Another great stay

This was our second consecutive summer stay at this great property and everything was just as delightful as before - such a comfortable place for us to host family and friends, and the owners are charming, kind, and were attentive to our questions and (one minor) concern. It's a sweet retreat!!

Great location but lacks a few things

The location is amazing. It has old house charm which makes the layout a little choppy. The house was clean except the floors need a good mop. If you are planning on cooking, it’s not well equipped. - missing hot pads, dish towels, coffee filters, trash bags, large pot etc. Not a good rental for elderly guest- steep stairs and first floor bath has deep tub which is hard to enter to shower. We did enjoy our stay because of the location and checkout was super easy.

Absolutely delightful retreat

We thoroughly adored this charming home, filled with glowing natural light and whimsical original art. The location is perfect for walking a single block to the bustling downtown and lakefront. It's also convenient for driving to other small villages nearby, or a variety of stunning recreational sites, and wineries. Yet when you get back "home", it feels like a private nest. The well-equipped house combines the charm of an old abode with great modern updates where needed, and the verdant yard/gardens are inviting from sunrise through the evening. The owners solved our single minor issue immediately. We're sad to leave!

Charming spacious home

Very solid and spacious home. A few quirks due to it being an old house (tight stairs, step up/down between rooms, light switches in odd spots). Enjoyed playing games each night in the upstairs family room (great size table) and gathered in the downstairs living room in the mornings to plan our day. Overall cleanliness leaves something to be desired. Basic spaces were adequately clean (kitchen/bath) but the blinds were very dusty and there were cobwebs in several spots. Hosts were great though we didn’t need to contact them during our weeklong stay. We love al fresco dining and ate at a large table with an umbrella on the concrete back patio each night but it was not as inviting a space as it could be. Very messy mulberry tree, and other unkempt items made it difficult to fully enjoy the patio. We did enjoy the music playing at the restaurant across the alley though. Great location and proximity to downtown shops and marina/beach. We watched different communities fireworks from the end of the pier! Would definitely recommend it but for the price might have expected a bit more attention to details.

Great way to experience Leelanau!

Walking distance to everything in Sutton’s Bay and a short drive (or bike ride) to many great landmarks along and around M22. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Holly and Jerome Smith

Holly and Jerome Smith are both northern Michigan natives, but they spent their formative years in New York, running some of the region's best restaurants and vinting wine. Back home in God's country, Jerome is still a wine importer and Holly manages the Mawby tasting room (best bubbles period!). It is safe to say hospitality is in their blood. It should be no surprise then that custom concierge, catering and event services are available - just inquire if interested. Otherwise, whip up your own culinary feast in their gourmet kitchen. Need help with tastings, tours, wine and shopping, local sourcing and foraging or just the skinny on the best restaurants and the local scene? They can help there too.

Why they chose this property

Both Holly and Jerome managed vacation rental properties in Leelanau county for other resort companies and after learning the lay of the land and meeting so many wonderful people, they knew their own home would be perfect for visitors. This 100+ year old Victorian has been updated and restored, complete with gracious outdoor living. Jerome's great-great grandfather was an original Suttons Bay settler, and their love for the area runs deep.

What makes this property unique
