Location, location, location! This is the best house to walk/ride bikes to anything you want to see in Sutton Bay. 5 minute walk to the beach and it’s a beautiful beach! We spent 6 hours there one day and our kids could have stayed longer. Holly was great to work with and we really enjoyed the house. Highly recommend!

Great stay in Sutton’s Bay

Another great stay

This was our second consecutive summer stay at this great property and everything was just as delightful as before - such a comfortable place for us to host family and friends, and the owners are charming, kind, and were attentive to our questions and (one minor) concern. It's a sweet retreat!!

Well appointed VRBO in a quiet neighborhood, yet near the beach, restaurants and shopping. Close to several other northern Michigan attractions. This place has plenty of parking and a pleasant outdoor patio with lots of comfortable seating to watch the sunrise and listen to birds. Also, the artwork is beautiful. The house backs up to the best restaurant in town that plays nice music to listen to while lounging in the hammock on the patio. I sat in the grassy side yard at night and could see the Milky Way!There is a nice deep bathtub, though you have to straddle a foot wide “wall” with no grab bars to assist you while entering and exiting. Watch for the trip hazard into the kitchen, easy to miss. Overall, nice place to rent.

Fantastic location in a comfortable cottage

You can’t beat this location in Sutton’s Bay. A 3 minute walk to the beach and all the town has to offer. Property managers were very helpful. Only suggestion would be some cleanup and landscaping on the back deck. Not really currently usable in its current condition, but has great potential.

Red House Stay

Had a great stay at Holly and Jerome's property. Immaculately clean and very comfortable. Exactly as the pictures show. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out. Kitchen had everything you could want and then some. Beds were comfortable and central air kept the house cool and comfortable even with temps being 90 and humid. Location is close to everything and neighborhood is quiet. Lovely patio outback for gathering outside. Owners respond immediately to questions or if needed. Would definitely return.

Great location but lacks a few things

The location is amazing. It has old house charm which makes the layout a little choppy. The house was clean except the floors need a good mop. If you are planning on cooking, it’s not well equipped. - missing hot pads, dish towels, coffee filters, trash bags, large pot etc. Not a good rental for elderly guest- steep stairs and first floor bath has deep tub which is hard to enter to shower. We did enjoy our stay because of the location and checkout was super easy.

We just returned from an absolutely wonderful stay at this property in Suttons Bay and couldn't be more pleased with our experience. From the moment we arrived, we knew we had chosen the perfect place for our family getaway.The location was ideal - close enough to enjoy everything Suttons Bay has to offer, yet peaceful and private enough to truly relax and unwind. The property itself exceeded our expectations in every way. It was immaculately clean, beautifully maintained, and had all the amenities we needed to feel right at home.What made our stay extra special was being able to spend quality time with our grandparents who live in the area. The property provided the perfect home base for family gatherings, with plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable. The layout was perfect for hosting, and we created memories we'll cherish forever.The host was responsive and clearly cares about providing an exceptional experience for guests. Check-in was seamless, and everything was exactly as described in the listing - actually, even better in person!We're already planning our return visit and can't wait to stay here again. If you're looking for a place in the Suttons Bay area, look no further. This property is a true gem, and we feel lucky to have found it. Thank you for helping make our family time so special!Highly recommend to anyone visiting northern Michigan!

Sutton’s Bay in July

Our family stayed here in July of 21 and had a great time! The location was perfect. Whether we were staying close to Sutton’s Bay or doing other things in the area we felt the location couldn’t have been better. We loved walking to eat out, get coffee, Ice cream, to shop, or walk to the beach and we were just a short drive to some of our favorite wineries. The kitchen was well stocked. The only reason we gave it a four is because the mattresses weren't the most comfortable for some in our party (which can be subjective) and we had air conditioning issues while we were there (the owner was aware and had a repairman come to try and fix the problem); some rooms were fine with the window units while others were stuffy. The owners were friendly and responsive to our needs and requests.. for example, we were short on bath towels and wash rags and they delivered additional sets within a couple of hours. The house was clean and well equipped.

Absolutely delightful retreat

We thoroughly adored this charming home, filled with glowing natural light and whimsical original art. The location is perfect for walking a single block to the bustling downtown and lakefront. It's also convenient for driving to other small villages nearby, or a variety of stunning recreational sites, and wineries. Yet when you get back "home", it feels like a private nest. The well-equipped house combines the charm of an old abode with great modern updates where needed, and the verdant yard/gardens are inviting from sunrise through the evening. The owners solved our single minor issue immediately. We're sad to leave!

Charming spacious home

Very solid and spacious home. A few quirks due to it being an old house (tight stairs, step up/down between rooms, light switches in odd spots). Enjoyed playing games each night in the upstairs family room (great size table) and gathered in the downstairs living room in the mornings to plan our day. Overall cleanliness leaves something to be desired. Basic spaces were adequately clean (kitchen/bath) but the blinds were very dusty and there were cobwebs in several spots. Hosts were great though we didn’t need to contact them during our weeklong stay. We love al fresco dining and ate at a large table with an umbrella on the concrete back patio each night but it was not as inviting a space as it could be. Very messy mulberry tree, and other unkempt items made it difficult to fully enjoy the patio. We did enjoy the music playing at the restaurant across the alley though. Great location and proximity to downtown shops and marina/beach. We watched different communities fireworks from the end of the pier! Would definitely recommend it but for the price might have expected a bit more attention to details.

About the host

Hosted by Holly and Jerome Smith

Host profile image
Holly and Jerome Smith are both northern Michigan natives, but they spent their formative years in New York, running some of the region's best restaurants and vinting wine. After finally making their way back home to beautiful Northern MI., Holly has pretty much retired but still does a couple days a week at the area’s best wine and gourmet shop in Lake Leelanau (Peninsula Provisions) and Jerome is even known to lend a hand here and there at one of the best restaurants in Northern MI which is managed by their son Sebastian (The Riverside Inn in Leland). It is safe to say hospitality is in their blood. It should be no surprise then that custom concierge, catering and event services are available - just inquire if interested. Otherwise, whip up your own culinary feast in their gourmet kitchen. Need help with tastings, tours, wine and shopping, local sourcing and foraging or just the skinny on the best restaurants and the local scene? They can help there too.

Why they chose this property

Both Holly and Jerome managed vacation rental properties in Leelanau county for other resort companies and after learning the lay of the land and meeting so many wonderful people, they knew their own home would be perfect for visitors. This 100+ year old Victorian has been updated and restored, complete with gracious outdoor living. Jerome's great-great grandfather was an original Suttons Bay settler, and their love for the area runs deep.

What makes this property unique

Location. Location. Location.
You will be ensconced in the heart of the charming Village of Suttons Bay, home of Inland Seas, sailing, boating, wind-kiting or just fresh water swimming, mere steps away from the beach and Marina, the TART trail, chef-owned gourmet restaurants and true UpNorth-style taverns, breweries and cider houses, tasting rooms, galleries, artisan craftsmen, extraordinary shopping, summer art and music festivals, the historic Bay Theatre... local attractions abound. And you will be surrounded by even more in the heart of beautiful Leelanau County and all Traverse City has to offer just 15 minutes away.
