Fun and cozy week at the cottage

This rental had everything you need for a perfect, relaxing getaway. The cottage is well-maintained, stocked up, and had plenty of space for my family. We utilized the outdoor space and grilled on the patio where we ate our meals, enjoyed boating/swimming on the lake, and soaked in those beautiful sunsets while staying warm by the bonfire. It was great having all of that available to us! I also appreciated the location being secluded but also being a short drive to Suttons Bay and Traverse City to do some shopping or dining out. We even chatted with the owner, Steve, during our stay and he was so helpful and incredibly kind! We would definitely stay again!

Another wonderful West Wind experience

This cabin was wonderful and exactly as advertised, maybe better. It is well kept, comfortable, fully stocked kitchen, and of course the beautiful property can’t be beat. We can’t wait to visit again and would absolutely look to book this same cabin! Thanks, Sue and Steve!

The perfect vacation spot!

Super clean and well stocked. Anticipated our every need. Comfortable beds. Loved the lake views, fire pit and beach. Have stayed in the area for almost 50 years, but this was our first time at West Wind. Absolutely had the best time and already can't wait to come back!

Great Place!

We loved our stay! Great cottage with a solid dock for our boat. Great proximity to Traverse City but far enough out to enjoy getting away from it all.

Cozy Cottage

Everything about the cottage was just as described. The weather, unfortunately, didn’t cooperate with our fishing plans. We still managed to net a large Northern Pike, a keeper Walleye and a Master Angler Rock Bass. Sighting of the Loons made it all worthwhile for me. Some troubles with the dockside electrical outlet, fortunately, didn’t cause us any issues. Shallow water in the harbor, but we figured out how to maneuver our boat and had no problems. Thank you to our wonderful host, Steve, for backing in the boat trailer for me. Everything we needed was made available to us. Awesome vacation

About the host

Hosted by Sue & Steve Rindskopf

Sue and Steve are born and raised Michiganders. Sue grew up in the Traverse City area and Steve grew up in the Detroit area. They met at Michigan State and have three adult children all living in NC. The first 25 years of marriage was in Winston-Salem, NC and our home is now back in Michigan.

Why they chose this property

This is our home away from home. Sue grew up in the area and Steve spent many summers up North. This resort is very unique in that it is so close to Traverse City and other towns, it is also secluded and away from the traffic.
