In the early seventies, while partner Robert Kowalewski remained in Grand Rapids, Howard Schelde moved north to manage their expanding operations in Petoskey and Traverse City. The stories of her haunting activities are legendary and Unsolved Mysteries, the popular television show of the 80's, featured a piece on the Inn and documented instances of Genevive's activities. Built in the 1880's as a family residence, Bowers Harbor Inn sits peacefully along Grand Traverse amidst majestic oaks and pines and is renowned for award-winning food, wine and atmosphere. Our menu ranges from fish in a bag, to rack of lamb, lobster tail, steaks, and seafood. We do parties from 15 to 120 inside.
Tents are available for larger functions.
