Best View

We loved our stay at Willow Winery. The cottage was charming with many historical features such as the master bedroom door. It has ample outdoor space to drink in the view as well as the wine. The beds were comfortable and the hosts were very generous with their wine, supplies and advice. An extra bonus was a personal tour of the winery which we loved and certainly started our trip off right! If I had any suggestions it would be to say there is no shower upstairs in the loft bedroom, and no dishwasher if you were staying longer and intended to cook every night. Also if you are not very mobile the walk way up to the house is steep and may be a problem. None of this kept us from having a wonderful time and we will most certainly be back. .

Michigan by way of France

We enjoyed our trip immensely thanks to the unparalleled view of the bay, sweet French style cottage, and Tracy’s wonderful recommendations for restaurants and activities. She ensured my husband and I enjoyed ourselves and was so thoughtful to bring games and treats much to the delight of our children. We have loved sharing the incredible wines with our friends. Cheers to next year!

Incredible Stay

This is SUCH a special place to stay. The house itself is gorgeous and spacious with a very well-equipped kitchen for anyone who loves to cook. The winery is stunning and you can't beat the views of the lake. One of our favorite moments was laying out on the grassy hill stargazing late at night - the skies were so clear we were able to see Saturn with our binoculars! We had the best wedding weekend we could imagine and are already talking about coming back for anniversaries. Thank you Tracy for being an amazing host and going above and beyond to make sure we had a good time.

Beautiful location & friendliest hosts!

Our bachelorette party group loved our stay at Willow! Our whole group kept commenting how Willow Winery had the prettiest view compared to everyone else & the best wine, which Tracy and Harry loved to treat us with! They were so friendly and accommodating the entire time. It’s even prettier than the pictures show!

40th Birthday Retreat

What a fun way to spend my 40th birthday. House was great for my girlfriends and I… amazing view that I could not get enough of… Grand traverse bay, the moon, the vineyard… loved it! Definitely a great work out to get up and down to the house but all worth it for that view! Tracy is the best, very accommodating and welcomed us with a wine tasting and her son took our stuff to the house, very thankful for that! All needs were met, and everyone had a great time! The private off site beach was perfect for a lazy afternoon. Highly recommend if you love great views and great wine!

Once in a Lifetime

This was hands down, the most incredible rental I’ve ever experienced. It was indescribably beautiful and unique. Tracy is by far the most kind, thoughtful, and wonderful host/human you’ll ever meet. I could go on for hours about her. The “from the vines to the wines tour” was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen! We loved every second of our stay. And i cannot wait to return

Spectacular view!

The view and location of this property is next to none. It’s the most adorable little cottage on a winery with views of a lake. It’s a magical experience to sit outside and enjoy. We truly loved everything about the atmosphere and set-up, fantastic! Tracy provides little extras like hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, laundry soap, etc. We had plenty of towels with spa robes and slippers too! I would definitely recommend staying here. Only a few little things to consider: The wifi just doesn’t work. Kitchen pans, utensils, and things are sparing. The window coverings for the master let in a lot of light and more importantly heat. The upstairs bathroom doesn’t have a door 😳. The trash situation is peculiar, you have to transport your own trash down to the road vs. putting the can closer. The driveway is really difficult to manage, slippery stone vs normal gravel on a steep hill. They need new gravel and to offer a golf cart or something. None of the issues would prevent me from staying again though

Family Getaway

Our family spent 4th of July weekend at Willow Winery. The vineyard is gorgeous! We had a relaxing weekend hanging out on the patios at Willow and visiting the nearby towns of Sutton’s Bay and Leland. The whole family enjoyed the from vines to wines tour. It was very informative. . Tracy and Harry are very accommodating hosts! They answered all of our questions and were very passionate about their wine. I would recommend a stay at Willow Winery if you get the chance. You won’t regret your decision.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at the Vineyard VRBO! The owner, Tracy, could not have been more thoughtful. She really made us feel like special guests. The home and property are absolutely stunning! So convenient to both Traverse City and Sutton’s Bay. We loved the view as we drank coffee in the morning and again at night with a glass of wine. Highly recommended!!

A slice of paradise

The views from this stunning property can not be beat!! The house is beautiful, well equipped and clean. Tracy and Harry are very welcoming and great with communication. They were harvesting grapes while we were there. Being able to get a behind the scene look at wine making was really cool and a very unique experience. One minor warning: it is a steep trek up the gravel drive from the parking area, so pack accordingly 😊Perfect location and great hosts .. we highly recommend staying here!!!

One of a kind vinyard getaway!

We had such a nice stay at the Grandview 2 @ Willow Winery. The setting was gorgeous with a well cared for French Villa surround by grape vines and beautiful views out to to Grand Traverse Bay. Our whole family was blown away! The location was situated between Traverse City and Suttons Bay. Traverse City is the much bigger of the two offering its lake front water park, shopping, restaurants, fudge shops, and other attractions. Suttons Bay is smaller and quieter, but has some nice restaurants, cute shops, and a small beach front. We were also within easy driving distance for a day out at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore with a stop at Glen Arbor; another cute resort town. We found the owner very helpful in communicating with us, sharing information about the local area, and even offering a behind the scenes winery tour! I would definitely recommend this house for a relaxing, quite "pure Michigan" getaway!
