Perfect Blend of Comfort & Nature
Our stay at Sutton Bay's Moonglade Cottage provided an idyllic waterfront sanctuary for a three-night birthday celebration. This tranquil haven is as close to the water as one can hope for, offering the ultimate calm experience. The cottage is equipped with a fire pit, generously stocked with wood, and a charming three-season room that invites you to curl up with a book. The private dock reaches invitingly into the crystal-clear waters, complete with steps that ease you into the lake for a refreshing dip. Inside, the two-bedroom abode features a well-appointed kitchen with a Keurig coffee maker—a significant hit with my partner.
The quaint size of the cottage strikes a harmonious balance between comfort and encouragement to explore the picturesque surroundings. It's snug enough to provide a warm retreat after venturing into the bustling Traverse City or exploring the quaint downtown of Sutton Bay, yet it naturally nudges guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of the outdoors. Our four-legged companion, Ghost, relished in the local walking trails and was notably reluctant to return to his usual city apartment life after such an invigorating escape. Our adventures even included a trek from the cottage to downtown and back, a testament to the cottage's invitation to enjoy the surrounding nature.
Taking advantage of the owner-provided kayaks, I enjoyed a tranquil paddle on the lake, further enhancing our serene weekend getaway.
Wholeheartedly reccommend!
