Great place and great wines

The property was wonderful, exactly as described. A great option for a couple. All the rooms were well appointed and with enough space to be relaxing. The area is near enough to Traverse City to be convenient but far enough from the crowds there. Suttons Bay was an unexpected gem.

Great spot for a Leelanau Co getaway

We enjoyed our stay very much. A very clean, well-maintained, one bedroom apartment. Located directly behind a wine tasting room that also has a Thai food restaurant and a store. We love the location as it was central when visiting all of the wineries from mission point all the way to Northport. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Great property, super clean, charming, and well-appointed apartment!

The pics were pretty accurate, but the appeal was so much better in-person. I loved the little cheese shop and winery attached, which was a stop on the wine-tasting tours. Very clean and well-kept units and property. The owners are very nice and welcoming. I just wish we had more time to try eating in their restaurant but we were very busy wandering and taking in sights around the Leelanau peninsula. We highly recommend a stay here to come enjoy the beaches and beach towns.

Perfect Getaway!

This place was perfect for us. Fishing, food, wineries and site seeing. The rooms were very clean, very spacious and well tended to. The onsite winery and Tai resturant was ideal when we did not want to travel. I drove across the road almost every morning to fish. Late morning it was either back on the boat for the afternoon, off sight seeing and off to wineries. 4 wineries within about a mile. Suttons Bay maybe 10 min, Fishtown was only 30 min Glenn Arbor was 40 min. Staff were great very friendly and helpful. It was a great 5 days away for me and the wife. We will be back. Thank you to all the staff.

Suttons Bay Stay

It was a beautiful property in a great location. It was very clean and quiet. There is a restaurant in the building but we heard no noise from the business or smells until we actually went to the restaurant. The only problem we had was that we were under the impression that we had a room with 2 queen beds but there was only one bed. My husband slept on the couch in the living area. There was a full kitchen which was a surprise and an apartment sized washer and dryer in the pantry area. Even though the sleeping arrangements were not ideal we really enjoyed our stay. We also enjoyed a carry out we had at the Thai restaurant.

Couples weekend getaway in July

Property and location are great! The people on site were helpful but I do not believe they are the actual owners. They people on site seemed to know what was going on so we ran into no issues though the Wifi and Wifi password information provided to us was not accurate. For this we had to review the piece of paper we signed in on to get this info. The location and the facilities are clean and in a great area! The bed was hard for us. We were told the couch is being upgraded which should really help elevate the apartment. If you want a couples' getaway with a great location and ease of access to a bevy of wineries, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dune National Forest, Leelanau Peninsula, and Old Mission Peninsula, then this place is a superb choice!

Great location, clean, nice place to stay, needs better amenities and communications.

This place was at a wine tasting room which was great except the hours were short. They also had a restaurant onsite but because of their hours did not get a chance to try. Place itself appeared new. Needs to have more amenities for a stay like soap for the washing machine, more utensils etc. Communications were not good witht ht landlords as they did not give any responses to messages or any info on surrounding area.

Nice place but not as accessible as portrayed online

We needed a handicap accessible place to stay and this was close to great, but not quite. First of all, it is very small so hard to maneuver with a wheelchair. We had to move furniture around in order for my husband to even get into the bathroom. The shower is equipped with grab bars and a shower seat BUT it was soooo small that my 6’3” with serious time in his paralyzed leg could not even sit. It was very stressful as the space was just not adequate to properly meet his needs. That said, the people/owners were very kind, we loved the location, and the Asian cuisine at their in house restaurant was the BEST we have ever had!

A Perfect Place to Stay

An excellent place to stay in Suttons Bay. Very comfortable and spotless rooms. The wine tasting and restaurant on site are added bonuses. Owners are friendly and responsive. I highly recommend this property. It is close to restaurants in Suttons Bay and a short drive to Traverse City. We can't wait to return next summer.
