Great trip up North!

Lovely and clean house! Enjoyed cooking a couple dinners on the grill! Near to golf, boat launch and wineries. Easy to drive to many near-by cities/towns. Enjoyed the near-by trail for daily walks. We had a couple fires in the evenings. Fun time for all of us! 😄😄

Great stay at lovely house

This house is beautifully located in the farmland outside Suttons Bay, right off the bike trail and convenient to Lake Michigan, restaurants, and the grocery store. The house itself is clean and attractive and had everything we needed for our family stay, including coffee, bottled water, a bottle of wine and some snacks. We loved the fire pit and s'mores-making supplies! The bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely designed and laid out and there were lots of common areas for hanging out. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful House, Great Location

We enjoyed everything about staying at the house. I'll point out some highlights below. The house seems to be recently remodeled and was well done. Very clean There are so many amenities and little touches around the house that make staying here great. Quiet location but very close to wineries and restaurants around the peninsula.

Amazing Place to Stay

This little home is absolutely adorable! If I could have bought it from the property manager I would have. The communication was very quick and efficient and the owners ensure your stay is nothing short or wonderful. We will be staying again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Charlie Leiby

Hi, My name is Charlie, my wife Cynthia are excited to share our family cottage. This house was originally built by my grand parents in 1953. We purchased the house from our family in early 2020. Our goal was to keep this house and property in our family and share this with others. We started off the renovation by adding an addition which is the master suite and bath. We have replaced the roofing, siding, windows, exterior doors, electrical, plumbing, heating & cooling including AC. We also removed all the interior walls, changed room & wall locations, installed all new insulation, drywall, paneling, beams, doors, kitchen, appliances, bathrooms ect.. Everything in this cottage is new. We know you will love your stay here.
