Excellent location. Clean,roomy cottage with beautiful artwork and unique hand built tables . Can’t say enough about this wonderful cottage!
Comfy beds too!
We had a wonderful time, in large part due to the cozy setting, which featured a beautiful view of the bay. The amenities were great, whether we were sipping our morning coffee at the breakfast nook, or sipping wine while relaxing in front of a fire. Will look to stay here in the summer next time!

Great Stay!
We had a great week! Loved the cute cottage, the spectacular views, and the quaintness of Stony Point. Kids played on the beach almost every day (great that it was shallow).
Very clean, well-equipped, very welcoming, easy to access, and best feature is being directly on the water with a sandy beach, deck and fire pit! We loved our stay! Washer/dryer in the bathroom is another plus.
Had a nice stay in Suttons Bay. Enjoyed a campfire down on the beach. We were within 30 minutes of everything we wanted to do. Bed was too soft for us, but location was excellent.

Great winter getaway
I’ve stayed at the house twice - both times in winter. It’s beautiful looking over Suttons Bay - lots of diving ducks. The wood stove makes the place cozy! Great location and wonderfully quiet in winter months.
We had a great week! Loved the cute cottage, the spectacular views, and the quaintness of Stony Point. Kids played on the beach almost every day (great that it was shallow). Definitely will return!
This was the perfect place for our small couples’ get-away weekend. Wood stove was amazing and kept us warm, the view was spectacular, and the location couldn’t have been any better. The cottage was spotless, communication was great, and overall we just had an amazing weekend!
We had a great stay. Check in/out was easy and the house was clean and tidy. Even though it was 15 degrees outside, there is a breakfast nook in the kitchen with a full view of the bay, and we spent a lot of time there enjoying the view.
One thing to note is that the bed was quite stiff, which we didn't like.
Love love love the view the gentle waves the ambient color of the water the overall peace Tranquility ducks flying over the water sunsets Chrystal fairy dances on the water. We plan on returning and highly recommend this Utopia
The cottage was amazing. The location was perfect; very convenient to downtown Suttons Bay and the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. The cottage was very modern and updated. The owner was very responsive and accommodating to a special request. The property was exactly as advertised. The only thing of note is the water is very shallow so you had to walk out quite far to go beyond waist high.
Great amenities, cute and cozy, everything we wanted for our stay.

Quiet Cozy Getaway
House was exactly as described, nicely updated and very clean. To top that off, it had a beautiful view and was quiet and comfortable, and close to everything we needed. The house was the perfect size for the two of us. Enjoyed the variety of fireworks display across the bay on the Fourth.

Suttons Bay Stay
Perfect location. Quiet and calm lake living only a short drive from Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, wineries, etc. The view from the deck (and the kitchen) is exceptional, the perfect start and conclusion to each day. We booked off a winter picture of the lake view-it's twice as amazing now.
The cottage is what we expected: quaint, functional, safe, some updates in kitchen and bathroom, washer & dryer on-site, cute bench seating in kitchen looks onto lake. It's definitely a "sleeps four", 2nd bedroom is tiny, but plenty of room for the two of us or a family.
The outside could use a little T.L.C. You're going to spend most of your time here on the deck enjoying the lake, but the furniture is a mishmash of chairs, a table, and a chaise lounge (that needs it's old cushion replaced) clearly just pulled out of the shed without any cleanup. Same for those by the water. A quick wipe down of the deck (and everything on it), pull a couple weeds/clip some branches, maybe relocate the grill closer to the deck (we didn't bother with it), and you have an incredible space.
That aside, we had a great time and the cottage and on our trip. You cannot beat the location and that view!
