Fresh & modern kitchen and bathrooms, beautifully historic front porch - all the nostalgia without the doilies! Ping pong in the basement and Euchre on the front porch.

Very charming home! Great location within Suttons Bay. We were able to walk to anything we wanted to see. We had a couple of rainy days during our stay so we stayed at the house during that time which was fine with us! Great communication with the owner before and during our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Awesome house!!

We so enjoyed our stay at the house in Suttons Bay! The porch was our "place" for morning coffee and conversation! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked although we ate our all of our meals out except breakfast. We loved the location and are already planning a return trip!

Charming Old Home - Great Location for What we Needed

We stayed here for a few days due to a family wedding that was taking place on nearby Lake Leelanau. The house itself was extremely charming and had a great location with walking distance to downtown Suttons Bay. We loved sitting on the front porch and having coffee in the mornings. Perfect for what we needed!

Charming In-Town Oasis

We have a great time in the Sutton's Bay Stone House! The location was ideal to town, beach parks and biking trails. The house was very clean and we encountered no issues. The front porch was our favorite spot for games, food and relaxing. Truly a hidden gem!

The perfect location!

The Stone House had absolutely everything my group need. Was a couple blocks from town and an easy walk for shopping, visits to the water and restaurants. Had a great kitchen to cook in. A dining area for meals and games. A screened in porch for checking out the. neighborhood scene. And enough bedrooms and bathrooms for each couple to have their own space. Would definitely stay again

Lovely House

This is a charming, old house with a large front porch that's perfect for relaxing and taking in the beauty of the village of Suttons Bay. The yard and location on the edge of the village was perfect for my young kids. They had lots of room to play and explore, yet we could easily stroll into town for a coffee or ice cream. The main drawback at the house is the steep wooden stairs to the upstairs bedrooms, which were challenging to navigate with small children.

100 year old stone cottage

the property was very nice. The location was great for us as we were half way between Traverse city and Northport in Sutton’s place. We usually enjoy being on the water but for this time of year it was perfect. My fault was thinking there was a fireplace for the cold days we were there for. Would have loved a fireplace but again I did not read the ad carefully enough but the cottage did stay nice and warm!!!!! This place would have been perfect for larger families!

A charming old home in a beautiful location

Suttons Bay is a gorgeous locale, and this lovely old home matched the environment perfectly. The stone facade is unique to the area. The interior is beautifully renovated and very well-stocked. The old front porch is perfect for morning coffee and watching the sun rise. The only possible sticking point is that both bathrooms are on the main floor. The two upstairs bedrooms are comfy but the old architecture doesn't provide space for an upstairs bathroom. This might be a sticking point for some. We did not find this to be a big issue, however.
