Perfect location, super easy to walk to Suttons Bay and a close drive to everything.
We loved the area & would definitely return. The town is walking distance with such quaint little shops. We are always amazed by the beautiful blue waters. Our Mission Peninsula winery tour was great & we caught fresh salmon in Lake Michigan. The house is immaculate & better than the pictures. It had everything we needed.
The house was great! Very clean and well maintained. Just a short walk to the beach. Very enjoyable! Great for families.
We choose your property because of the close proximity to the Harvest ride in Suttons Bay. The place was awesome and we had a great time.
The size and layout of this property was perfect for our group - three adult sisters and Mom. The location was walking distance to grocery stores and downtown. There was plenty of storage space inside and outside - we had bikes and beach chairs. The kitchen was well outfitted and the laundry was very convenient. We were very comfortable during our week and I’d highly recommend this vacation house!
What a stroke of luck we had in getting this cottage! We booked very last minute and Lori was able to accommodate us the same day. The location was ideal, a beach at the end of the street, and a short walk to downtown. The cottage was impeccably clean and spacious, and amply stocked with necessities. The beds were comfortable and everyone slept great. Lori was quick to respond to messages and we are so glad we booked with her.
The house was EXACTLY what we were looking for! Everything you need to relax and enjoy Sutton's Bay, just bring your food, clothes and water toys. The accommodations were outstanding, so much more that other places I've stayed at. The town was close to the house; and a public beach in walking distance.
The property was exactly as described in terms of layout and location. It was one of the cleanest and most thoughtfully outfitted cottages we've ever stayed in. From the well-stocked kitchen (with necessities like soap, paper towel, coffee, s/p, etc) to the updated and pristine bathrooms (with hand soap, hair dryer, etc) we loved staying in this cottage. The town of Sutton's Bay is within easy walking and the small public beach on the way was perfect for launching our paddle boards and letting our dog swim. Lori was responsive when we had questions. Overall a great week with our four kids (and thanks for sending us sunny warm days!).
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was a great size for our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids) and the house was bigger than I expected. Check in was simple. Place was very clean and well-stocked. My only suggestion would be to remove the picture that describes private beach and kayaks and canoe as they are no longer available with the rental. We had not realized this and would have brought our canoe had we known. However there is a public beach within walking distance (about 10 minute walk) and another beach in town with rentals.
We loved this little cottage for a lot of reasons. The location is perfect, within walking distance to downtown Sutton’s Bay. Several nice restaurants and cute little shops to explore. There’s a small grocery store very close by where you can get all the essentials. The cottage itself is very cute and cozy and it was immaculately clean! The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare simple meals and I liked that there were a couple empty cabinets to store your extras. The outdoor grill was clean and in excellent working order, which isn’t always the case in rental properties. We had one very minor question and Lori responded right away. Traverse City is about 15-20 miles away and it’s a pretty drive so we were able to explore on a few different occasions. All in all it was a wonderful experience and we’re already planning our trip next year!
