Quiet, Private, Waterfront - Luxury on 125 Ft. of Suttons Bay
White Fence of Suttons Bay is a truly unique vacation property. The property is a compilation of restored circa 1900 farm buildings just one block south of one of the most quaint villages in the Upper Midwest. The Village of Suttons Bay has deluxe shopping, art galleries and excellent restaurants abound. White Fence of Suttons Bay is within walking distance of it all and centrally located for touring all of scenic Leelanau County and its multitude of wineries, fine restaurants, charming villages and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park.
White Fence is a small and quiet property which has been meticulously renovated. The guest suite is artfully done with privacy, quiet and magnificent views of the bay kept in mind. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with seating areas throughout including private decks on the beach. Night star gazing is memorable. Although we love pets and children, the carriage house suites is not designed for either.
Directly across the street from White Fence is a gourmet grocery store which specializes in local produce and houses an extensive wine selection where the sommelier can describe to you the award-winning local wines. There is an outdoor kitchen area at White Fence with a charcoal grill should you decide to cook and hot plate for sautéing and boiling.
Also directly across the street, is the Leelanau Trail, an extensive biking, walking and running trail. It offers miles of scenic enjoyment. In the winter months, the Trail is groomed for cross country skiing. White Fence was originally opened for business on July 4th, 2010. The new owners are permanent residents of Suttons Bay and our aim is to maintain the beauty and tranquility that has been pleasing guests since the beginning.

Perfect spot for a weekend getaway! We love the beach access, that it's walkable to downtown Sutton's Bay and a short driving distance to many other northern Michigan towns we love. We'll definitely stay again!

I highly recommend the Carriage House. Literally steps from the water, and only a short walk to town or to the Leelenau Trail. Great host, great property.
Great location! Great view of the lake and small beach to appreciate the beauty! Walk to shops and restaurants - including Hop Lot Brewery !just what we needed!

We chose the property originally for the proximity to the bike trail. The bike ride was great and the carriage house was conveniently located near restaurants and the grocery. The view of the lake was beautiful!
