Updated Leelanau home nestled bt Suttons Bay & West Bay, 3 min walk to 2 beaches

Loved everything about the cottage! Fit our family of 4 adults perfectly. Quiet location on a side street in a beautiful neighborhood. House was spotless and had a well stocked kitchen. I would definitely return and stay longer.

Great stay....just what we needed. Very clean, great communication. Would recommend.

First time to area. House was well stocked and well maintained. Would not change a thing.

We had a great week at the Watercolor Cottage and would absolutely return – this was one of the cleanest rentals we've stayed in and was fully stocked with everything we needed. Liz was quick to respond to anything we needed and provided lots of helpful recommendations for the area. The cottage is on a quiet street and feels very private but an easy walk to the water or a quick drive (or bike ride) into Sutton's Bay. The kids loved painting with the watercolors, too!

The cottage was perfect for our family of four. Very clean with everything we could possibly need. The location is quiet and private but close to everything. The owners put so much thought into the details of this home, which we very much appreciated as it elevated our stay. We would love to return!

The Watercolor Cottage is so peaceful and relaxing, yet close to Suttons Bay and the many things Leelenau County has to offer. We spent days exploring the area and three of the five nights we were able to walk down to the beach and enjoy the northern lights!! The hosts are very communicative and friendly. Check it out!!

Loved the property, just wished there was another bedroom.

Our experience at Watercolor Cottage was fantastic! Cozy beds, clean & updated bathrooms, perfect location, and so many little thoughtful extras. My family enjoyed our stay so much, we will absolutely return next year. Kayaking, daily walks to the water, s’mores on the fire, we stayed busy while feeling unrushed & away from it all. Thank you for the excellent hospitality & for sharing your lovely cottage with us.☺️

Loved this cute cottage. It had everything we needed and the hosts were very responsive to our every need. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a quiet retreat where you can go to unwind and take a break near Lake Michigan, this is it! The location offers two waterfront experiences on either side of the bay which is just a couple minutes walk either way out the front door. One offers beautiful views and a rock shore while the other offers sand. The owner was very quick to respond both before and after our leave and was very easy to communicate with.

Liz and Chris were great hosts and have a wonderful cottage a short distance from lovely Sutton’s Bay. The close access to two beaches from the house were great for early morning paddles. The house was clean and well stocked. Only small downside was the limited number of windows with screens to be able to enjoy the fresh Up North air while inside. Overall - a great place to stay in a fantastic location.
