Beautiful large property with a lake view and a private dock down the way. Owners well connected with local businesses. Kayak rentals delivered and picked up at the dock. Plentiful dishes and flatware with a large dining room. Game room had a pool table, ping pong table and a fussball game. Lots of table games as well.The building itself is impressive log construction with modern kitchen and bathrooms. A truly unique building set on a hilltop in the equally beautiful Leelanau Peninsula.

A Family Getaway

A huge log lodge with space for everything a group would want to do and yet it still manages to feel very cozy. We enjoyed the house and views immensely and the location is great for visiting some wineries and getting out to great restaurants. But the kitchen is fully functional so you really wouldn't have to leave at all.

Wedding weekend

Loved our stay at the lodge! It is equipped with everything you need to cook in, and the rooms are spacious and beautiful. We had two families stay for a good friends wedding and the living arrangements were perfect. We had a bonfire the last night and were treated to some fabulous and unexpected fireworks on the lake. Definitely would book again.

Overall, a beautiful place. However, there are some items that do need some attention. but if those would be addressed, it would be a definite five star all the way. Accommodations are very comfortable, large gathering area, but also quiet areas where you can get away from the group if you would like to.

Amazing!!!

The Hilltop Log Lodge is an incredible log home with tons of space. Lots of room to spread out and enjoy a variety of activities. The lodge is very well-appointed with all the amenities you could possibly need. Everything was extremely clean. Beds were very comfortable with quality bed linens. This was one of the nicest VRBO's we have ever stayed in. Would definitely stay again! You will not be disappointed with a stay at Hilltop Log Lodge!!

Family weekend

Property is amazing. Large high-end log cabin with great spaces and nice comfortable furniture. Bedrooms very nice. We were a party of 8 and it was just right size-wise. Loved the outdoor fire circle. Perfect base of operations for all the adventure that Sutton’s Bay and Travers City have to offer…biking, hiking, views, wineries, breweries, restaurants. We’ll be back!

Annual Siblings Weekend

We feel so blessed to have found this home for our annual siblings' weekend getaway. There were ten of us who stayed, and this beautiful log cabinet accommodated us and exceeded our expectations by providing all of the amenities we could have needed. This log home was spacious which gave all of us plenty of space to be together or have some private time. The home is absolutely beautiful and is decorated as a piece of art. The grounds and views of Grand Traverse Bay were amazing. We highly recommend this home to anyone coming to the area! Thanks Lauren for hosting us!

Hilltop Log Lodge was wonderful!

This might be the cleanest vrbo we have ever rented. It was very spacious and the views of Traverse Bay were gorgeous. The only drawback was the beach/swimming area. The water level was a bit low and that may be why the dock area was not at all inviting for those wanting to swim. There was a foul odor and a lot of debris on the beach and a lot of grass/reeds growing off the end of the dock. But everyone in our family of 7 agreed they would rent this gorgeous house again.

Awesome property

This house was spectacular! It was laid out nicely with privacy for everyone. The kitchen had everything we needed…including spices…sometimes we have had to buy even salt and pepper at other houses. The basement game room had more games than we could get to in just 1 week. If there was any negative, it would be crossing a 55 mph road to get to the dock. Overall, we were very happy!

Beautiful Stay!!

We had an amazing stay at Hilltop Lodge. It lived up to all of the five-star reviews. It was so beautiful and had the most incredible views. The house was well-stocked and every detail well thought out. It had so much room that our family could each have our own space while also having lots of great areas to come together. The furniture and beds were so comfortable they just made you want to cozy in.Everything was of the highest standards. We loved to have our morning coffee out on one of the many outdoor areas while enjoying the view and to also sit on the deck and watch the sky turn colors at sunset. Suttons Bay was just a few minutes away. It, and the surrounding area, was also incredibly beautiful with many options of things to do and wonderful restaurants. There was something for everyone. We were all sad to leave and would love to come back someday.

Absolutely spectacular. This vacation home overdelivered on our expectations. The house is beautiful, spacious and so well-equipped. It's set in the woods, surrounded by calming greenery and soothing birdsong with breathtaking vistas of Lake Michigan. Inside, everything is so well-appointed to make for the most comfortable stay. The kitchen is extremely well-stocked with everything you'll need and wish for, including well-honed chef's knives, serving bowls and platters of every size, multiple cutting boards, a food processor, a hand blender and upright blender, a microplane, All-Clad and Le Creuset pots and pans, and more. We love to cook and took full use of the incredible kitchen offerings. It was such a pleasure to enjoy our family meals on the deck overlooking the verdant trees and the lake at a short distance. Betsey, the property manager, was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. It was a truly wonderful vacation and we would be delighted to return, and definitely highly recommend.

My family get-together was so amazing at the beautiful log house. It was even better than we expected with so many bedrooms and private baths. Each couple had their own master suite and each of the children their own sleeping area. The kitchen was very well equipped to accommodate serving our group of nine. Our children mostly grown enjoyed the game room playing ping pong, pool, and fusball. Our time at the pier on the bay was enjoyed by all of us and our host referred me to Sutton Bay sports to rent Kayaks and a water surface. My husband is a builder and had many great things to say about the quality of the log house. We loved that it was far enough away from the hectic activities of Traverse City because of the Cherry Festival which we enjoyed one day. Thank you Lauren for providing such a lovely home for our vacation!PS: The view from you house of the bay is spectacular!

A great gathering place for our large family! The included dock was a great part of the house, but be warned - access is hampered by a parking area that’s wildly overgrown
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 21 Jul, 2026
We're so glad that you enjoyed our home! The parking area across the road from the dock area is a small cleared grass lot, after you called to let us know that it was overgrown we dispatched our landscape crew to mow it. We apologize that it was not mowed in advance of your stay, however most guests choose to park on the same side as the dock, adjacent to the dock stairs, in order to avoid crossing the road. That parking area is always clear cut and wide open. Thank you again for your stay! We hope to welcome you back soon!
