Quiet, Private, Waterfront - Luxury on 125 Ft. of Suttons Bay

White Fence of Suttons Bay is a truly unique vacation property. The property is a compilation of restored circa 1900 farm buildings just one block south of one of the most quaint villages in the Upper Midwest. The Village of Suttons Bay has deluxe shopping, art galleries and excellent restaurants abound. White Fence of Suttons Bay is within walking distance of it all and centrally located for touring all of scenic Leelanau County and its multitude of wineries, fine restaurants, charming villages and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park.

White Fence is a small and quiet property which has been meticulously renovated. The guest suite is artfully done with privacy, quiet and magnificent views of the bay kept in mind. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with seating areas throughout including private decks on the beach. Night star gazing is memorable. Although we love pets and children, the carriage house suites is not designed for either.

Directly across the street from White Fence is a gourmet grocery store which specializes in local produce and houses an extensive wine selection where the sommelier can describe to you the award-winning local wines. There is an outdoor kitchen area at White Fence with a charcoal grill should you decide to cook and hot plate for sautéing and boiling.

Also directly across the street, is the Leelanau Trail, an extensive biking, walking and running trail. It offers miles of scenic enjoyment. In the winter months, the Trail is groomed for cross country skiing.
White Fence was originally opened for business on July 4th, 2010. The new owners are permanent residents of Suttons Bay and our aim is to maintain the beauty and tranquility that has been pleasing guests since the beginning.

For Summer Rentals the Carriage House is only being rented as part of the whole White Fence of Suttons Bay Property. Please see our listing # 1172449 for our summer rental information. This exquisite property is the perfect location for families or couples.

Perfect Location and bonus sunrise views
Clean, cozy spot to get away. Hosts are responsive and helpful. I would definitely take their suggestion #14 on their welcome letter to the hiking trail and all the food suggestions are on par (with many walkable from cottage). This may turn into a yearly destination for us.

Anniversary Getaway
My husband booked the carriage house as part of our 50th anniversary celebration. We loved it. The location, view and design of the cottage made for a perfect weekend. I hope to be back for our 51st year-if not sooner.

Cute place in a fantastic location
The Carriage House at White Fence is a charming place for a couple visiting Suttons Bay. My wife and I stayed here several years ago with the prior owners and stayed again recently. It was just as cozy as we remembered and is in a perfect location to explore all that the Leelanau peninsula has to offer. We spent a day making a loop from Suttons Bay to Glen Arbor and back through Leland before returning. Lots of charming wineries and shops to explore and the view of the bay from the house can't be beat. When we next find ourselves in the area we will definitely look to stay here again.

Had an absolutely perfect weekend despite not having the best weather. So many things within walking distance. Quaint downtown area and some great restaurants nearby. Shirley was very welcoming and was available to answer any questions. Will be visiting again!
