About this property

Your eye is caught, and your senses overwhelmed, when you enter The Step Lodge

Welcome to our well appointed and recently updated Suttons Bay lake home. This private wooded lake front property was purchased by our grandparents in the 1950s and we are thrilled to be able to share it with you. Every bedroom is spacious and offers a view of Grand Traverse Bay aside from the bunk room. Some of the unique ameneties are a stand alone private office space, state of the art infinity deck that comfortably seats fourteen, stamped concrete patio with underdeck lighting, ADA compliant steps that lead to the beach, comfortable mattresses in all bedrooms, high end ping pong and shuffleboard tables, regulation size Mega Slam basketball hoop with free throw and three point lines (it can be lowered to 7 1/2 feet) and a custom made cornhole game. The Step Lodge features five smart TVs, Spectrum cable package and 1000 megabit per second internet with Google Nest to enhance connectivity. Although you feel like you are secluded, downtown Suttons Bay is 2.5 miles away. The Step offers a mooring bouy to secure your boat and a Jet Dock that can accommodate two personal water craft. The Suttons Bay boat launch is located on the North edge of town. Along with the full size refrigerator in the kitchen, our guests are welcome to use the full size overflow refrigerator and freezer located in the garage. A concrete driveway was added to accomodate up to 6 vehicles. This allows the basketball court to be utilized without parked cars being an issue. Last but not least, we recently installed air conditioning and the Step has an automatic generator in the event of a power outage.

Sutton Bay Retreat
Great location, very inviting home, lots of room for seven adults and a toddler with excellent outdoor entertaining space. Perfect Getaway for the family, steps from Grand Traverse Bay and a short drive to all of the Leelanau peninsula's attractions.

Beautiful, peaceful, so well equipped! Definitely will be rebooking
Family oriented…something for every age to connect with! Comfortable accommodations with quiet, peaceful views of the lake. Everyone in our extended family enjoyed their stay…ages 3-79! We also enjoyed highlights of lake towns surrounding this beautiful home.

Location location location!
Had an amazing large family vacation at the Step Lodge! You are 15-20 minutes from little day trips when you want to venture out. When you choose to stay in the house is well equipped for making large meals, playing basketball, shuffleboard tournaments (host even left instructions), ping pong and bags! You can tell the thoughtfulness, time and energy put into making this a wonderful place for all to enjoy.

A relaxing home with a view
Our family had a great week. The owner was a pleasure to work with. The house is updated and extremely clean. The kitchen had everything you can think of. The bedrooms were set up nicely and the beds were comfortable. The view from both balconies were breathtaking and the view from the dock was even better. We really enjoyed all the amenities and we are definitely coming back. Thanks for the memories
