Rustic Suttons Bay Cottage: Shared Dock & Fire Pit

Reviews

• 3/5

  Great location! Just across from Anderson Market, Lyla’s Restaurant and Hop Lot, walkable to town. Adjacent to a nice little park for kids and dogs. Second time staying at this cute basic cottage. We will stay again but I hope it will be a bit cleaner. All bedding was clean and we slept well. Floors and cobwebs were the issue but tolerable. The host was excellent and responsive to TV and internet issues.

  From the owner: “I’m glad you enjoyed the cottage’s location, comfortable bedding, and our communication during your stay. I’d like to address your note about cobwebs with a few clarifications:
  - The cottage is directly on the water, which naturally attracts spiders and seasonal insects.
  - The home is treated regularly by a professional pest control company, but some activity is unavoidable with waterfront properties.
  - I’ve reminded my cleaners to give extra attention to these areas moving forward.
  I’m happy you enjoyed your visit overall and would be glad to welcome you back again.”

  Great spot, i thought it was a little closer to the water than it was. Overall, we felt it was a pretty good value for the area. The unit had all the basic essentials that you need. We'd stay there again..

• Great cabin for a fall weekend getaway

  5/5

  Right next to public beach that was empty in early October. Right across street from Hop Lot, great place for drinks and watching football.

• Suttons bay is amazing

  5/5

  I kind of panicked after reading 1 bad review but the location is amazing. Cabin is a bit tight, layout a bit strange and outlets are hard to come by, but all those things are an after thought once you are there a few hours. The view is amazing, beach next door is great and we never had an issue with noise or a crowd. Walk to town, walk across street to grocery store, and best of all is Hop Lot brewery across street.. Best biergarten in the country. Place was clean, had all the things you need. I caught some lake trout and grilled it while enjoying a beer looking out over the bay. Absolutely amazing location and place to stay.

• Totally hoodwinked!

  1/5

  Do not be deceived!! This is a shack! And even during the day it is so dark inside. But the worst part is how dirty it was. My daughter and I immediately got a headache and I started wheezing as soon as we entered the cabin. There is mold everywhere! It was clear they tried to mask it with glade but it did not work. This property is right next to a public park and beach. It is not private. It is not directly on the beach as pictured.
