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.

Great Location! Comfortable Apartment!

This apartment had everything we needed. We love having a fully stocked kitchenette for breakfast. The location is great since it was close enough for trips to Traverse City and close enough to Suttons Bay for our favorites bike trail, L Mawby and Hop Lot.

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 place and wonderful hosts! We arrived late on a Friday evening, and Rich hooked us up with some tasty spring rolls since most restaurants were already closed. The apartment is in a perfect location, clean, and provided all the required amenities.

We enjoyed our stay in the apartment. The barn beam ceiling was an unexpected and intriguing surprise. The setting was very private with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. The Thai restaurant located on the premises was absolutely delicious.

This home met all our needs for our anniversary getaway to Traverse City. It was the perfect location on Leelanau..the attached Thai restaurant only increased the value of this booking. The food is so delicious! The apartment was so very clean, neat and tidy. We instantly felt at home. Salve and Rich were such hospitable hosts. We can't wait to stay again!

Great location and beautiful property

My husband and I had a wonderful stay! The owners told us about a private beach across the road. We went down there and had it all to ourselves the afternoon that we checked in. I appreciated the signs asking us to take off our shoes in the bedroom and we were nicely asked to leave our bikes outside. You can tell the owners are proud of their property and we appreciated the cleanliness and hospitality. We will definitely be 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.

As advertised. Check in and out were easy. Unfortunately, we couldn't take advantage of the on site Thai and pizza place. They were sadly understaffed for the week of the 4th. Maybe another time.

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.

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.

Quiet outside of Traverse City

Although 15 minutes from Traverse City, it is also right on M22 so very easy to navigate. We didn't spend much time in the room since we were there to see the sights. We missed the restaurant as it was closed whenever we would get back so it was not a noisy distraction at all. The room is around the back so you aren't bothered by any of the winery and restaurant traffic. A DVD player would have been nice but plenty to watch on cable when we got back from our busy days. It's small but clean and just what we needed for our stay. Thanks for an enjoyable weekend!

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!
