Wake up to stunning lake views and sip your morning coffee on the deck as the sun rises over the bay. The open-concept living area is filled with natural light and designed for comfort — perfect for entertaining, reading, or simply enjoying the serenity of your surroundings.
After a day of wine tasting or trail exploring, unwind in your private sauna or gather outside under the stars. The large yard offers space for lawn games, picnics, or watching local wildlife like swans, loons, and even bald eagles. You’ll hear the red buoy bell and see sailboats gliding by — a true “Up North” experience.

Great property. Very cozy and comfortable. Home was well-equipped. We wished we could stay for many more days. View of the lake across the street was stunning.

Great Location & All Remodeled
The bay view out the front windows is just gorgeous! The house appeared to be totally remodeled & it was lovely. Wood floor throughout, comfy furniture, nicely supplied kitchen & many thoughtful touches throughout the house. Light, bright interior & walls, just as nice or nicer than the beautiful professional pictures on the listing. Along the back of the house are the 3 bedrooms, first bedroom is the largest & has the king bed, next is the room with 2 twins, then the large full bathroom. Last on the left down that hallway is a small BR with the queen bed and a full bath with small shower across from it. That shower would be tight for a very large body, but we were very happy to have 3BRs & 2 full bathrooms.
We really enjoyed the home & congratulate the owner on such a lovely, well done reno. Great location just south of Suttons Bay, close to Mawby Winery, easy to get up or down the peninsula to all of our favorite places.
