Suttons Bay, Michigan
This BayFront home is the perfect vacation destination. Located 10 miles North of Traverse City our southerly facing property sits on 250' feet of beachfront and 140 acres of private woodlands.
This 2 story Craftsman Style Home has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. There is real maple flooring throughout the downstairs along with custom stone work flooring and a well appointed kitchen.
The Home has plenty of windows and lots of breeze off the water. All beds have 'down filled pillow top' covers, cotton blankets and throws. 300 count, cotton sheets throughout. A well appointed separate laundry area is located downstairs. Plenty of high quality cotton linens and towels as well. Clean carpets cover all rooms on the second floor.
In the main house, the second story Master has its own bathroom, gas fire place and skylight over the shower. Toddlers can be kept close to Mom and Dad in this spacious room (a pack n play or a roll away bed easily fits in here).
A short stroll, down a private hall, and you arrive at the other two bedrooms. Bedroom one (1) faces the lake and has its own walkout balcony. Two new twin beds are situated on either side of the room with lots of windows and breeze in the summer -- on a windy night you will fall asleep listening to the waves breaking on the beach.
Bedroom two (2) is immediately across the hall and it has two cozy twin beds, which are built into the wall 'Craftsman Style.' This room has a large window that faces the woods. A perfect spot for young children or teenagers after a long day at the beach.
The downstairs has lots of windows, comfortable furniture and reading nooks. A new plasma TV and plenty of warm lighting compliment the living areas.
We have lots of board games and a ping pong table (always set up and waiting in the garage). Get ready for some family fun!
This was an awesome property for our girl's trip. We loved the beach and close proximity to our favorite wineries and golf courses. The home was spacious and clean. We enjoyed a fire each evening and had a blast playing ping pong. Kelly the property manager was so kind and helpful. We are excited to return!
This home is charming, and the property is stunning. We had a 3 and 1 year old with us, and the easy access to the gorgeous private beach was amazing. The home itself is very accommodating for lots of sleepers and has a great cabin feel. The hosts are incredible and we’re very communicative and accommodating to some unique requests. We recommend this home to anyone with little kids and really hope to come back next year!
As soon as we arrived Kelly was there to greet us and get us all set up. She was especially kind and helpful! Our party consisted of 4 adults (parents and grandparents) and 2 children (boys 8 & 11). The home was perfect for us! Incredibly clean, lots of towels, plenty of space and a fabulous beach! I was worried when I booked that crossing the street would be an issue as far as safety and inconvenience. I was so wrong. Very minimal traffic not an issue at all as far as safety for my kids and the distance from the house to the beach was a 30 second walk - very doable when you need drink refill :) We were shocked how far we could venture out into the water before it even hit our waists. The boys LOVED it!!!! Nice sandy bottom, crystal clear water- what more could you ask for?!? The fire pit was the cherry on top. Many nights of smores, wine and cheese, and storytelling with lots of laughter! My husband was angry with me that I booked a home with no air conditioning but he even said that it was never a problem during our stay. They have lots of fans and the windows allow for a wonderful breeze. I still brought a few fans of my own to be safe (and keep my husband happy) but I really didn't need to. My boys spent so much time building sandcastles, playing in the water, snorkeling, riding their bikes and exploring that it left no time for electronics (if you have kids you understand how wonderful it is to get them off their devices) which made my heart sing!!!! Thank you so much for an absolutely unforgettable summer vacation!
The house is big and had plenty of room for us. No AC upstairs, but it was only hot 1 night. If you're tall watch out walking around, I hit my head a few times pretty hard on some low ceilings. The location of this house facing south toward Traverse City is maybe the best location on with peninsula. The lake is incredibly shallow here and you can walk out hundreds of feet. The wind was lower here then elsewhere too. Kelly manages the property and lives right next door and is very helpful.
This property was a great rental for a week enjoying the beauty of Michigan. The beach, just across the street, is perfect with lots of provided seating and shallow entry to the water. The house is well maintained and the owners are very responsive.
Wonderful comfy and cozy house! Kids loved the big table to play games on and they especially loved the beach :) so many things to do in the surrounding areas. Kelly and David were easy to work with! Thanks for everything! Tim and Rochelle
We had such a fabulous week at this house! The setting was beautiful and the layout of the house helped the 7 of us all feel spread out. We enjoyed games and meals at the big table and evenings sitting by the beach across the street. Some serious competition was had with the ping pong table in the garage. The location was so great for day trips. Kelly was so accommodating and communicative. You could not ask for a kinder welcome. We are counting the days until we can return!
This property afforded just the relaxing beach getaway we were looking for. My husband, sister in law, two daughters, and I enjoyed the beach every day. The long stretch of private beach with shallow water is just perfect for young kids. My 9 year old never wanted to leave. The ping pong table in the garage was also a hit. Kelly was fantastic to work with - couldn't have asked for more from a host. The lack of air conditioning upstairs was a challenge on a couple of nights, but windows and fans made for comfortable sleeping most of the time. The quirkiness of the house made for epic games of hide and seek for the girls. All in all, it had everything we needed for a great week, including a large dining room table for meals and games every night.
My family and I spent a week at this location. The beach is beautiful. Our girls loved playing in the sand building sand castles. The water is shallow for a long while which gave us great peace of mind while the girls played. The house is spacious with plenty of places to sleep. There is an air conditioning unit in the living room with the pull out couch and plenty of fans throughout the home. It really cooled down at night which made the upstairs bedrooms very comfortable. Kelly lives next door and was always available if we needed her. We had a horrible storm during our stay and she was great about communicating when the power would be back on. During our stay, we visited several wineries nearby (the view from Two K farms nearby is beautiful!), Traverse City and Old Mission. We had a lovely stay!
We arrived after about 7 inches of rainfall had washed out the beach which is just across the lightly traveled road. Kelly, one of the owners, and her husband had anticipated this and had brought in a pile of sand and rebuilt the whole thing the next day. This is the perfect example of how great it was to have one of the owners next door. They are unobtrusive but incredibly responsive to any request. We had 8 friends staying and used every bed plus a blow up mattress we brought and for which Kelly provided sheets. The kitchen is small but very well stocked with newer dishes, cutlery and cooking tools. We were lacking nothing and we cooked a lot! One of the bedrooms is open to the kitchen so if you are a light sleeper you might want to pick another one. The home is kind of quirky which can be charming, however, some in our group had a bit of a challenge with the steep stairway(s) leading to the second floor and the steep sloping ceiling in the master bedroom. The location is perfect- right off M22 so you don't have all that traffic but close to Sutton's Bay and other areas of the Leelanau. We found plenty of petoskey stones right on the cottage's beach which was also thoughtfully stocked with firewood for use in the fire ring, chairs, lounges and a hammock. As it's on the bay, you can kayak or paddle board. Plenty of parking in the driveway.
