Thank you, Sue! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful views and location. While our home isn’t fully updated, we intentionally reflect that in our pricing. At under $350 per night for an entire waterfront home with a private beach, we strive to offer an affordable getaway compared to other properties in the area. Our goal is to provide a clean, comfortable home where guests can enjoy the beauty of Lake Michigan without the higher price tag. We appreciate your feedback!

Highly recommend! Stop looking elsewhere and stay here. A place to relax, connect with nature and disconnect from life. Tonie was an outstanding host and the check-in process was easy. We can't stop talking about how grateful we are to have stayed here and are ready to go back! The house was very spacious. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs, private beach (with cool rocks), turquoise waters, and a big deck you can sit on staring at the water for hours. You are 5 minutes from downtown Suttons Bay. 20-30 from Traverse City, Northport and Leland. Truly unforgettable, heart warming vacation thanks to Tonie and this lovely property.

The house has a perfect location on the lake and is so close to great restaurants, shopping and an excellent bakery. The home was very nice and the beds were comfortable. There is plenty of room to relax in the evening inside or enjoy a cocktail on the spacious deck.

Great Stay

We rented the property for a long weekend and had a great time. We ended up sitting on the dock and back deck one entire afternoon just enjoying the view with some wine, it was amazing.

We had a great week staying at this Suttons Bay cottage on the water. We had everything we needed, and the house stayed nice and cool on the days we needed to use the central air. The views from the back deck were beautiful, we enjoyed looking out at the water in the morning with our coffee and at sunset with our wine : ) Wi-Fi was fast, Smart TVs were easy to use. The location was great, very close to downtown Suttons Bay and only about 15 minutes to Traverse City, and the neighbors were quiet. The property was very peaceful. We had six people plus a dog, and there was room for everyone - definitely a bonus having several living areas and a good-sized yard. The shoreline is rocky, but we just used water shoes and having the dock there to pull a pontoon boat up to was perfect. The host Tonie was wonderful, she made sure we had everything we needed and checked in with us, and was extra helpful when I accidentally had an Amazon order delivered there after our stay. Would love to stay here again.

Perfect Family Getaway: Cozy, Comfortable, and Kid-Friendly!

We stayed for 2 nights as two families with babies and toddlers. The house is perfect for kids—comfortable, cozy, and filled with toys. The outside area is safe and lovely. The host was super kind and easy to contact. We had a fantastic experience and highly recommend it for families!

Easy check in and the most beautiful clear blue water you can imagine

Very easy , no-touch/no-fuss check in. The cottage is small but very charming and thoughtfully updated. The view and the water is spectacular! Crystal clear, cold, clean water perfect for open water swimmers or kayakers.

Sunset on the Bay

Loved this home. Floor plan and flow was great for our group with different interest. We were close enough for day trips to explore the area. At home to unwind on a deck to watch the sunset on the bay, and the reflection of the moon on the water.
