The cottage was perfect. Our favorite activity was enjoying wine in the screened porch overlooking the bay. The location to downtown Sutton’s Bay and Traverse City were a plus. Our host was excellent in communicating with us from time of booking until our departure. The only regret was not being able to extend our stay for one more day.

We spent 3 nights at Moonglade cottage and had a wonderful stay. The cottage is equipped with everything we needed. Very clean and comfy. The back screened porch facing the water was a perfect place for relaxing. Evenings were spent around the bonfire. Tom, the host, was friendly and quick to respond. We will be back next year!

Stunning views, nice screened in porch. We used the kayaks. The house was about 2 miles from the TART trail and HopLots. The property is very small but clean. No washer/dryer. Bring coffee, tea, basic toiletries etc.

Scenic and peaceful

This cottage and area surrounding were lovely. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed. We spent so much time on that screened porch overlooking the water. What a treat. This place is my new favorite. I appreciate that I could bring my dog. All communication was very timely and every question was answered quickly. Wonderful, restful week.

Spring break

My daughter and I stayed in March for her spring break. We had our two four legged companions with us. We did a lot of hiking, shopping and eating. Enjoyed having coffee in the morning with the expansive view of the partially frozen bay. It was very cozy and relaxing on the days we stayed in. Really enjoyed our stay. Will definitely want to stay again. Very clean and cozy.

Cozy, relaxing late fall weekend

I love staying at Moonglade - this is our third time here. The occasional fierceness of the bay is countered by comfort of the cottage. Wonderful location, clean, feel like you are home. Highly recommend.
