My grandparents helped run this place in the late 60s. Not sure if they knew the owners or what?? Are there any other pictures of the main lodge, bar/ballroom area. I have only slight memories of it. Another question, when did this close? Does anybody else remember the baby octopus preserved in the jar in the boathouse?
My father’s uncle, George Bowen owned Grandview heights in the 1930s and my father worked there every summer up until WWII. It is where my parents met in 1942. I would love to if there are more photos or stories of the resort.

George Edward Bowen was my great-grandfather, so we are distant cousins. 🙂 I have several pictures of Bowen’s Resort and of the relatives we share. Please let me know how I can contact you if you are still interested.

My Grandparents, My Dad and Uncles used to vacation on Big Pine Lake, this resort sounds familiar. Where on Big Pine Lake was this located?
