Awsome family vacation

What a great vacation home! Our family of 12 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was in pristine condition and the outdoor amenities were fantastic! We also enjoyed great communication with the owner - it was nice to meet with him onsite at check-in. Overall 5 stars!

Outstanding Vacation

This house was perfect for a large family vacation. Our children and grandchildren absolutely loved every moment of our stay. The hosts were fabulous. The home was clean, comfortable and well-kept. We spent lots of time in the yard, using the dock, and enjoying the beach. All in all, we are so happy to have stayed here and hope to return in the future.

Our family getaway

The property was absolutely beautiful. We had views of sunrise each morning, amazing shooting stars while enjoying the campfire and s'mores. One night 2 from our party of 11 witnessed the Northern Lights. The house was well equipped with cooking utensils. We had an amazing family vacation.

Heaven on West Bay

We’ve rented from online sites for years and have seen it all. This one is truly one of the nicest, cleanest properties we’ve ever stayed in. Every amenity you could need is thrown in and property management communicates better than can be hoped for. We will absolutely be back.

Beautiful Big Home

We had a wonderful time at this house in Leelanau County. There was plenty to do for two little boys, a beautiful beach, and plenty of room. The house is a beautiful home with big beds and lots of them! And the neighborhood is excellent for riding bikes, walking, or jogging. Just a beautiful location and perfect for families. We would highly recommend!

PERFECT

This house is perfect! We've been renting all over Michigan for 15 years and this was by far the best house we've stayed in. Not only was the house great but the property the house is on and the views could not be better. The owner is very flexible and chekcs in to make sure your stay is as good as can be.

Family week

House was perfect for us, our married daughters and their children ages 4-12. Bunk room was great as was the game room. Our hosts were in their guest house, and readily available. Thank you Ty & Beth

Family get-together

We rented this house on beautiful Sutton's Bay for our extended family of 12 (all adults over 18). It was in a great location...right on the lake with kayaks and jet ski dock, fire pit, beach area. You could ride bikes/walk/run easily right from the house or go into town (about 3 miles) and pick up the Leelanau Trail. House had everything we needed and very spacious. Downtown was very quaint and with a good variety of shops and restaurants. Would highly recommend staying here!!

Luxury Sutton Bay Waterfront Estate

Absolutely EVERYTHING is TOP NOTCH / 5 Star from the Waterfront Estate, accommodations, views, docks, fire pits and all the inside and outside (water sports) amenities. Ty was the perfect host, very responsive when needed and not around otherwise. We’ll be back to this paradise again! Thank you!!

Amazing retreat on the water!

Stunning property located right on the water. Every amenity you could think of—including a dock, fire pit, kayaks, a game room, laundry room, and fully equipped kitchen. Kids loved the bunk beds. Property owner was so helpful, responsive and kind. We had 12 people in our group—ages 4 yrs to 40+—and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Minutes from downtown Sutton’s Bay. Can’t wait to come back!

This was a fantastic destination for our extended family vacation! The property exceeded everyone’s expectations in every aspect. Large, comfortable, remarkably well-stocked (kitchen has everything you could possibly need, endless games (and a great game room), SO MANY little kid’s toys and beach toys, all the water equipment)! Layout was great, we could be together or separate as we wanted through the week. We rented a pontoon boat and the dock/mooring allowed us to use it to the max (be CAREFUL coming close to the dock, it gets VERY shallow for any boat. We ended up cutting the engine at the mooring and taking turns walking it in each time, which was easy). Our hosts were super responsive (within minutes every time) and answered our questions every time. Our group (10 of us, 6 adults and 4 kids 2-12) all had a fantastic week. It is not cheap but we all knew we got an exceptional experience! The house, the deck, the fire pit, the beach, swimming off the dock, playing ball in the front yard, watching the stars long into the night - lots of great memories made here. (And great ice cream minutes away in Suttons Bay!)

Perfect 3 Generation Family Spot

For 13 years, our family has gone up north for an extended family vacation. What started with just one grandkid getting to spend some fun time with their grandparents is now three, with a teenager, a child and 1 year old baby. This property is perfect for all of those age ranges! Bunk beds, upstairs quiet bedrooms, game room, and plenty of space for everyone... this house has everything that you need for a relaxing time together. We splashed at the beach, rode bikes on the quiet neighborhood streets, made s'more's in the fire pit, played board games on the deck and left with a lifetime of memories:)
