Lovely cottage. We really enjoyed our mornings on the front porch drinking coffee and watching the comings and goings. The proximity to town and other attractions on the peninsula was excellent. If we are up in this area again, we would definitely stay here.

Only positive is location. We had to have “repair people on 3 different occasions as dishwasher was broke, new smoke detectors installed, stingy on garbage bags and mice in attic behind upstairs bedroom rendering upstairs unusable. Owner has elderly parents managing place. Even workman said owner needs a real manager.

Very charming home! Great location within Suttons Bay. We were able to walk to anything we wanted to see. We had a couple of rainy days during our stay so we stayed at the house during that time which was fine with us! Great communication with the owner before and during our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Loved this cozy house. Great stay! One disappointment.. the twin beds were smaller than standard twin beds, so that was a challenge for our tall friends who used that room!

Awesome house!!

We so enjoyed our stay at the house in Suttons Bay! The porch was our "place" for morning coffee and conversation! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked although we ate our all of our meals out except breakfast. We loved the location and are already planning a return trip!

Charming Old Home - Great Location for What we Needed

We stayed here for a few days due to a family wedding that was taking place on nearby Lake Leelanau. The house itself was extremely charming and had a great location with walking distance to downtown Suttons Bay. We loved sitting on the front porch and having coffee in the mornings. Perfect for what we needed!
