We needed a place to stay for my daughter’s wedding to be held in Sutton’s Bay at a winery, and Erin and Tracy’s house fit the bill!! There were 10 of us, so we needed enough beds and bathrooms to accommodate! The home is beautifully decorated with nice upgrades and the view of the water and the dock outside made for wonderful mornings enjoying our coffee! Would highly recommend!!

An amazing experience

Our two sons and their families joined us for a week in celebration of our birthdays. Not only was the house perfect for a family of nine, but the house is located only minutes from from the heart of downtown Suttons Bay. We enjoyed all of the amenities that came with the house and especially loved the hot tub, the fire pit where we enjoyed making s'mores in the evening, and the dock with a pergola that provided shade when desired.

Another great family vacation!

This is our second stay at The Beach House and we loved it! The weather gods blessed us with sunny skies and temps in the low 80’s. We had a chance to use the cabana on the dock and it was a game changer! My 2 1/2 years old got to “push” his 11 year old cousin into the lake and the kids played nonstop with the water blasters we bought. We’re going to re-book to next year!

Anniversary family gathering

This is a great property for a large family and has a fully stocked kitchen. Everyone had their own space so it never felt crowded. The dock/ beach and water were beautiful. Because the water temp was cold we used the hot tub a fair amount after swimming. The kids loved it. We also loved that the Suttons Bay village was so close. Finding a place to fish was a challenge however.

Great stay

House was clean, in a great location and view of water. We really enjoyed our stay. There were limited towels, we had a group of 8 and some had to use beach towels. Upstairs is a loft style bedroom, something to be aware of. Overall great stay, 4 stars.

Amazing Stay in Sutton Bay

We stayed at this beautiful home the weekend of our son's wedding at Black Star Farms. The home was exactly what needed for our family. The home was clean and the rooms were perfect for all our adult children and their significant others. The location was close to the venue and downtown Sutton Bay. We enjoyed the sitting out on the dock as the sunset and the fire pit on the beach. We will definitely be back.

Another Wonderful Week!

This was our fourth year of staying at Tracy & Erin's wonderful house and everything was perfect as usual! The house was exceptionally clean upon our arrival. The inside layout fits our family for activities with the grandchildren, and having meals together. The location is ideal with easy access to their beach and fantastic dock/pergola over the water. It was another amazing week in northern Michigan and we can't wait to return.

Home Away from Home

This was our fourth time spending a week at The Beach House with our family of 10 (ages 7yo-85yo). As always, the home and property were welcoming, tidy, and comfortable. Erin and Tracy are wonderful hosts and immediately responsive to any inquiries or needs. Our family looks forward to this week at their Suttons Bay home each year and certainly plan to return. For those not familiar with Leelanau Peninsula, it's a treasure and worth visiting at least once in your life.

Family lake house in Suttons Bay

This was our second year renting this property and we were just as thrilled as last time. A spacious, lovely home designed for a large group with generously sized community spaces as well as small nooks and corners for those desiring a bit of privacy. The back patio, front deck, private beach and dock are each well-appointed with comfortable furniture and wonderful views. Our family of 10 spanned three generations and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay at the Beach House.

Can’t wait to come back- treasured family memories

Tracy and Erin’s house was the ultimate place to spend a week away with family in our favorite town, Sutton’s Bay. The walkability to town as well as hoplot couldn’t be beat. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed- the hosts truly thought of everything! The house was spotless and had plenty of room for our family to relax. There was even a hot tub to relax in after a long day of shopping, eating and splashing in the water. The sandy beach, views off the dock and clear waters are what truly made this place so special. We can’t wait to continue to spend our vacations here at this beautiful house and continue to make family memories to last a life time.

Idyllic lakeside vacation

Our multi generational family stayed in this lovely home just minutes from the main town area of Sutton’s Bay. The location is perfect with Hansen’s market 2 minutes away and Hop Lot brewery just down the road. We could bike from the house to the TART trail and also to our favorite ice cream shop in SB. The house is in pristine condition with all the amenities for cooking and lounging around. The private beach and amazing dock setup is the best we have seen in 15+ years of summering on Leelenau. We hope to be back again before too long.

The Beach House Delivers Again...

This was our third year staying in The Beach House for our annual family vacation in Suttons Bay. We are family of 10 ranging in age from mid-80's to kindergartner. The home and grounds are beautifully kept, well-appointed with large community spaces for family meals and movie nights as well as plenty of private nooks for anyone who wants some peace and quiet. I whole-heartedly recommend this rental for families or friends who want a comfortable, updated waterfront home with a lovely private beach and dock.

Perfect beach house!

This place was perfect for us! Not only is the location ideal, but the home is impeccably clean and decorated in high-end finishes. The layout is thoughtfully designed to provide one-of-a-kind lake views, and open floor plan, and plenty of privacy for ourselves, 2 adult daughters, and their families. Lots of outdoor space too, including a nicely groomed, sand beach which was great for the kids. An easy walk to Hansens Grocery Store, Hop Lot, and downtown Suttons Bay. Surrounded by wineries where we spent too much money! The TART bike trail is nearby which was a real plus for my daughter and son-in-law. We've already booked again for next year!

High End VRBO Up North

This VRBO met the high expectations we had for a peak season, higher end rental. Inside it had everything you could want in the kitchen, etc. Loads of matching silverware for our large group. Plenty of serving trays. Everything that you would have in your own home. It felt like we were staying at a friends home, and not a weekly rental. We encountered a water issue during our week. Totally random and no fault of the owners or home. The property owner answered the phone immediately when I called. He was at the house in 5 minutes. And the needed repair was done early the next morning. Situation handled perfectly. The owner even bought our family dinner that evening for the inconvenience. The pictures of the beach and dock speak for themselves. Wonderful place.

Lovely lake home

The house is lovely. The lake view is stunning and the dock and beach are just right. The kitchen is well appointed and the living spaces are comfortable. The 2 master suites are great - plenty of space and great bathrooms. The location is wonderful - very close to Suttons Bay so lots of restaurants/shopping close by. Black Star Farms vineyard is very close as well - we were in town for my daughter's wedding at BSF so the house was just right for our needs. There are a couple of things to be aware of. First, there are openings at the tops of the walls on the extra bedrooms and bathroom upstairs that make privacy impossible. You can hear everything going on in the bedrooms and bathrooms. We had all of our adult children and their significant others/spouses with us - they had a good laugh about it - but it was definitely odd. Also made it hard when one couple wanted to go to bed but the lights from the bathroom/other bedroom would infiltrate their bedroom. Wasn't a deal breaker for our group but we all agreed that it was inconvenient. The other odd thing is the location of the extra full bath downstairs. It is in the middle of everything - nice bathroom - but a long way from the extra bedroom downstairs. Just something to note if you have a big group with you. We loved the house. We had an incredible time with our family over the wedding weekend. Highly recommend.
