From the reviews
Stayed here Friday Feb 14-16th for granddaughter Wedding. The only problem we had was they expected us to shovel the snow. Didn't think we should have to do it. Otherwise it was nice home.We were at Crooked Tree.
Cottages were very clean and modern, they were right next to the water and the Inn & made for some amazing wedding pictures!
Getting married at Cottages at Bay Harbor
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
