Charming Suttons Bay Cottage w/ Shared Waterfront!

Escape to the lake with a stay at this vacation rental cottage in Suttons Bay. This waterfront hideaway is the perfect setting for a trip Up North, with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and a comfortable air-conditioned interior. Spend summer days steps away from the Lake Michigan shoreline, where you can relax on the sand or make a splash in the water. In the evening, retreat inside to prepare dinner for two in the full kitchen, followed by roasting marshmallows over the shared fire pit. Romance awaits!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom: Full Bed | Additional Sleeping: New Sleeper Sofa

After a day on the lake, retreat to Cumberland Cottage for some quality downtime. Lounge in the living room, where you can watch your favorite shows on the flat-screen TV, surf the web with complimentary wireless internet access, and cool off in the A/C thanks to the newly installed mini-split air conditioning unit.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare delicious meals at home with modern appliances.

Breathe in the fresh Michigan air on the patio, featuring 2 Adirondack chairs, a gas grill, and a picnic table. Roast marshmallows and share stories around the fire pit by the lake or take a refreshing dip in the lake from the dock shared with the other cottages on the premises.

When night falls, curl up on the full-sized bed in the master bedroom which features an en-suite bathroom.

-- 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!

Just steps from your back door rests the sandy shore of Lake Michigan, where you can enjoy swimming, wading, fishing and boating. When you want to get out on the water, take a sailing trip with Inland Seas Education Association. 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.

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.

Adventurous guests will adore traveling to Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes to try climbing the dunes, or flying a kite in the strong winds!

Hit the blackjack tables when you visit Leelanau Sands Casino offering table games, slot machines, live entertainment, and dining at Dex's Restaurant.

A 30-minute drive will take you to Traverse City, where you can rent a bike and cruise along the TART Trail. With over 60-miles of pathways, you can run, bike, or walk your way through the scenic trails.

Suttons Bay is located in the heart of Michigan wine country, and you'll be able to tour the various wineries in the area including L. Mawby Vineyards, Suttons Bay Ciders, and much more.

Unbearable Noise
This cabin highly over priced for location literally 40 feet from one of the busiest summer roads in Michigan, M22. Five a.m. to midnight it never stopped!! Could not sit at patio table and hold a conversation. The Michigan 12 axle tractor/trailers back and for hours all day added a whole new dimension to the above.

Great area!
The cabin is walking distance to downtown and steps from the lake. It is the perfect location for day trips up and down the peninsula.

Cabin/dhack in suttons Bay
Advertised as being "charming" , not. It is shabby, small, constant traffic noise from M 22 . We left after 2 days of an 8 day reservation.

We were very pleased with the accommodations and appreciated the assistance of managers.
The process was very easy in renting this place. Access to the property was made easier with help of the managers. Everything at the property was just as described. Thank you. We will work on next year when it gets closer to time.

Suttons Bay Visit
Great location, small waterfront access. Very convenient for us. There is some road noise but after sunset once the campfire was going we didn't care.

Only 2 choices
Since my only 2 choices are "Loved it" and "Not really", I pick Loved it because there is no place better than M22 and the general location is good. The cabin is tiny but clean and worked OK for us but wow, the traffic noise is incredibly loud and goes on all night long. Since this is basically the only way into Suttons Bay, there is a lot of industrial-type vehicles that go by. It will keep you awake, even if you close all the windows. I have a few other minor issues that are not deal breakers for me but things to know if thinking about this cabin. They left us 4 bath towels for the week. There were 3 of us so we had to use the same bath towel for a week...a bit long for me so replacing towels or letting us know to bring extras would have been helpful. The grill needed to be lit with a match but there were no matches in the cabin...it would have been nice to have that but proximity to Hanson's Market meant we could pick some up (we decided to use the oven instead). There are several windows without screens so you either have to keep them closed or deal with the bugs. All that said, other than the almost deafening noise, the location is good....walking distance from most of Suttons Bay and the beach access is close.

Wonderful Location
I stayed at the Cumberland Cottage, and the location couldn't have been more perfect. We were a stone's throw away from the water and had our own little fire pit. Traverse City is 15 miles away and Suttons Bay is walking distance. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Great location, but....
This adorable, just renovated tiny house-like cabin seemed too perfect. But it is literally 30' from M22, the main highway up and down the Leelenau peninsula, so the traffic noise was just too much, even with the windows closed and the a/c running. Plus the double bed has a footboard, which makes it really hard for a tall person to rest. We were there two weeks, but left a day early. But the location is really great, right at the edge of Suttons Park, 1/4 mile from the Village, laundromat, grocery, great dining, church, beaches, cherries, great sunsets, and so much more. We loved it until we realized we couldn't sleep for the restricted bed and the noisy rumbling traffic. Maybe a week would be better.

Upgrade
We're supposed to stay here, but the property manager upgraded us to a larger unit because this one was in the process of being updated. We had a chance to look at this cottage and discovered it would have been really crampt for three adults. The picture shown on HA is outdated. The walkway is under water. Suttons Bay is a gorgeous place to stay. We hope to return to the Leelanau Penisula.

Excellent
Excellent response to problem we had with wasps by entry door. Moved us to adjacent cabin and exterminator arrived in morning. Cabin moved to recently renovated and nice while retaining "cottage" charm of past days. Beautiful spot with the bay and Suttons Bay one of the premier places in MI, or anywhere. Will return.
