Outstanding trail side home near TVC and Suttons Bay
One of the best stays we’ve had. Beautiful and thoughtfully outfitted home with all the amenities of a high-end hotel. Fantastic location and setting. Close to all the area attractions. Cannot go wrong staying here, and Charlie is a gracious and super responsive host.

The house was perfect. As a family of 5, we had plenty of space. It had a cozy feel and had everything you would need. The kids loved the ping pong table and foosball. We even used the firepit one night. The host was great at answering questions and responded quickly. The beds were super comfortable. We were worried about the twin bunk bed set up, afraid they would be too small for our 19 y.o. But they were bigger than expected, and he fit perfectly.The location is convenient. Suttons Bay is between Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and Traverse City. So, it wasnt too far to get to either spot to sightsee, dine, etc. If we nake it back to thr UP, would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful House, Great Location
We enjoyed everything about staying at the house. I'll point out some highlights below.
The house seems to be recently remodeled and was well done.
Very clean
There are so many amenities and little touches around the house that make staying here great.
Quiet location but very close to wineries and restaurants around the peninsula.

Great stay at lovely house
This house is beautifully located in the farmland outside Suttons Bay, right off the bike trail and convenient to Lake Michigan, restaurants, and the grocery store. The house itself is clean and attractive and had everything we needed for our family stay, including coffee, bottled water, a bottle of wine and some snacks. We loved the fire pit and s'mores-making supplies! The bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely designed and laid out and there were lots of common areas for hanging out. We would definitely stay here again!

Great trip up North!
Lovely and clean house! Enjoyed cooking a couple dinners on the grill! Near to golf, boat launch and wineries. Easy to drive to many near-by cities/towns. Enjoyed the near-by trail for daily walks. We had a couple fires in the evenings. Fun time for all of us! 😄😄

This was great for our family reunion in Sutton’s Bay. You can literally access the TART trail right off the back yard! Charlie was very responsive when we had some minor issues. Snacks and coffee were a nice touch. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Great Place to Stay
Our family (husband, wife and 2 small kids) very much enjoyed this house. It was perfect for what we were looking for, as it provided a clean, newly remodeled, impeccably furnished home for our family to stay in. Everything was new and the owners did a great job on the furnishings. The game room was a nice touch in the garage and the outdoor patio was perfect for our evening meals (no bugs surprisingly!) The only thing we wish was included was a fire pit for evening bon fires and s’mores. As far as location, being right next to the trail is awesome and its easy to get to either downtown Sutton’s Bay or further west activities like Lake Leelanau, Leland, etc. I’m sure wine lovers, I.e. visitors without small children will absolutely love the location as there’s probably 30 wineries within a very short drive. Speaking of small children, the only downside is the house is on a pretty busy highway, although it is set back some with a yard separating it so it’s not a huge deal, but you do obviously have to pay close attention when they are outdoors.
Would recommend this house to anyone and we would gladly stay again!

Wonderful Home!
The home is immaculate, comfortable, and private. The owner was helpful and accommodating. We use VRBO very often, and this was one of my better experiences. My wife was delighted with the kitchen and found it very well equipped. Plenty of yard space if you have children, and the backyard connects directly to a bike path. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a ping pong and foosball table in the garage. My only request is that the owner adds a fire pit somewhere on the property. Overall this place is an A+
