This is a beautiful property on the beach in Sutton’s Bay. The house is fully updated, well appointed amenities, quiet, and spacious. Our host made sure we were comfortable and it was one of the easiest check out procedures. I would highly recommend the Lodge for family reunions / vacations - our kids said it was one of their best trips and get togethers.

Our family had a wonderful week at The Step Lodge! The house is in a beautiful setting and perfect location for the many great activities in the Leelenau area. The view of the bay from the deck and beach was serene. The house had everything our family needed for a memorable and comfortable stay. It was an outstanding week's stay in a wonderful property.

Step Lodge is fantastic for a group. We had three families staying at the cottage and the house was perfect. We had a house-wide ping pong tournament and loved swimming off the dock. The cottage is better than advertised! 10/10 for sure.
