Quiet location

House and property were magnificent tucked away in a wooded hill side. 5 minutes to town with many wonderful shops, places to eat, and access to the bay. It was perfect.

Our Sutton’s Bay Happy Place

Our 3rd consecutive year at School Hill. We absolutely love it. It fits our family beautifully. Every room is so comfortable and well furnished. Kitchen has everything needed for a perfect vacation. Grounds are wooded with 3 decks for relaxing. Could not be better for a family and their fur babies! We hope to return next year.

Perfect Getaway

We had stayed here last year and totally enjoyed everything about it. This year was exactly the same, with a few nice updates. Couldn't have asked for a better time!

Great house. Close to everything.

Quiet neighborhood a few blocks from downtown Suttons Bay. Chris was easy to reach. I had some confusion about house access and he responded right away. The location made easy access to TC and Leland. There were 5 of us so having our own rooms was nice. Would certainly recommend!

Quiet Wooded Retreat Yet Close to Resort Town

House is more spacious than appears in photos! Nestled on hill and surrounded by woods helped provide quiet remote feel, yet remarkably close to town of Suttons Bay. Within walking distance - downhill to town. Nicely appointed with all imaginable kitchen appliances and excellent dinnerware. Comfortable beds and linens! Deck is fantastic. Great layout for our mixed family - space for everyone to enjoy, gather, or have private time. Wish I would have made time to use the exercise room! Honestly can’t say enough about this rental. Would highly recommend!!
