Discover the charm of lakeside living at ‘Bayview Cottage,’ a Suttons Bay vacation rental that exudes loveliness! The waterfront home boasts 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a fully air-conditioned interior — so whether you choose to unwind indoors or out, you’ll always find a way to stay refreshed. Bury your toes in the sand of the shared beach, make a splash in Lake Michigan, or launch a kayak from the on-site boat dock. At sunset, gather around the fire pit for stories and s’mores.
Centrally located in Suttons Bay, in the gorgeous Leelanau Peninsula, this incredible property offers a shared sandy beach directly on Suttons Bay, for instant access to water activities, while also providing effortless access to town, great eating and other recreation!
Look forward to spending days on the bay fishing, swimming, boating, and waterskiing. You can even rent a paddleboard in the village and take it out onto the water from the shared dock! You'll have access to the onsite dock, but you can rent additional dock space at the village marina. Mooring offshore is available with prior owner permission.
In the summer you can hike in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park, while in the winter there's cross-country skiing at Leelanau Trail. About 30-minutes south in Traverse City, guests can ride along the TART Trail, over 60-miles of pathways for walking, biking, running, and more.
The cottage is situated less than 1-mile from the village of Suttons Bay, and is a short distance to 14 surrounding wineries and vineyards! For more adventure, Leland's historic Fishtown is 10 miles away or you can head out to explore the Manitou Islands. If you're feeling lucky, don't miss Leelanau Sands Casino just 4.5 miles away!
If you grow tired of making food in the cottage, you can take a short walk downtown to dine at any of the tasty local restaurants. After dinner, be sure to stay in the area to browse the town's unique shops.
Really enjoyed this rental. It is close to Hop Lot and all the downtown stores. We were able to leave the car home and walk to everything! This rental is right on the bay and the view is beautiful. We did not cook much at the rental but they did have a nice setup in the kitchen. Very nice rental, very clean and we hope to return!
Mostly as described. A few minor things that could be better.

Perfect location. Loved easy access to the bike path and downtown Suttons Bay. Beautiful beach.

The view was worth the money alone. The weather was perfect. The traffic was insane. I would highly recommend a blow dryer, a shower mat and measuring spoons be added. Beds and lots of towels were appreciated. Pam, the property manager, was wonderful.

I loved our location, the walk to Sutton's Bay, and the Hop Lot! I loved that our kids could go right out the door and swim. However the smell of "wet dog" inside the home is very strong, also there were hairs and dirt on surfaces, like light fixtures which makes me think the home hasn't had a deep cleaning in a while!
