Stunning Views, Perfect Location!

Could not ask for anything better! The house was a great size for our girls trip (but would be perfect for a larger family or even two families since the downstairs was its own separate space), and the views were spectacular! We did not want for anything - fully stocked kitchen, toys and gear for the lake, comfortable beds/linens/pillows, wonderful outdoor living options, amazing location! I can’t say enough positives about this rental and will seek this property out again in the future!

Perfect girls vacay location!

The house was clean, smelled fresh, all appliances worked, beds were comfortable. The house is located in a great area so we were able to go south into town and also north to explore a little. It was a perfect week and I would definitely stay at this property again! Some people may find the traffic from M22 too loud, but after a while, we didn't even notice it.

This is our second year of staying at this waterfront home south of Suttons Bay. The owner provided kayaks and life jackets which were used multiple times each day. The house is very clean and inviting. My grandchildren enjoyed playing the games on the shelves. The kitchen has everything you need for a vacation stay,

Easy Access to All The Fun

The Waterfront home had beautiful views, especially from the expansive upper-level deck and wonderful dock with easy-access stairs to the clear, clean and waist-high - shallow for over 300 feet - lake. We built fires every night in the fire bowl to enjoy the moonrises and bountiful stars.The early-morning sunrises were absolutely stunning. The house is well-equipped and does have a cottage-like feel. Situated on M22, you do contend with traffic noise, but with a location halfway between Traverse City and Suttons Bay, it is a great spot to see and do so much.

Perfect Vacation!

We have stayed at Lee's wonderful lake home three years now. It has everything we want: dock for kayaking, two decks for relaxing, fire pit. There is no amenity needed that is not stocked. The beds are comfortable. Not only is the house clean, but it decorated so lovely. The location is perfect for day trips. We visit many small towns, wineries, restaurants, bike trails and dunes. Lee is a great host; although we find that we don't even need to reach out to her since every detail is covered. The first year we had questions about the area and she was always gracious and quick to respond. Before finding this place, we stayed at a couple that were lacking. This one is a gem! :)

Nice cottage

The waterfront home with cottage charm was a comfortable stay for the week. We enjoyed the lovely views of the water, the great deck overlooking it, and the open windows that let in a lot of sun and the view. The bathrooms were recently redone and are very nice. The home is right off of M22 and we were not prepared for how noisy the road is at night, and did detract from the peace and quiet of going up north. The basement is damp for anyone sleeping down there, and we had to get the propane tank filled for the grill and pick up more toilet paper and paper towel for our stay. Communication with the owner was very responsive, and there were a lot of board games and water toys that made our stay more fun with kids!

The kitchen had everything we needed, the house was stocked with all the essentials and the amount of water sport items was more than expected!

Perfect spot for families!

We had a wonderful stay! The two floors were perfect, we had a floor for grandparents and a floor for our family with the kids. The water was clear and shallow and fun for everyone to wade around. The water toys were a blast, we made extensive use of the kayaks, water matsl and stand up paddle board. We also had a lovely swan visitor. Great location between Suttons Bay and Traverse City. Stunning view of the bay. We loved every minute and would definitely return!

Our stay at the Bay

Our VRBO was absolutely fantastic! The layout of the home as well as being right on the bay was the perfect choice for us and our friends. The distance to downtown was far enough away that we felt the charm of the bay but close enough to travel to all the fun downtown sites to explore and enjoy. The home was very clean and was supplied well with extras to have fun if we just wanted to stay, enjoy the dock and water. recommend this VRBO highly.

Wow! The back of the house has two lare decks facing the water and is just gorgeous! House is beachy and super cute and very clean. Lower level is perfect for a family with kids. Location to TC and to wineries is awesome. Only downside is that it is on a busy street so those sleeping on main floor had some traffic noise (white noise on your phone might be helpful). All in all, loved it!

Beautiful Lake Side Escape

We had a wonderful week on the bay. The house is well put together and well stocked with quality kitchen equipment, comfortable beds and couches, and an abundant amount of towels, beach towels, blankets etc. all for a convenient and cozy time. The lake view from the balcony and downstairs porch cannot be beat. The dock with a ladder and stairs is perfect for getting in the water to swim or launch kayaks and paddle board which are provided with the house along with other water gear. The new bathrooms are great as well and the upstairs and downstairs set up gives ample space for everyone. Lee was very responsive but also mostly let us be which is our preference and even is mailing back an item I foolishly left behind.

Lake vacation

This was a wonderful house for us. It slept five comfortably could have slept more but there would be less privacy since only three “bedrooms”. The house was clean and well stocked with cooking supplies and storage containers. Perfect lake access off the backyard with slightly rocky/mostly Sandy bottom and great swimming. We had access to two kayaks, a SUP, a lily pad, a gas grill, an anchor, and used everything! Only downsides are, when the AC is on to make it comfy upstairs, the downstairs is freezing, and there is constant traffic noise from M22. However, being on M22 was also great since it was so easy to get to Sutton’s Bay, Leland, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Traverse City. Lee was very responsive amd accommodating. We will definitely come back to Daybreak!

Daybreak is a beautiful property with a wonderful lakefront view of the sunrise. Having our own dock, paddle boards, and kayaks available was wonderful. The water is very shallow so the kids were able to go quite a ways out without problems. The house is well-kept, the new bathroom remodels are excellent, and we all enjoyed a very relaxing week. Lee is very responsive and took care of any issue we had right away. I highly recommend renting this property!

Loved our stay!

We came up north as a group of girls to explore the Traverse City area and check out the wineries. Our rental was perfectly spacious for the 8 of us and we really enjoyed spending time on the downstairs deck (the weather wasn’t quite warm enough for hanging out in the water). Would recommend this place to any groups similar to ours for sure. Very clean and perfect for what we were looking for!
