Summary:

Moonridge Cottage



The Space:

Delight yourself with lovely views and picture-perfect sunrises over West Grand Traverse Bay at this lovely, two-story home! This gorgeous home faces east and sits on a low bluff above the water. It's also located on a private drive just outside the village of Suttons Bay - it's a peaceful and secluded location for sure! Another perk of this location is that is a great area for touring on your bicycle, E-bike, or motorcycle,hiking in the Leelanau Conservancy Preserves. Moonridge Cottage is the last home on the road, with Cherry Orchards stretching over a mile to the north. Suttons Bay is four miles away and has a great sandy beach. Other wonderful attractions include Leelanau Sands Casino & Lodge (within eight miles), Traverse City (15 miles), Leland (within 14 miles), Northport (16.5 miles), Glen Arbor (within 28 miles), and Dune Climb (31.5 miles). There are dozens of wineries, cideries, Hop-Lot Brewery, and great dining within a short drive. Attend the Suttons Bay Art Festival, Vintage Boat show, Leland Wine Festival, Traverse City Film Festival, and National Cherry Festival. When it comes to outdoor living, this home has it all! From the porch, you can enjoy birds, swans, wood ducks, loons, and an occasional bald eagle. Turkeys frequent the yard as well. You can also hear the bell of the red buoy at the drop-off point, see boats cruise by, and gulls circle and dive for food on the water. Build a fire and sit around the firepit for some storytelling under the beautiful night sky. Kick your feet up and unwind in the sunny living room, complete with a leather couch that automatically reclines, a wood-burning fireplace, and a smart TV with streaming options, cable, and a DVD player with hundreds of DVDs for you to watch. The fully-equipped kitchen has all the essentials for you to whip up delicious homemade meals for the crew. Upstairs, there is a loft bedroom for additional sleeping space. Other amenities include an on-site washer/dryer and 2.4 and 5.0 GHz WiFi. THINGS TO KNOW Wood is provided Please note that while the views are stunning, there is no water access from this home.

    Please know you are close to 2k farms and black star wineries. Awesome wine! The house views are great and peaceful. I really enjoyed the peace and quiet on the dead end road. Hit all my points for R and R I needed to relax. I enjoyed a fire every night with kids. Thanks Vacasa!

    We stayed here for a long fall weekend, last weekend, October 18-21. First time for me staying in the area. Our stay was just what we needed, peaceful, restful, fun filled weekend. The cabin has all the necessities of home, very clean, had everything we needed. Beautiful view over looking the lake. Sitting out watching sunrises and sunsets was perfect. Located near lots of shops, hops, and wineries. Will definitely planned to come back this cabin!

    This property is an excellent value. Pics and description are accurate. We had a wonderful time with our kids and the yard made the location worth it all. We would come back.

    We arrived and first off the freaking 10 digit code was a pain to punch in in the pouring rain House is cute and a fabulous view and essentially apart from the icky water smell we had no complaints from the owner side When we arrived the garbage from previous renter was filling up the bins and had still not been collected when we left 5 days later and we had just forced ours in as best we could The coffee pot takes half an hour to fill when making coffee for all of us.. I suspect the water of the area is gumming up the pipes … we left it alone and just added time to breakfast every Day. Previous tenants had put dirty dishes and cutlery back in the cupboards which was not a pleasant discovery Ants were also present but given that we have a toddler who is crawling everywhere we declined the idea of poison traps. Overall we loved the house and its location but feel management needs to address issues like garbage removal a little better House serves a 5 but service earned 3 for lack of attention to details
