We had an amazing time here this summer! Water is beautiful and we enjoyed spending time on the covered deck, having beach bonfires and kayaking in the bay.

Beautiful little beach on Sutton's Bay

Lovely home/cottage right on Sutton's Bay. Very comfortable for 8 people and had everything we needed. Loved the fact that there was even a little beach with a fire pit -- great for long summer evenings in Michigan!

This was a very nice home in a perfect setting. The house had all of the supplies that were needed, including a kayak and bikes. The water was perfect and shallow.

Beautiful property that is exactly as described! Our group of eight fit perfectly, and all of us loved hanging out watching the sun rise on the porch in the mornings and then swimming and boating all day. Communication with host was excellent.

Lovely and peaceful

Beautiful home, beautiful setting. The porch was the gathering place for our family at all times of the day. Gorgeous sunrises, well-appointed kitchen, comfortable everything. Enjoyed biking along the TART trail and easy drives to cherry picking and wineries. Wonderful stay.

Lovely Vacation House on the Bay

We had a wonderful stay at the Suttons Bay house located steps away from the water. Every room in the house has windows that overlook the Bay and there is a deck that is the perfect place to relax with your family and enjoy the view of the bay. The house has everything you need to enjoy a beach front stay, and the village of Suttons Bay is delightful and we spent a day at Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, which is a short drive away.

Exceptional Experience Right on the Lake

Very clean and well equipped including bikes, kayaks and paddle board. Everything needed for cooking and grilling. Super comfortable beds with great quality linens. Great shopping and restaurants close by in Suttons Bay, Leeland, Glen Arbor and Traverse City. Owner super helpful and responsive. Beautiful beach but good idea to have water shoes.

Wonderful house and setting!

George and Tia were wonderful hosts and their property is just perfect for a vacation at the lake. The house is situated right at the water, so each day began and ended with a swim and paddle. The house is so convenient for taking advantage of many fun activities and great restaurants. The house was incredibly clean and nicely laid out with an open living/eating area with lovely porch overlooking the lake and big beds in each bedroom + twin beds. My friends and I had a fantastic time and loved staying in this gem of a house.

We loved our stay!

We loved our stay at this wonderful house in a spectacular setting. Perfect for our group of an adult couple, teenage kids, and a grandmother, who had her own room and bathroom. The house is as represented on listing. Great base for exploring the peninsula. The waterfront location on the bay is beautiful, especially from the covered porch. We brought kayaks and launched them right from the beach. The owners were very nice and responsive. We would definitely come back!

Loved our Stay

This VRBO is literally right on the water! The views are amazing, and the home is lovely. My parents, my husband, and our 3 teenage daughters fit perfectly into the home. My parents stayed downstairs with a private bath, and our daughters had a big room with multiple beds to themselves. The owners were super responsive and kind. One day we rode bikes into Suttons Bay - an easy and fun ride. Highly recommend this lovely home!!

Amazing Lake Home

The home is very tastefully decorated, extremely clean and the setting was idyllic. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our weekend. The layout of the house was perfect. The covered deck was like an additional living room for us. Be sure to bring water shoes for the lake. It's nice and shallow at the house but the rocks are plentiful and slippery.

The Perfect Weekend Getaway

This house is the perfect up north home, conveniently located on the water and close to town. My girlfriends and I all slept comfortably on the most comfortable mattresses, enjoyed quiet mornings on the porch and had plenty of space to hang inside together at night. We enjoyed wading and floating in the water and lounging on the beach watching sailboats sail by in a picturesque setting. The owners gave us great recommendations and were easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend a stay at this beautiful home (and I know my girlfriends feel the same!). Pro tip: pack sandals or water shoes for the lake as it’s a bit rocky.

Enjoyable vacation!

This rental is very accurately listed. The covered deck is honestly like another room and we spent most of our time out there- morning and night. The Sonos speaker on the deck was a huge plus! This house has a rustic charm- it is clean but isn’t fancy and that was fine by us. Kitchen is well equipped and we grilled most dinners. We rented jet skis one day and had the whole bay to ourselves. Lots of swimming, kayaking and floating (water shoes recommended). Keep lights off at night to keep lake gnats from invading! Overall a very nice lake house for an active family vacation.

What a memorable trip!

We had an amazing time! The kids just loved the beach house. The water is beautiful, shallow, and rocky. We all wore water shoes and the kids enjoyed looking for unique rocks. The fact that it was shallow was a plus because we had little kids. Overall, the house was well stocked for all our needs, we had plenty of space for everyone. They do not have central air, which was okay because we went when it was high of low 80 and they had plenty of fans. And one thing I would have loved is a stick vacuum for all the sand the littles inadvertently drug in. I would also suggest bringing a gate or two if you have a toddler to keep them from the stairs.

Amazing lake house, prettier than the photos!

The listing & photos for this house are very nice but the house in person far exceeded our expectations. Location is ideal. It’s right on 22, but set away from the road and directly on the lake. No road noise inside the house and very little while on the beach. Walking/biking distance to the absolutely adorable town of Sutton’s Bay and a 5 minute drive to a local grocery store that will have anything you need. The house itself is LOVELY. We arrived to find it spotlessly clean and very well equipped (far above other rentals we’ve experienced). The beds are comfortable and the sheets are soft and it all smelled as if it had been freshly laundered. Towels (including beach towels) are provided. There’s also everything you’ll need in the kitchen for basics as well as a gas grill. In addition, there’s bikes & things to enjoy the lake easily stored for you to use. The hosts walk the line perfectly between being super responsive and helpful, and also leaving you in peace and privacy. Can’t recommend them as hosts or this house highly enough. It’s outstanding!

The host was awesome to work with and so kind. You can’t beat this view and we enjoyed it daily. Try to catch a sunrise off the deck or in the water if you can. Really shallow clear water going way out but there are a lot of rocks so bring water shoes. Beautiful property very close to town. Northern Michigan at its finest.
