This property was perfect for our visit to the area for a family reunion. It was comfortable, clean, and we slept well. We enjoyed walking around town each evening, including catching a movie at the Bay Theater and dinner at the Village Inn. The location is perfect for a Suttons Bay visit.

It's a perfect location! We were able to walk to everything around Sutton's Bay. It's a beautifully appointed little cottage(spotless!) off of the alley so it's very quiet and peaceful yet only 2 blocks from everything! Especially our favorite ice cream shop! Would definitely stay here again or suggest it to others!

A beautiful studio apartment tucked away yet within easy walking distance to all that Suttons Bay has to offer. The location is perfect — close to the wineries and just a quick drive to visit charming Fishtown. It was exactly what we needed for some R&R.We would have given 5 stars, but unfortunately, there was a dog in the owners unit that barked nonstop as we tried to relax. It made for a disappointing time spent at the apartment, even though everything else was wonderful.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 October 2025
I’m so very sorry this happened. This has never happened before and was unfortunate that it did occur during your stay. We did arrange for you to check in early and certainly hoped that you would enjoy the studio as all our other previous guests have done. We have never had a problem like this before and certainly don’t plan on a repeat.

About the host

Hosted by Holly and Jerome Smith

Host profile image
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. After finally making the move back to beautiful Northern MI, Holly now basically retired still does a couple days at the area’s top wine and gourmet shop in Lake Leelanau (Peninsula Provisions) and Jerome is even known to lend a hand here and there at one of the best restaurants in Northern MI which is managed by their son Sebastian (the Riverside Inn in Leelanau). 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. 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 that the adorable recently added little studio attached to their own home (which is now their latest personal project) would be perfect for visitors. This 100+ year old Victorian was purchased by my aunt as a pied-a-terre for her to come visit us and escape the summer heat in Washington D.C. where she had some mysterious position with the CIA. It has a great location in the heart of Suttons Bay with easy access to all the amenities the village has to offer visitors. Jerome's great-great grandfather was an original Suttons Bay settler, and their love for the area runs deep.

What makes this property unique

Location. Location. Location.
You will be ensconced in the heart of the charming Village of Suttons Bay, home of Inland Seas, sailing, boating, wind-kiting or just fresh water swimming, mere steps away from the beach and Marina, the TART trail, chef-owned gourmet restaurants and true UpNorth-style taverns, breweries and cider houses, tasting rooms, galleries, artisan craftsmen, extraordinary shopping, summer art and music festivals, the historic Bay Theatre... local attractions abound. And you will be surrounded by even more in the heart of beautiful Leelanau County and all Traverse City has to offer just 15 minutes away.
