Can’t wait to come back- treasured family memories

Tracy and Erin’s house was the ultimate place to spend a week away with family in our favorite town, Sutton’s Bay. The walkability to town as well as hoplot couldn’t be beat. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed- the hosts truly thought of everything! The house was spotless and had plenty of room for our family to relax. There was even a hot tub to relax in after a long day of shopping, eating and splashing in the water. The sandy beach, views off the dock and clear waters are what truly made this place so special. We can’t wait to continue to spend our vacations here at this beautiful house and continue to make family memories to last a life time.

Idyllic lakeside vacation

Our multi generational family stayed in this lovely home just minutes from the main town area of Sutton’s Bay. The location is perfect with Hansen’s market 2 minutes away and Hop Lot brewery just down the road. We could bike from the house to the TART trail and also to our favorite ice cream shop in SB. The house is in pristine condition with all the amenities for cooking and lounging around. The private beach and amazing dock setup is the best we have seen in 15+ years of summering on Leelenau. We hope to be back again before too long.

Perfect beach house!

This place was perfect for us! Not only is the location ideal, but the home is impeccably clean and decorated in high-end finishes. The layout is thoughtfully designed to provide one-of-a-kind lake views, and open floor plan, and plenty of privacy for ourselves, 2 adult daughters, and their families. Lots of outdoor space too, including a nicely groomed, sand beach which was great for the kids. An easy walk to Hansens Grocery Store, Hop Lot, and downtown Suttons Bay. Surrounded by wineries where we spent too much money! The TART bike trail is nearby which was a real plus for my daughter and son-in-law. We've already booked again for next year!

Home Away from Home

This was our fourth time spending a week at The Beach House with our family of 10 (ages 7yo-85yo). As always, the home and property were welcoming, tidy, and comfortable. Erin and Tracy are wonderful hosts and immediately responsive to any inquiries or needs. Our family looks forward to this week at their Suttons Bay home each year and certainly plan to return. For those not familiar with Leelanau Peninsula, it's a treasure and worth visiting at least once in your life.

Amazing Stay in Sutton Bay

We stayed at this beautiful home the weekend of our son's wedding at Black Star Farms. The home was exactly what needed for our family. The home was clean and the rooms were perfect for all our adult children and their significant others. The location was close to the venue and downtown Sutton Bay. We enjoyed the sitting out on the dock as the sunset and the fire pit on the beach. We will definitely be back.

Another Wonderful Week!

This was our fourth year of staying at Tracy & Erin's wonderful house and everything was perfect as usual! The house was exceptionally clean upon our arrival. The inside layout fits our family for activities with the grandchildren, and having meals together. The location is ideal with easy access to their beach and fantastic dock/pergola over the water. It was another amazing week in northern Michigan and we can't wait to return.

The Beach House Delivers Again...

This was our third year staying in The Beach House for our annual family vacation in Suttons Bay. We are family of 10 ranging in age from mid-80's to kindergartner. The home and grounds are beautifully kept, well-appointed with large community spaces for family meals and movie nights as well as plenty of private nooks for anyone who wants some peace and quiet. I whole-heartedly recommend this rental for families or friends who want a comfortable, updated waterfront home with a lovely private beach and dock.

Beautiful sandy beach spacious clean house

The house was amazing and the pictures were accurate. Starting outside the house has over 100 feet of sandy beach! No rocks, just sand out as far as you can walk. Multiple seating areas on the dock and beach as well as a fire pit (stocked with firewood!) You do have to cross a road but it is a small two lane residential road and not very busy. The house has a front deck overlooking the bay with table (seats 6) and umbrella . Sunrise was beautiful, sunset was blocked slightly. The back deck is very private and has a hot tub, (very clean) and table with umbrella (seats 6) and another large seating area. It was nice to sit in the back when it was windy some days. The house was extremely clean and well stocked. The kitchen was modern with plenty of dishes/glasses/silverware for a large group. Also plenty of pots, pans and glass dishes for cooking. The kids wing has a half bath right near it and bunk beds with a trundle and a fold out couch. Adults could sleep on bunk beds very comfortable. All mattresses were very comfortable and had plenty of pillows and great bedding. Near the front door/foyer is a gorgeous full bath (shower) with modern fixtures. The downstairs master is the largest room, also modern bathroom (bathtub/shower). Upstairs (wooden stairs slightly creaky) there is a master (bathtub/shower) very roomy and modern. There are two other spacious rooms upstairs and a separate full bath (shower) at the top of the stairs. This upstairs bathroom also has a washer/dryer in it. There is also a washer/dryer on the way to the kids wing. All TV's had roku and the wifi was good throughout the house. The house is 1 minute from Hop Lot brewery and 2 minutes from downtown Suttons Bay. Easy 15-20 minute drive to Traverse City. The homeowners were very responsive and I would highly recommend the house!

Family lake house in Suttons Bay

This was our second year renting this property and we were just as thrilled as last time. A spacious, lovely home designed for a large group with generously sized community spaces as well as small nooks and corners for those desiring a bit of privacy. The back patio, front deck, private beach and dock are each well-appointed with comfortable furniture and wonderful views. Our family of 10 spanned three generations and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay at the Beach House.
