The property was wonderful, exactly as described. A great option for a couple. All the rooms were well appointed and with enough space to be relaxing. The area is near enough to Traverse City to be convenient but far enough from the crowds there. Suttons Bay was an unexpected gem.

A Perfect Place to Stay

An excellent place to stay in Suttons Bay. Very comfortable and spotless rooms. The wine tasting and restaurant on site are added bonuses. Owners are friendly and responsive. I highly recommend this property. It is close to restaurants in Suttons Bay and a short drive to Traverse City. We can't wait to return next summer.

Great Location! Comfortable Apartment!

This apartment had everything we needed. We love having a fully stocked kitchenette for breakfast. The location is great since it was close enough for trips to Traverse City and close enough to Suttons Bay for our favorites bike trail, L Mawby and Hop Lot.

Great spot for a Leelanau Co getaway

We enjoyed our stay very much. A very clean, well-maintained, one bedroom apartment. Located directly behind a wine tasting room that also has a Thai food restaurant and a store. We love the location as it was central when visiting all of the wineries from mission point all the way to Northport. We would definitely consider staying here again!

This home met all our needs for our anniversary getaway to Traverse City. It was the perfect location on Leelanau..the attached Thai restaurant only increased the value of this booking. The food is so delicious! The apartment was so very clean, neat and tidy. We instantly felt at home. Salve and Rich were such hospitable hosts. We can't wait to stay again!

Great location and beautiful property

My husband and I had a wonderful stay! The owners told us about a private beach across the road. We went down there and had it all to ourselves the afternoon that we checked in. I appreciated the signs asking us to take off our shoes in the bedroom and we were nicely asked to leave our bikes outside. You can tell the owners are proud of their property and we appreciated the cleanliness and hospitality. We will definitely be staying here again.

Great property, super clean, charming, and well-appointed apartment!

The pics were pretty accurate, but the appeal was so much better in-person. I loved the little cheese shop and winery attached, which was a stop on the wine-tasting tours. Very clean and well-kept units and property. The owners are very nice and welcoming. I just wish we had more time to try eating in their restaurant but we were very busy wandering and taking in sights around the Leelanau peninsula. We highly recommend a stay here to come enjoy the beaches and beach towns.

Great location!

As advertised. Check in and out were easy. Unfortunately, we couldn't take advantage of the on site Thai and pizza place. They were sadly understaffed for the week of the 4th. Maybe another time.
