Gorgeous sunsets at the beach!

This cottage is in a great location. Short drive to Leland and Suttons Bay. Easy to get to great hiking trails, sand dunes and Glen Arbor. The house is clean and the owner was thoughtful to make sure we had all we might need. We loved the beach deck, beach chairs, noodles and kayaks. Please note the beach this year is rocks, not sand, so a bit challenging to walk on without Tevas or the like. The cottage is a beautiful, forest view and guests should be able to do a slight incline path and a few stairs to access the spectacular view and quiet beach. Loved our stay and would definitely recommend.
