If you’re looking for private water access with shallow water, this is the place! Our kids absolutely loved spending time in the water with the kayaks, paddleboard, water mat, and tube.The location is fantastic, with both Suttons Bay and Traverse City less than a 10-minute drive away. Both areas have plenty of restaurants and things to do, and there are also nearby lakes for boating and fishing.The updates to the cozy bathrooms were nicely done, and the outdoor deck was perfect for evening meals. The firepit was a favorite for making s’mores!The bedrooms are small but efficiently laid out, with good closet space. We couldn’t quite get comfortable in the beds during our stay, but maybe that just shows our age! The kitchen is also on the smaller side, but it served us well. One minor note: the dishwasher’s drying cycle didn’t completely dry the dishes.Our host was very responsive and helpful whenever we had questions. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and especially appreciated the private water access, great location, and family-friendly amenities.
