    5/5

    Lovely house and setting. My only request would be to have some light blankets in the bedroom - it was way too warm for the nice comforters, but we needed more than a sheet. I know that the number of stairs has been mentioned before, but please take this caution under advisement. From the garage you go up about 6 steps to the ground level, from there another six (or so) steps to the first bedroom and bathroom, more steps (about 8?) to the main floor (2 bedrooms, bathroom, living room), about 5 more steps to the lovely kitchen/dining area, and - finally about 6 more steps to the loft, 2 bedrooms (1 small without a door), and a bathroom. The house is beautiful, but i am awfully glad I had grandchildren there to carry stuff up all of those stairs!

    We were so happy to have you as our guest. Thank you for sharing your experience at the Jefferson house and appreciate that you found the house and setting lovely. Indeed, when you are not using stairs all the time you can get a work out at the house. As has been
    mentioned before, the bonus is the privacy each bedroom has on each separate floor. Regarding blankets, they are kept separately in each bedroom closet. We just recently removed them off the beds for summer but always welcome guests to use what is supplied in the house.

    4/5

    Wonderful location, in walking distance to beach and downtown. Loved the surrounding woods with foxes playing nearby. Large living room and kitchen that made an enjoyable family gathering possible. Nice bathrooms also. Several doors wouldn’t lock easily or at all. Property could use some TLC

  • Great location beautiful views

    5/5

    We stayed over Christmas for a couple days. The house was great, perfect for our group of 9. Lots of steps to keep in mind, but wasn’t an issue at all for our group. We also loved being able to easily walk into downtown Sutton’s Bay.

  • Wine tasting weekend with cousins

    5/5

    We had a great stay at this nice home in Sutton's Bay.

    The home was clean and comfortable. The stairs were a bit much for a few of our seniors, but we managed to have a great time.

    A few suggestions to improve the property.

    The ceiling fan in main area needs a good cleaning.

    A working can opener would be a great addition.

    The knives in the kitchen need to be sharpened or replaced.

    More towel racks or hooks in the bathrooms would be a great addition.

    An air fryer would also be a great addition to the kitchen.

    From the owner: "We are so pleased to know you had a great stay at our home. Yes, that ceiling fan will be replaced. Over the years, it has become porous and discolored. We have been waiting for things to slow down so we can do some updates. Thanks for the suggestions though, and we will be adding a few more items to make our guests stay even more comfortable."

  • Cute secluded Suttons Bay Property

    5/5

    This property and location was so perfect for our friends trip up north to Michigan! Perfect size for our group, except the “5th bedroom” does not have its own separate door, so be prepared for that. Beds were extremely comfy and kitchen was well supplied! Thanks for being great hosts!
