Great spot for a simple getaway.

Small but cozy, and it was within walking distance of town. Even with the rain, we still had a great time just hanging around the cabin or one of the local restaurants/pubs.

Quiet rustic cottage close to beach and town

We had a great, relaxing weekend at this property. The cabin is in a great location, with a private beach, dock, and an incredibly short walk to town and to Hoplot Brewery. It's a charming and quaint little place, but is overall very rustic and definitely a little old. The place is clean, but there is some wear and tear, especially in the kitchen. Great value considering the cost of properties elsewhere in Sutton's Bay.

Time together

Property was as described. Clean and adorable with no frills. We had a nice gas grill and a fire pit for dinner and relaxing. Beautiful view of Bay while eating. Bike trails were across the road, we had a relaxing time.

Weekend stay

Just a long weekend get away. Cute little cabin. Love the fire in the beach. 45th parallel restaurant in town has great food and service! Across the street at Mundo... not so much. Definitely recommend these cabins!

Wonderful Stay

My family spent a week at the property and had a fabulous time. The location of the cabin is wonderful! We were close to the private beach, a public beach and a playground for the kids. It was just a few blocks to the downtown area and very close to the bike trail!! I would highly recommend this cabin!

Perfect location

We had a great stay for the week at the Cedarwood cabin. It's an awesome location on the bay and perfect for families with small kids with the playground right on the beach, dead end street, and walking distance to downtown Suttons Bay. There were a few minor details that would have made our stay 5 stars. We were not aware that there wasn't an oven, no biggie, but we had bought some frozen pizzas for quick dinners. Also, having a set of grilling utensils, a doormat to brush off our shoes, and a broom to clear the patio of sand and debris would have been helpful. I would also have some higher wattage bulbs or better choices of lighting/lamps since its a dark wood interior. A funny detail that was a bit annoying, we had an excess of pillows. All the throw pillows looked nice when the bed and trundle were made up, but finding a home for them when the beds were in use just added to the clutter of all our luggage and belongings. Since its a quaint two room cottage, having 17 decorative pillows to move around was a bit much. Again, not a huge deal, but a little annoying having a stack of pillows taking up precious room. We travel a lot, so these were just some things I found to be lacking that would be easy fixes for future renters. All in all, we were very happy and we will definitely consider staying at these cottages next year!

Suttons Bay Cabin

Great area to stay in Suttons Bay. Everything around can be made in a day trip adventure. Cabin was great! Just big enough for the 4 of us. Lake Michigan was just a few yards away from our front yard. Will definitely stay there again. We had a Great Time as always in Michigan. So Beautiful and love the summer temps and crisp clean air!

Was an overall nice stay in a petite cabin for a week

We stayed in the 'Cedarwood'. Cabin was perfect for the two of us and our 1.5 year old. Right next to a small public beach with a little play ground perfect for our daughter. Was quiet and shaded. Only things I would have liked was a couple extra blankets and a change of sheets for the bed since we did stay just over a week. The bed was nice and soft and the AC worked great and it has a nice tv. The bathroom was great and I loved the vanity. Had a walk in shower, EXCEPT the shower curtain was to short and water leaked everywhere whenever you turned the water on and had to be cleaned up every time. Made for a fall hazard for the little one. Other than the leaky shower and needing extra blankets it was absolutely great! I'd stay again for sure.
