We fell in love with this cabin during our stay in Suttons Bay. We ended up extending our vacation a few days because we couldn't get over the location and the surrounding area was very nice.

Thank you, Joanne! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cottage and the views, even with the less-than-ideal weather. We’d love to welcome you back on a sunnier day!
I loved staying at this property! If you’re looking for something more on the rustic side but with the amenities you need, this is the place. Very peaceful and quiet and a perfect place to relax. While there wasn’t a beach, the access to the bay was easy to navigate. A short 25 min drive to downtown TC, or a 2.3 mile walk into downtown Suttons Bay, made this location really great for us.
Our only wishes had been a bit more parking and a place for our boat, but this was definitely the best place to unplug and unwind.
