Location Details
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.

Suttons Bay Cottage
1/5 The property wasn't as advertised in several ways. The cottage was very old, had a bad musty odor, electrical was very out of date with an apparent lack of GFI protection for outlets near sinks as required by electrical code. AC was only good for living area, not bedrooms. There didn't appear to be adequate smoke detectors for bedrooms as required by fire code. The deck was chipping paint and really couldn't be walked on without shoes. We were very dissapointed and left the following morning after checking in. Have not been able to get a refund on rental cost.

Manager's Response:
From the owner: Hi Larry, we are disappointed that you were not satisfied with our home. We offered you a refund for the days that you would not be staying and were prepared to just charge you for the one night you stayed there. We have confirmed with Evolve, and despite the delay, your refund was sent to you. We would also like to clarify the following;
- The property is as advertised, and the photos in the listing are accurate. They depict exactly what you will see when you get to the property.
- It does not have a musty odor of any kind.
- All of the GFI outlets have been approved by a certified electrician.
- The carbon monoxide and smoke detectors are in multiple locations throughout the house.
- Regarding the AC, this is the only point that was correct in your review, and we have rectified this by adding a window unit to keep the bedroom cool for all our future guests.
- The outdoor patio is in good shape, but it is in nature's elements, which means it gets rained on, wind-blown, and heated by the sun. We're sorry that it did not meet your standards.
We truly go above and beyond for our guests, and we are confident that future guests will have excellent stays!A lovely cottage next to the bay.
5/5 We spent a lovely week at the Bayview cottage and intend to come back. The location is perfect, with beautiful views of Sutton's Bay and a short walk to the village. The bedroom accommodations are a little unusual - you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the other - and the kitchen is a little small - but overall the property worked out beautifully for my wife and me. Loved it.

Wonderful stay!
5/5 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!
Nice Location
4/5 Mostly as described. A few minor things that could be better.
