Hosts are very nice and responsive. The setting is very relaxing with trees and meadows while having a water view of Sutton Bay in the distance. You are close to the city of Sutton Bay (about a mile). I definitely recommend and would not hesitate to rebook this place

Perfect place for my family's needs.

Our stay was great and this was the perfect place for my family's needs. My 5 year old daughter loved the bunk beds and there was plenty of room for my son's pack and play.

Great, relaxing visit

We had a wonderful visit. We only had a short stay, but everything was perfect. The host was quick to respond to my questions, and the place was amazing. The only difficulty we had at all was the GPS trying to direct us to the neighbors place instead. Fortunatly the addresses are well marked. It is a very relaxing property with an amazing view and is within a short distance to some wonderful places.

Had a great stay!

We stayed at this property for a weekend. We had a wedding right in Suttons Bay and this place was perfect. It was far enough off the main drag that traffic and people were not a problem. It was quiet and peaceful. There was enough spots for everyone to sleep, we had a couple in the bedroom another couple on the bottom bunk, 1 kid on top bunk and we brought a blow up mattress for 2 kids to share and put on living room floor. Perfect spot for a family to enjoy a little R&R!! THANK YOU!!!

Suttons Bay Return

The home is as listed and sits back on a low traffic road. The deck is the perfect place for morning coffee/tea and evening cocktails enjoying the beautiful view. It is also a great spot to watch the numerous birds and enjoy the dogs play fetch. Karla was easy to work with, friendly and very responsive to questions.

Quiet spot to stay

We selected this home as we were in town to run the Friends of Fishtown 5K. Our group included my mom, sister, 3 yo, 11 yo, and 12 yo children. The sleeping arrangements worked great for our group and we had all the space we needed as we mainly slept at the property. We didn't need many amenities in the kitchen as we went out to lunch and dinner but it had what we needed for breakfast. The property was clean and comfortable. I would recommend to small groups like ours looking to be close to Suttons Bay.

Short stay

We only stayed here for 2 nights. Unfortunately, we had a different experience than other reviewers. We absolutely loved the location and the view from this property. It was spacious and communication with the owner was easy and quick. However, we found the apartment to have an off-putting smell. There was also a lot of closet space with no hangers and there were leftover socks/underwear in one drawer and sand in the other.
