We are from California and didn't know the area. I found the TVC Cherry Capital airport was an option and at first thought we would stay in Traverse City. I am SO glad we chose Suttons Bay instead. We loved walking everywhere. We much prefer a small, calm town over a bustling city. The cottage was peaceful and charming. Comfortable mattresses and very clean, updated bathrooms. Lovely to stroll down to the beach and walk out on the point by the harbor. We didn't cook, but the kitchen seemed to have all the basics. We brought coffee, wine, and ice, and we were set. Had wonderful meals at Martha's Leelanau Table and the VI Grill. Took a beautiful sail via Traverse Tall Ship Co.Thank you, Tom, for your communication and hospitality.
