Great stay in Sutton's bay

We've stayed in a lot of places in the area and loved this one. Our favorite parts were proximity to beach, leelanau bike trail and town. Also loved the grill and to be able to sit out on deck and enjoy dinner.

Great location

The Bayview is an amazing location! We took our paddle boards right off the car and walked across the street to paddle in a beautiful location. The house is comfortable and tastefully decorated. You should note the air conditioning is from window units in the bedrooms and living room not central air. It was not shown in the pictures. The property owner was responsive and helpful. We had a nice stay.

This cute cottage is conveniently located in downtown Suttons Bay. You can walk to the beach, restaurants and stores. It is close to many beautiful beaches and wineries , and other cool small towns in the Leelanau Peninsula. My four sisters and I had plenty of room to relax and visit with each other.
