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.

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!)

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!

Our Michigan Vacay

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.

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!

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.

Weekend Getaway

Very clean and spacious apartment. We stayed for a long weekend, but certainly could have enjoyed the place for a whole week. The location allows for easy travel to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Suttons Bay or TC. However there’s quite a bit to do onsite with a restaurant, wine tasting room, and even a little beach across the road.

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!!

Great Location, Quiet Retreat

Our family of 5 stayed in this apartment for 8 days. It was clean, well maintained, and comfortable. The kitchen is equipped with enough to prepare simple meals. We were both surprised with how quiet the space is given that it is located on a fairly busy road. The kids loved it...especially going out back to look for frogs every morning. We will definitely be staying again when we are in this area.

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.

Beautiful Convenient Clean

Everything about our experience was wonderful! The place was clean and very large. It was convenient to go to Traverse City or any of the small towns in the area. It’s was very comfortable for our family of 4. Rich was very nice and accommodating. I know we will be coming back to stay in the future! Thanks for everything!

Very clean nice stay

The property was exactly as described and very comfortable. Great location for taking excursions around the bay. One thing, that they might not be aware of is the coffee maker is not functioning right. It wouldn't drip and backed up out of the filter. Might just need a good cleaning but other than that all was great!
