Beautiful House,

What a great home for a lazy weekend in Suttons Bay enjoyed by sisters, daughter and nieces! This was our 4th annual girls weekend and this house was by far the best! Kitchen was beautiful as well as the 4 bedrooms and living room. We will be back for sure!

Sutton’s Bay Gem

Wonderful stay in this beautifully-landscaped historic home with a serene decor just a short walk to the beach, shops, theater and restaurants. Central location to wine-tasting. Great for families.

Amazing location, house needs a little TLC

Pros - amazing location, cute backyard, really nice to sit out in front porch. I would say for the cost, we were a little disappointed with the place. We had 8 people, with the house listed as suitable for 12- it would not have accommodated 12 as is given seating options. For the price, would have liked more kitchen items (only 1 spatula and 1 dish towel). One bedroom has a really saggy mattress , and you can’t run all the upstairs Ac units at once yet some windows don’t open. The property managers were very responsive to any issues. I would stay there again given the location but I would now know to bring some household items for myself.
