    This is a very nice property right on the shore of Suttons Bay. Having our own beach was a real plus.

    My family had a great week of fun in the sun at this quaint cottage on the bay. The house has everything you need to play (kayaks, games, floats) and everything you need if you just want to relax (a beautiful beach, deck and fire pit). Thank you for letting us stay at your little slice of heaven!

    This cottage was perfect. Clean, well stocked kitchen. Close to town and activities. The back patio/ beach area was so nice and a perfect place to relax and enjoy lake activities.

    We spent 2 weeks at this charming cottage on Sutton’s Bay and loved every minute! When we weren’t lounging on the deck or enjoying the beach and lake- we were walking to town for shopping/dinner, playing pickleball on the public courts nearby, taking a bike tour through the local wineries or taking long walks on the TART trail. This cottage is close to all of it! It is very comfortable,clean and well stocked and the owner was a pleasure to deal with. We would definitely rent this cottage again!

    After a very long travel day, we were so happy to arrive at this wonderful cottage. The owners provided everything we needed for a relaxing week. It's really hard to describe how beautiful the location is on Suttons Bay...can't be beat!!! You can actually watch the sunrise and the sunset...gorgeous! We had the opportunity to explore the area (Northport, Leland, Glen Arbor, and Sleeping Bear Dunes) but mostly just wanted to hang out at the cottage to swim, kayak, and rest. Would love to come back some day.

    Windrush cottage was a perfect spot for our yearly family vacation. Close proximity to town, and a beautiful beach out front. Karin was responsive and easy to communicate with. We will be back next year!

    This is a magnificent property. It’s was perfect for us. It’s a 2 min drive into town where you will find a variety of good places to eat and shop. It’s also a comfortable walk into town as well. The location is perfect. The views from the house and the back deck are stunning. The owners are great. We had no issues whatsoever- we highly recommend this property.
