adventures.fulfilled | vol. 3, part 4 | Bayview, MI

Hey y'all!! I'm getting close to the end of blogging about my summer adventures... just as the cool weather heads our way and we head full swing into autumn loveliness! One or two more "adventures.fulfilled" posts and this mini-series will be wrapped up! I hope it hasn't been a total bore for y'all... and if it was- well I won't be at all offended if you say so or simply skip these posts!
Happy Labor Day weekend!! xoxo

Bayview was the victorian Methodist community right next to us which we had access to as guests of our homeowners. Started back in 1875 as a Methodist camp meeting, it was quickly transformed from a summer tent city to a summer resort community full of charm and beauty. It is only open seasonly and home owners and their guests must close up and leave by a certain date in early fall.    

They offer classes of all kinds, kids camp and activities, a private beach and boating area, Vespers and concerts weekly, and many other events. Not  forgetting the gorgeous and relaxing grounds/campus!!

When concerts were held in the incredible auditorium, they would prop the windows open so that the music would waft all over campus!! loved that!

Thanks to our amazing homeowners for including us in so much and helping to make our visit so wonderful!

The Terrace Inn is located right in the heart of the Bayview community.

Trekkin' over the bridge to the concert hall!

Live music leading up to the concert!! It completed the ambiance of the campus!
