Beautiful, relaxing cottage

Date of Stay: 07/03/09 Review Submitted: 07/14/09

We just returned form a very relaxing week in a beautiful, CLEAN and well equipped cottage. This cottage was comfortable, clean, and in a great location to the town of Sutton's Bay. It is an easy walk to th marina, to the beach, to dinner and town. We've rented homes/cottages in many vacation towns across the US, and this was by far my favorite! Enjoy your stay,..

Owner response:Vacationing in Leelanau County is something everyone should experience at least once. We strive to provide a clean and comfortable home away from home so you can concentrate on your vacation.

My husband, myself and kids 12 and 10 years rented the last week of Aug. 2008. The cottage and beach were excellent. The cottage was clean and very well stocked with all the essentials. The beach was a walk across the street and we all loved the kayaks. I would love to go back again. Heather

Owner response:Thanks! We take pride in providing the best get-away experience possible. Hope to see you again in the future.

What a lovely cottage you have - a warm, inviting, comfortable place we have called "home" for two months. You also were a great neighbor and a helpful one at that! We hope to see you again, much more now that we are (again) residents of MI. We will remember to recommend your cottage to friends and family for a fabulous home-away-from-home. Best Regards - Buzz, Cindy (& Molly, too)

I came here with 6 friends (school friends) to the fact that we all turn 50 this year. Bay Dreams afforded us every luxury, the area afforded us great wine tasting, dining and shopping trip for each of us!
