Great Location and Friendly Folks

The location is ideal, being at the center of the leelanau wine scene, and right across from the bay. Everyone at the location was very friendly. (And the restaurant's Thai Pizza was excellent!)

Weekend Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location was convenient between Traverse City and Suttons Bay and the property was just as advertised. The rental was lightly stocked but was clean and had all the essentials we needed and the hosts were responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Location and Clean!!

We loved our stay! The apartment is above the winery and spacious. It was surprisingly quiet. There is a stand alone air conditioning unit in the bedroom that cooled the entire apartment. The hosts were great and easy to talk with! The restaurant downstairs had great food and drink options.Centrally located between downtown Suttons Bay and Traverse City. Across the street is a DNR boat launch and a quiet “private beach”for guests enjoyment. We will be back!!

Boating Trip

Stay was great!! Only thing that I will be looking into with VRBO is the $350 I was charged for an addition person. Communication with property owner was bad.

Lovely honeymoon

We had a lovely honeymoon. This was a nice starting point for all of our day trips. The kitchen had the appliances we needed. However, the dishwasher was broken, so I wouldn’t count on that for your stay. Had a little mix up about our check-in, but Salve arrived pretty quickly when we reached her. She also made us delicious southwest egg rolls and a bottle of wine for our trouble! The furniture was all comfy. Plenty of closet space in the bedroom. It was nice to have a full length mirror for getting ready.

Very clean, apartment not fancy but well appointed, staff wonderful. Let us borrow lawn chairs to take to Suttons Bay municipal beach. Restaurant very good, wine for sale good too. 10 minutes south of Suttons Bay. Close to the highway, living area has no windows to enjoy a view. The “beach” across the highway vastly over rated.

Perfect Location

This location was exactly as pictured. It had everything we needed. The host was great. We were even able to order food from the restaurant on site and they delivered right to our door. The chicken alfredo pizza was fantastic and the peach and honey wine was excellent. The location was perfect for getting to all the fun places to see in the area. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect spot for two

My friend and I were looking for a girls weekend getaway to Suttons Bay. The apartment was just as it appeared, but exceeded our expectations. The place was immaculate and met all of our needs without issue. The staff was very friendly and Richard and Salve were wonderful hosts. The attached Thai restaurant was our favorite of all of the places we dined that weekend! We really appreciate Richard and Salve for the wonderful stay and are looking forward to our next trip up there. We will definitely be back!

Do not pass this up!!!

We had the most amazing stay at Hawkins Farms Cellars. We had never been to Northern Michigan before and had the best time exploring. The beach across the street is great for looking for rocks. Found a Petoskey stone or two. You will want water shoes. I was amazed by how clean the rental was. You could tell they paid attention to the details. The room had a very comfortable king size bed and the living room has a pull out couch. Our 12 year old twins stayed on the pull out couch and were fine. The rental had all the pans and dishes we needed. Coffee pot worked great. But please please do not miss the restaurant down stairs. The food was excellent but we did not realize they were closed Monday and Tuesday so we did not get to try all the menu items we wanted to taste. The restaurant staff was so friendly and helpful with information about the area. The Chef and her brother could not have been nicer. Can’t say enough about this place. We will definitely be back!! One suggestion would be coat hooks downstairs where you leave your shoes. ☺️ I also personally liked the location. Basically equal distance to TC or Suttons Bay. We headed in both directions for various things.

Great place for a trip to Michigan. The location is perfect. The lodging was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Having wine tasting and really good food on site is a big plus. We will be coming back next time we are up north in Michigan.

Convenient location

The rental was great, perfect location and the thai food was delicious. There was a portable air conditioner in the bedroom which worked for me as i usually have a box fan, but the rental kept cool even during a 85-90 degree weekend. Super easy check in.

Bike trip and wine tasting

Great location for access to bike trails and wine tastings. There is amazing Thai food on the property as well as pizza and wine tasting. Huge parking lot available for bike trailers, boats, etc. One note - this is a second floor apartment above a restaurant but noise was not an issue as they close by 9:00. Very clean and contained all the necessities.
