A top notch house with the best appliances, lighting, bathrooms, and location next to a rails-to-trail.The windows do a great job of reducing any traffic noise. The one-car garage is a playroom. Great fun for the whole family.

I was notified of the intermediate service at 9:29 PM. I responded within two minutes of the message. I immediately called spectrum and had them run diagnostics and was told everything was within range. I had a technician out the next day. They replaced the modem and router. Everything works great.

Outstanding trail side home near TVC and Suttons Bay

One of the best stays we’ve had. Beautiful and thoughtfully outfitted home with all the amenities of a high-end hotel. Fantastic location and setting. Close to all the area attractions. Cannot go wrong staying here, and Charlie is a gracious and super responsive host.

The house was perfect. As a family of 5, we had plenty of space. It had a cozy feel and had everything you would need. The kids loved the ping pong table and foosball. We even used the firepit one night. The host was great at answering questions and responded quickly. The beds were super comfortable. We were worried about the twin bunk bed set up, afraid they would be too small for our 19 y.o. But they were bigger than expected, and he fit perfectly.The location is convenient. Suttons Bay is between Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and Traverse City. So, it wasnt too far to get to either spot to sightsee, dine, etc. If we nake it back to thr UP, would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Place to Stay

This little home is absolutely adorable! If I could have bought it from the property manager I would have. The communication was very quick and efficient and the owners ensure your stay is nothing short or wonderful. We will be staying again in the future!

Fall color and bike tour

Very impressed with the cleanliness and quality of workmanship in home. Very convenient to bike trail, Suttons Bay and several wineries. It was a great home base for our Leelanau and Old Mission adventures. Plan on visiting again.

Beautiful House, Great Location

We enjoyed everything about staying at the house. I'll point out some highlights below. The house seems to be recently remodeled and was well done. Very clean There are so many amenities and little touches around the house that make staying here great. Quiet location but very close to wineries and restaurants around the peninsula.

Great stay at lovely house

This house is beautifully located in the farmland outside Suttons Bay, right off the bike trail and convenient to Lake Michigan, restaurants, and the grocery store. The house itself is clean and attractive and had everything we needed for our family stay, including coffee, bottled water, a bottle of wine and some snacks. We loved the fire pit and s'mores-making supplies! The bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely designed and laid out and there were lots of common areas for hanging out. We would definitely stay here again!

Great trip up North!

Lovely and clean house! Enjoyed cooking a couple dinners on the grill! Near to golf, boat launch and wineries. Easy to drive to many near-by cities/towns. Enjoyed the near-by trail for daily walks. We had a couple fires in the evenings. Fun time for all of us! 😄😄

Gem on the TART

This Place is right in so many ways! Clean Bright New Comfortable This was great for our family reunion in Sutton’s Bay. You can literally access the TART trail right off the back yard! Charlie was very responsive when we had some minor issues. Snacks and coffee were a nice touch. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Wonderful Home!

The home is immaculate, comfortable, and private. The owner was helpful and accommodating. We use VRBO very often, and this was one of my better experiences. My wife was delighted with the kitchen and found it very well equipped. Plenty of yard space if you have children, and the backyard connects directly to a bike path. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a ping pong and foosball table in the garage. My only request is that the owner adds a fire pit somewhere on the property. Overall this place is an A+

Great Place to Stay

Our family (husband, wife and 2 small kids) very much enjoyed this house. It was perfect for what we were looking for, as it provided a clean, newly remodeled, impeccably furnished home for our family to stay in. Everything was new and the owners did a great job on the furnishings. The game room was a nice touch in the garage and the outdoor patio was perfect for our evening meals (no bugs surprisingly!) The only thing we wish was included was a fire pit for evening bon fires and s’mores. As far as location, being right next to the trail is awesome and its easy to get to either downtown Sutton’s Bay or further west activities like Lake Leelanau, Leland, etc. I’m sure wine lovers, I.e. visitors without small children will absolutely love the location as there’s probably 30 wineries within a very short drive. Speaking of small children, the only downside is the house is on a pretty busy highway, although it is set back some with a yard separating it so it’s not a huge deal, but you do obviously have to pay close attention when they are outdoors. Would recommend this house to anyone and we would gladly stay again!

Thank you for the great review Michael and thank you for being great guests. We are happy you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. Unfortunately our country road can get a little busier right around Traverse City's Cherry Festival week. We have added a fire pit and hope to see your family back soon!
