Lovely location but…

This was a great location and owners were very responsive. The decor was lovely though the space does have a significant mold issue. My allergies/asthma struggled with that and we couldn’t spend much time there other than to sleep. Again - while it’s lovely, if you have allergies may be a challenge to stay here.

Great location to wedding venue

Location was perfect. Walk to everything in Suttons Bay. Log weekend stay for a wedding at a nearby barn venue only 7 minutes away. The studio was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. More space than expected for the two of us, really nice new shower! All amenities were great. Host was wonderful. It was fun to walk to local restaurants for meals, the shops were high end, and the lake provided incredible views and hikes. We loved this stay.

Centrally located Buzzard’s Roost

The Buzzard’s Roost was centrally located to all the areas we wanted to visit from Northport, Leland, Suttons Bay to Traverse City. We visited the area to rock hound and celebrate our 26th anniversary. I was especially pleased that we were only a short drive to Leland. Parking directions were spot on and check in was a breeze. Perfect size for two people that needed a place to rest at night!

The Buzzard’s Roost was very clean and well kept. It was a perfect location for our trip and what we had planned. Very easy to find and within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and gift shops in town. Would definitely stay there again if we get to that area in the future.

Cozy and Quiet

We came to the area for wine tasting and a weekend of relaxation. We are so grateful we chose Holly & Jerome's property. Holly's responsiveness was gracious and immediate, every single time I asked a question. She even arranged for Jerome to go buy a tea kettle when I asked about whether there was one in the unit! Instructions for accessing the unit were clear and the walk into town was just a few blocks - very easy. The unit was well-appointed and had everything we needed and that you'd expect a hotel suite to have (hair dryer, coffee maker, soap & shampoo) plus an extra treat left in the fridge for us: a bottle of bubbly. We had a lovely time!

About the host

Hosted by Holly and Jerome Smith

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. 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 that the adorable recently added little studio attached to their own home (which is now their latest personal project) would be perfect for visitors. This 100+ year old Victorian was purchased by my aunt as a pied-a-terre for her to come visit us and escape the summer heat in Washington D.C. where she had some mysterious position with the CIA. It has a great location in the heart of Suttons Bay with easy access to all the amenities the village has to offer visitors. 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.
