About this property

Private West Traverse Bay Waterfront - Sleeps 8

Private West Traverse Bay waterfront home located on a dead-end road over one mile from the traffic noise on M-22. Gorgeous sunrise view across bay to the Old Mission lighthouse. A short drive or bike ride to small town shopping and dining in quaint Suttons Bay. Twenty minutes to both Leland and downtown Traverse City. Located in the heart of Leelanau wine country.

Almost everything in the house is new within the last five years including complete remodels of both bathrooms, the kitchen, bedrooms, and the walkout basement rec room. The beach and deck receive morning and early afternoon sun with shade later in the afternoon. The dock is sunny from dawn to dark.

Beautiful private beach, dock, and elevated deck for sunbathing, swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Beach has a large fire pit and rustic seating. The beach has a small sand area for children, but the water is rocky and water shoes are recommended.

Main floor bedroom with king bed and three bedrooms on the second floor. Walk-out basement rec room with lots of seating for watching movies, playing games, and puzzles for rainy days. Full kitchen with dishwasher. First floor full size washer and dryer.

Beautiful, elevated deck with lots of seating and a table for outside dining overlooking the beach and lake. Brand new dock with swim ladder. Kayaks available for use (2 single and 1 tandem) or bring your town water toys. There is a state boat launch approximately six miles to the south and another city launch in downtown Suttons Bay three miles north.

Gorgeous house on the lake shore

Our family of four had a lovely week in this house. We ate most meals on the large deck, looking over the lake. The pebble-shore, dock, and kayaks were big hits. It was a short drive to the Leelanau bike trail trail, and I slightly longer drive to Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and many nice hiking trails. This place is a winner.

beautiful sunrises, quiet and friendly neighborhood, great family cottage

We loved spending 10 days at this cottage. It is just as the photos and listing described. It is a relaxed, comfortable cottage, well-appointed, awesome east-facing deck and fun fire pit area. Brian and Cathy were easy to communicate with and responsive to our questions. The location is great - a short drive (or substantial walk!) to Suttons Bay. Thanks for sharing it with our family!

Lovely Lakehouse Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is exactly as depicted. Others noted a smell of mustiness - we did not experience this at all. The house was clean and decorated as a family lake house, which was exactly what we were looking for. We could feel that the owners love and enjoy the space themselves. It felt as if we were staying at a friend's house - cozy and welcoming, not sterile. Great location, just a short drive to Suttons Bay, Leland, Leelanau wineries, etc.,

Nothing Better

We couldn't have asked for a nicer home or location for a family vacation, including our dog. The home was very comfortable and well stocked. The neighborhood peaceful and friendly. Our favorite memories will be the nightly gatherings around the fire and being a family. Bring a telescope if you have one because you'll get great views of Jupiter and Saturn. Moons, rings and all! Many, many thanks to Brian and his family.

Lovely cabin on the bay. Perfect waterfront cabin for a summer vacation. Everything we were looking for. Kids could walk out to the lake and safely play. Close to Sutton’s.

This is on the water - great location

We visited in fall and loved being so close to the water. We enjoyed watching and hearing the water from the deck and inside through big windows! Sutton’s Bay is a small charming town and the Leelanau area offers great places to explore, including wine tasting, beaches and lighthouses.

A Wonderful Getaway for the Family

This was a great home with an off the beaten path location. Just what we were looking for! Sunrises, thunderstorms, waves and rocks...just what the doctor ordered! Eight adults slept comfortably. Brian was quick to respond to all our inquiries.

suttons bay get away

Brian was awesome. We loved hanging on the upper deck and looking at the water. Great place if you have dogs as the upper deck is fenced in with a gate so easy access for the dogs to hang when drying off and not having to go through the house. Can't wait until next summer!
