The location was wonderful and the view of the bay across the street was so pretty even covered in snow. Check-in and out was super easy and when we had questions they responded very quickly. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect getaway!

Great stay for our family of 5, the location can’t be beat. Enjoy a meal at the wonderful Farm Club or grab a coffee and some treats at Lakeview Hill Farm & Market, both just minutes away. Spend hours relaxing at the easy access private beach or hop over to a nearby trail for a hike. We loved our time here and hope to visit again in the future.

We loved the beautiful updated interior. So bright, clean, and spacious! It had everything we needed to make our stay memorable. The fenced-in yard was great for our dog, and we enjoyed being able to go across to the beach and water every day. Close to town, but far enough away to avoid the congestion and construction if we wanted.

We really enjoyed our stay! The hosts went above and beyond by allowing us to extend our visit on short notice. The house was impeccably clean, had easy access to the lake, and was conveniently located near both Suttons Bay and Traverse City.

Relaxing Weekend

We spent a relaxing family weekend away with our dog. Check-in Friday evening was easy and the fenced backyard was nice since we had our dog with us. We enjoyed spending Saturday morning at the private beach across the street. We drove into town for Saturday evening shopping and dinner. Just what we needed for an easy weekend away. Thanks!

As a first time Vrbo user I didn’t know what exactly to expect, but I had a wonderful experience at this lovely property! Everything was exactly as described, if not better. So comfortable and a perfect view. The fenced in yard was a definite selling point since I was traveling with my fur baby. The host communication was very welcoming and had fast responses to any questions. It started to feel like home and I was sorry to have to leave! I will definitely make a return trip in the future!

Wow, this place was the perfect quick summer get-away!! Our little dog loved the fenced in back yard and having a garage was truly wonderful as it rained while we were packing up...Nice!! The dog treats and the bottle of great local wine were an added bonus too...Thanks to Corey for this wonderful property, we would certainly stay again. Jan, Dan & Dustee Portage, MI
