth and learning happened right in the home! Many of the participants worked at the Inn at Bay Harbor and became an asset to the hotel during their time there. One day a week they attended a ‘Life and Leadership from a Biblical Worldview’ session where they learned and discussed important topics. The topics were: life-leadership fundamentals, how to honor and serve people, discipleship for long-term spiritual growth, optimal wellness-spirit/soul/ body, and how to impact the community for the good. One of their favorite lessons was ‘The Expectation Gap.’ The first year was powerful - full of purpose and promise! Bill and Heidi are running the Summer GAP program again this summer. Their vision is to develop partnerships with organizations and/or churches to be able to draw young people to this area summer after summer. They have a vision of the Summer GAP Program growing to 100 young people (and maybe more) coming to the area in the years ahead.
