I cannot say enough good things about this house. The house was incredibly clean, spacious, and the back decks with the view on Sutton's Bay were simply stunning. Small details made this stay exceed our expectations - there were enough paper products which isn't always the case at rental houses (Paper towels, kleenex, etc), flashlights left in each bedroom which my kids loved playing with in their room, the use of the kayaks and paddleboards with plenty of lifejackets for all ages, the firewood in full stock for nightly bonfires overlooking the bay....I could go on and on. Our family truly enjoyed the stay, and we thank the owners and the rental manager for an absolutely wonderful vacation. If you're looking for the place to stay near Sutton's Bay, this is it. One thing you will want to bring with you is water shoes, as the water in the bay has lots of large rocks. When we stayed in August, the water was about waist high, perfect for swimming with my 2 & 4 year olds. During our time, we drove to both peninsulas, saw the Grand Traverse Lighthouse and the Old Mission, visited plenty of wineries and breweries nearby, and spent time in the nearby towns including Sleeping Bear Dunes, Sutton's Bay, Traverse City, North Port, Leland/Fishtown, and Cedar. All of these areas were 30-45 mins from the house. You will not regret your stay here, and we will certainly be back. :)
