Suttons Bay Home w/ Hot Tub & Lake Views!

Reviews

• Great house, not far from activities and sights

  5/5

  Our stay turned out great. We caught the fall foliage at its peak when we arrived and made the most of the unseasonably warm late October weather.

  The house's location was nice, just across the road (M22) that runs along Lake Michigan. It's up a long driveway from the road. Normally, I look for houses right on lakes. This house broke the tradition, but it worked out OK. Besides having to cross a somewhat busy M22 and step over a guardrail to get to the lake, the water level was low, making the shoreline thick mud. Consequently, we couldn't use the available kayaks. Bad luck.

  The house was very nice and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the open and combined great room/dining area/kitchen. It allowed all 9 of us to hang out together, eat, play games, and watch football. The beds and pillows were comfy and having so many bathrooms and showers was great. Our daughter and son-in-law made good use of the hot tub, and we all gathered around the fire pit on the balcony looking toward Lake Michigan.

  None of the sights we wanted to see were more than half an hour or so away. We went to the lighthouse; hiked at Sleeping Bear Dunes; biked the trail that parallels the lake; explored Fishtown/Leland, Suttons Bay, and Traverse City; sampled lots of cherry products; and enjoyed local microbreweries. Hop Lot for beer was great as was the Suttons Bay Ciders.

  The host was great and resolved one minor issue quickly. All in all, we had a great time!

• Great parents getaway

  5/5

  As 5 tired couples having a place with comfortable large bedrooms for all was key. It was a beautiful home and everything we needed for our fall adults getaway!

• Great home for all

  5/5

  We were 5 exhausted parents who needed a place to rest and recharge. We all had incredibly comfortable rooms which was amazing. The home had everything we needed, and the sustainability mindset of the owners was very much appreciated. The hot tub was warm and enjoyed with a glass of wine! The views of the northern lights was incredible as well. An amazing home in an amazing location!

• Good, not great

  Good but not great place; a bit overpriced, IMO.

• Great Up North Escape

  5/5

  We had a terrific time at the property. Our group enjoyed all of the surrounding activities during the day and enjoyed games, a campfire and great conversations on the deck in the evening. We would highly recommend the property and may consider it for the next time we book Up North.
