Great stay in Sutton’s Bay

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is exactly as listed (if not even more spacious in person). Fantastic location in the heart of Sutton’s Bay. The hosts were very communicative and friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

Another great stay

This was our second consecutive summer stay at this great property and everything was just as delightful as before - such a comfortable place for us to host family and friends, and the owners are charming, kind, and were attentive to our questions and (one minor) concern. It's a sweet retreat!!

Fantastic location in a comfortable cottage

You can’t beat this location in Sutton’s Bay. A 3 minute walk to the beach and all the town has to offer. Property managers were very helpful. Only suggestion would be some cleanup and landscaping on the back deck. Not really currently usable in its current condition, but has great potential.

Great location but lacks a few things

The location is amazing. It has old house charm which makes the layout a little choppy. The house was clean except the floors need a good mop. If you are planning on cooking, it’s not well equipped. - missing hot pads, dish towels, coffee filters, trash bags, large pot etc. Not a good rental for elderly guest- steep stairs and first floor bath has deep tub which is hard to enter to shower. We did enjoy our stay because of the location and checkout was super easy.

Sutton’s Bay in July

Our family stayed here in July of 21 and had a great time! The location was perfect. Whether we were staying close to Sutton’s Bay or doing other things in the area we felt the location couldn’t have been better. We loved walking to eat out, get coffee, Ice cream, to shop, or walk to the beach and we were just a short drive to some of our favorite wineries. The kitchen was well stocked. The only reason we gave it a four is because the mattresses weren't the most comfortable for some in our party (which can be subjective) and we had air conditioning issues while we were there (the owner was aware and had a repairman come to try and fix the problem); some rooms were fine with the window units while others were stuffy. The owners were friendly and responsive to our needs and requests.. for example, we were short on bath towels and wash rags and they delivered additional sets within a couple of hours. The house was clean and well equipped.

Absolutely delightful retreat

We thoroughly adored this charming home, filled with glowing natural light and whimsical original art. The location is perfect for walking a single block to the bustling downtown and lakefront. It's also convenient for driving to other small villages nearby, or a variety of stunning recreational sites, and wineries. Yet when you get back "home", it feels like a private nest. The well-equipped house combines the charm of an old abode with great modern updates where needed, and the verdant yard/gardens are inviting from sunrise through the evening. The owners solved our single minor issue immediately. We're sad to leave!

Charming spacious home

Very solid and spacious home. A few quirks due to it being an old house (tight stairs, step up/down between rooms, light switches in odd spots). Enjoyed playing games each night in the upstairs family room (great size table) and gathered in the downstairs living room in the mornings to plan our day. Overall cleanliness leaves something to be desired. Basic spaces were adequately clean (kitchen/bath) but the blinds were very dusty and there were cobwebs in several spots. Hosts were great though we didn’t need to contact them during our weeklong stay. We love al fresco dining and ate at a large table with an umbrella on the concrete back patio each night but it was not as inviting a space as it could be. Very messy mulberry tree, and other unkempt items made it difficult to fully enjoy the patio. We did enjoy the music playing at the restaurant across the alley though. Great location and proximity to downtown shops and marina/beach. We watched different communities fireworks from the end of the pier! Would definitely recommend it but for the price might have expected a bit more attention to details.

Great location

We had a great visit, the house is extremely convenient to walking to beach, downtown. The layout has a bedroom downstairs, and 2 bedrooms upstairs. One of the upstairs bedrooms has an in-suite bathroom. The other bathroom is off the kitchen. This isn’t an issue just something good to note regarding the layout. We definitely recommend this house!

Wonderful stay in Sutton’s Bay

Family of five with three small children. Loved the house and property was great to let the kids out in the yard after a long day at the beach. Great walkable location to the beach and the rest of the town. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Sutton’s Bay, thank you Holly and Jerome!

Great getaway in a cute town

I took my teen daughter and a friend to getaway to Sutton’s Bay for a week. This house was better than the pictures. Very cute, great layout, perfect location. House was spotless and ready when we arrived. Great space upstairs for the girls to have a separate hang out room and keep their music away from me. We were a three minute walk from a dozen restaurants, cute shops, bike and paddle board rental and of course the beach. The water is so clean we could see to the bottom even way out in the bay. Our only issue all week was deciding which ice cream shop was the best choice. Since we could not decide, we will plan a return trip for more research next year.

About the host

Hosted by Holly and Jerome Smith

Host profile image
Holly and Jerome Smith are both northern Michigan natives, but they spent their formative years in New York, running some of the region's best restaurants and vinting wine. Back home in God's country, Jerome is still a wine importer and Holly manages the Mawby tasting room (best bubbles period!). It is safe to say hospitality is in their blood. It should be no surprise then that custom concierge, catering and event services are available - just inquire if interested. Otherwise, whip up your own culinary feast in their gourmet kitchen. Need help with tastings, tours, wine and shopping, local sourcing and foraging or just the skinny on the best restaurants and the local scene? They can help there too.

Why they chose this property

Both Holly and Jerome managed vacation rental properties in Leelanau county for other resort companies and after learning the lay of the land and meeting so many wonderful people, they knew their own home would be perfect for visitors. This 100+ year old Victorian has been updated and restored, complete with gracious outdoor living. Jerome's great-great grandfather was an original Suttons Bay settler, and their love for the area runs deep.

What makes this property unique

Location. Location. Location.
You will be ensconced in the heart of the charming Village of Suttons Bay, home of Inland Seas, sailing, boating, wind-kiting or just fresh water swimming, mere steps away from the beach and Marina, the TART trail, chef-owned gourmet restaurants and true UpNorth-style taverns, breweries and cider houses, tasting rooms, galleries, artisan craftsmen, extraordinary shopping, summer art and music festivals, the historic Bay Theatre... local attractions abound. And you will be surrounded by even more in the heart of beautiful Leelanau County and all Traverse City has to offer just 15 minutes away.
