About this property

White Fence Main House and Carriage House Suite - Exquisite Private Waterfront!

This classic coastal farmhouse has been restored with classic style and design with new windows in December 2020! This beach home features quality finishes and timeless designs throughout the 2022 square footage. Three covered porches and two large gazebo's along with multiple decks, extensively landscaped and manicured grounds, and unobstructed bay views from throughout the estate make this a one of a kind property. Known for its classic white and black awnings, White Fence creates a wonderful relaxing setting that enjoys over 127ft of private sandy frontage on Suttons Bay. Outdoor fire pits and beach front seating make this the ideal vacation property and Suttons Bay is the ideal northern Michigan destination. Guests have access to kayaks, jet ski hoist and boat hoist with dock for their private watercraft. Hoist will hold up to a 21’ boat.

The location of the property is less than 1/4 mile south of Suttons Bay, off M-22 on South Shore Dr. Walking to the many restaurants and shops is very easy with sidewalk access directly from the property.

The Beach! It's glorious and worth the price of admission! Idyllic setting and sandy bottom bay

Unfortunately we had rainy weather, but the few sunny days we had were spent in the water for sure! The walk into town is effortless and a nice thing to do for breakfasts and or dinners and or shopping or biking! The trail for biking was wonderful, the town was great too! Hosts were amazing. Very responsive. If any issues come up, they bend over backwards to help. As hosts they get an 11 out of 10! For those having to work on vaca, we were in the carriage house and the internet was incredibly fast! Suttons Bay was such a nice change from the hustle and bustle of Traverse, but close enough to drive there with relative ease.

What a week!

The White Fence was absolutely perfect for our family of 3 generations. My husband and I used the Carriage House and our children and granddaughter were very happy in the main house. There was plenty of room for joint meals, inside and out, and family gatherings! We lived on the porch with the rocking chairs and the gorgeous view of Sutton’s Bay. Mike was great at answering all of our questions before we arrived, and we appreciated the many amenities supplied. It was exactly the type of vacation we needed to end our summer!

About the host

Hosted by Mike & Hilarie Krumm

White Fence of Suttons Bay has been recently purchased by 24 year Suttons Bay residents Greg and Shirley Hodge and their Daughter and Son in-law Mike and Hilarie Krumm. The families have been coming to the area for the past 20 years and fell in love with this property when it came up for sale in 2017.

Why they chose this property

White Fence is a statement property in the Village of Suttons Bay. The Black and White awnings are reminiscent of a home you would find on Mackinac Island. The completely redesigned farmhouse by the previous owners is now being made available to share for those wishing a private, exclusive stay at an exquisite property. New updates include new windows which allow for great lake breezes, new TV's, new siding on the Carriage House and more.
