Welcome to The Watercolor Cottage! Located on peaceful Stony Point just 3 miles to the village of Suttons Bay, the WCC offers the tranquility of Leelanau County while being close to all the best activities. Inside the house, you'll appreciate quality furnishings, hardwood floors throughout, all new appliances, charming architectural details, two fully updated bathrooms, and two spacious and comfortable bedrooms (1 king, 1 queen plus bunks). Enjoy meals and together time in the open living/kitchen/dining area that centers the home, with multiple seating areas for dining, relaxing, and your favorite games. Provided for your comfort are white noise machines, room darkening blinds, all bedroom linens, bath and beach towels, a smart TV, Sonos speaker, and well appointed kitchen.
Location wise, the Watercolor Cottage is truly unique and offers something for everyone. Step out the front door and walk 3 minutes to the right (East) to find the Vic Steimel Waterfront Park, ideal for rock hunting and a cup of coffee as you catch the sunrise. It's also the perfect spot for morning, smooth water SUP rides. In the opposite direction out the front door, another easy 3 minute walk to the public sandy shore of Suttons Bay for an afternoon or evening swim. The Caribbean blue water and sunsets do not disappoint! We're happy to share a garage full of water floats, sand toys, kayaks and life preservers as well.
When you're ready to get out and explore, some of Leelanau County's best vineyards are within a 15 minute drive, not to mention 7 minutes to Hop Lot, 20 mins to Farm Club, and 25 mins into Traverse City. The nearby Village of Suttons Bay is a vibrant, creative community offering convenient and quality groceries at Hansen Foods, unique local shops, restaurants, bayside parks, a theater, bike and boat rental, trailheads, and much more. We'll be happy to provide recommendations to the best of what Leelanau County has to offer if you desire them.
The WCC is on a peaceful side road, with large yard space and mature trees perfect for hammock lounging. One hammock provided, bring more if you wish! The rear patio offers a large dining table, Weber grill, and outdoor lounge area. Facing west and with beautiful sunset views is the fire pit. Cornhole boards, croquet set, and other yard games can be found in the garage.

Wonderful house, great location, awesome neighborhood. Perfectly appointed house, very pretty astectic, great combination of quiet street with easy access to bars, restaurants, shops, and beaches. Hosts are well organized and very communicative. Highly recommend staying here!!
Decor and location are excellent. Well appointed. Owner is very responsive. Master bed is on the softer side. Overall we had a great experience.
We loved our stay at the Watercolor Cottage. It's newly remodeled and everything was so clean and new I almost felt bad using the pots & pans. The space is cozy, ideal for a single family. We liked that the location was a bit removed from the popular villages in Leelanau because it was quiet during a busy Fall weekend: biking into Sutton's Bay is very doable, but walking would be ambitious. Will definitely come back because we love this area. Liz was a great host and clearly thought about everything guests will need to have a good experience.
Wow! What a weekend, what a place! As soon as we walked in our jaws dropped…and my 9 year old said “whoa this place smells so good.” Not only did it smell good, but it’s so beautiful and cozy. The perfect place for our family of 4 to enjoy a long weekend. Every night we enjoyed walking the 5 minute walk to the beach (sand beach and rock beach) to see the sunset and spend hours looking for Petoskey rocks. The cottage is so close to everything so we were able to take little trips to Glen arbor, fishtown, traverse. But even enjoyed time cozying up at the cottage with a book. The beds were so comfy, we all got great sleep (my 4 year old said that she wishes her bed at home was that cozy lol). Our family needed a weekend away, and we’re so grateful to have had spent the weekend here. We’ll definitely be back!
We enjoyed a relaxing and cozy stay at waterfront cottage. Had everything needed, well stocked kitchen, beach stuff, and very clean. An excellent location where we enjoyed walking to the two beaches and a short drive into suttons bay.
Thank you to the hosts for providing this charming and pristine home enabling a relaxing and fun retreat! The decorating touches throughout were stunning and recognized! This is a great location to explore Suttons Bay and also superb for the day trips to Leland, Sleeping Bear Dunes, farmer markets and the wineries! I definitely will return and recommend this home.
