-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Twin Bunk Bed | Living Room: Sleeper Sofa

This cottage has been recently remodeled with nautical decor and modern amenities, including knotty pine tongue-and-groove paneling and authentic salvaged shopping vessel light fixtures!

Cooking is a breeze in the fully equipped kitchen, featuring brand new cabinetry and all the necessary appliances you need to whip up a delicious family feast.

In the knotty pine sitting area, you’ll find a plush sofa, leather armchair, and flat-screen cable TV. Feel free to stay connected by using the wireless internet access!

After a day on the bay, refresh in the full bathroom walk-in shower. Comfortable sleeping arrangements can be found in the 2 cozy bedrooms or in the living room. The master bedroom has a full bed, while the second bedroom features a twin-over-twin bunk bed, and 2 additional guests can sleep on the pullout bed in the living room.

The cottage's exterior amenities are sure to keep you relaxed and entertained during your stay. You can host a bayside barbeque on the gas grill and serve at the outdoor dining area, spend evenings gathered around the waterfront fire pit or simply enjoy the dock and village beaches!

-- THE LOCATION --

Centrally located in Suttons Bay, in the gorgeous Leelanau Peninsula, this incredible property offers a shared sandy beach directly on Suttons Bay, for instant access to water activities, while also providing effortless access to town, great eating and other recreation!

Look forward to spending days on the bay fishing, swimming, boating, and waterskiing. You can even rent a paddleboard in the village and take it out onto the water from the shared dock! You'll have access to the onsite dock, but you can rent additional dock space at the village marina. Mooring offshore is available with prior owner permission.

In the summer you can hike in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park, while in the winter there's cross-country skiing at Leelanau Trail. About 30-minutes south in Traverse City, guests can ride along the TART Trail, over 60-miles of pathways for walking, biking, running, and more.

The cottage is situated less than 1-mile from the village of Suttons Bay, and is a short distance to 14 surrounding wineries and vineyards! For more adventure, Leland's historic Fishtown is 10 miles away or you can head out to explore the Manitou Islands. If you're feeling lucky, don't miss Leelanau Sands Casino just 4.5 miles away!

If you grow tired of making food in the cottage, you can take a short walk downtown to dine at any of the tasty local restaurants. After dinner, be sure to stay in the area to browse the town's unique shops.

Suttons Bay 'Bayview Cottage' w/ Deck & Gas Grill! Reviews

Great Location in Sutton’s Bay

Overall, we had an amazing week in Sutton’s Bay. This cottage has the absolute best location if you have kids. It is right next to a public beach/park that also has a playground. Our kids really enjoyed playing there, and we loved being able to sit on the deck in the morning while they ran to the park to play— all still within eye shot! We loved having the dock and fire pit! This cottage also is a very short walk to town and to Hop Lot Brewery. There is also a great grocery store right across the street. We loved being able to walk or bike around. I would also say the kitchen was adequately stocked; there was plenty of fire wood; and we really didn’t need for anything. On the negative side, the cottage is more rustic than I expected. There were quite a few bugs, especially in the bathroom. They weren’t gross or scary, they were just outside bugs. I felt like I was camping? I also think it could use some updates (new carpet!). Again, it was all totally fine, and really didn’t affect our week, but it just was different than what we expected. That said, for the price, you truly cannot beat it. Just know that it’s rustic and absolutely perfectly situated, but it’s not the Four Seasons :)

We had a lovely time.

The Bayview Cottage was perfect for my wife and me. It was clean with a nice view of the water. It is also very close to restaurants, shopping, and groceries. It was what we had hoped for, and we had a pleasant stay.

Perfect long weekend getaway

This was our first time to northern Michigan and we loved everything about our trip. This cute cottage was in a perfect location. Perfect size. Walking distance to downtown Suttons Bay and Hop Lot Brewery. Great location for visiting Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Leland, Northport, Traverse City and Mission Peninsula. This cottage is on the lake and gorgeous sunrises were right out our front porch. The owners provided great communication. We can’t wait for our next visit!

Great Spot to Relax

My husband and I enjoyed sitting by the water each day while reading and having our coffee. The views are very nice. I liked being within walking distance of the shopping and dining in Sutton’s Bay. The park was right next door, but it was never crowded and everyone was pleasant.

Great location, but stinky

This is at a great location, very close to town. The place, especially the bedroom smelled bad and was dirty. The bathroom wallpaper was pealing, stinky carpet, dirty couch, dirty kitchen, disgusting bed. Would not rent again, however the area is amazing, the people are great. The property manager for this property is very sweet, so if you must just bring lots of febreeze!
