Booked for parents
I booked this stay for my parents as a gift. They had nothing but positive things to say about the lodging.

Very very clean rooms
We came up for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary and look at a venue for our daughter's wedding. We arrived later than expected and was still well taken care of. Restaurant on the property was closing soon but stayed open for us to eat. Our room was one of the cleanest we have ever rented, my wife and I are very picky about cleanliness and we had nothing to complain about. We would definitely stay and recommend this property again.

The pictures are accurate, I'll say that. I wasn't expecting much but there were a few areas where they lost points with me. I was working remotely on this trip and expected wifi but they provided the incorrect wifi network and password. I understand that mistakes happen but I had to reach out 3 separate times and it took over 24 hours for them to get me the corrected wifi information and then the wifi was so weak it wasn't even worth using. Nor did they acknowledge their mistake or apologize for the delay. For the price i paid, close to 1,000 for three nights, I expected the customer service to be a little better (it was nonexistent). They sell wine on the property - maybe throwing in a bottle with the overpriced room would have been a classy touch or just responding to (and owning) their own mistake in a timely manner would have been appreciated.

Just What We Needed
Such a nice, clean, quiet and well equipped rental. We were there for three days and the location was the perfect place to land for exploring the region. Oh, great wine, too!

Great Place and Location for Everything!!
Great, cozy and comfortable apartment with beautiful outside porch and the bay right across the street. Walked (uphill - great workout!) to Willow and Ciccone vineyards - other vineyards very close by. Sutton's Bay is just down the road - Hop Lot was very cool and is a must just for the atmosphere. Went to Fishtown and Glen Arbor as well as downtown Traverse City...all close by. This is a really good base point for visiting the M22 locations!

We had a peaceful and relaxing stay. Our place was spacious and quiet. Saturday and Sunday evening we were able to build a fire on the beach and just sit and relax looking out at the water. We will definitely come back.

Great location; better with a few small tweaks
Great location on M22 and the lake. Pro: Space was clean and spacious. Huge bathroom. Well-equipped kitchen and a small desk. Wonderful restaurant on site with Thai dishes and pizza. They have excellent wine, too. Not-so-pro: My wife immediately noticed a musty smell when we first entered, and it affected her asthma. She spent most of our time outside on the porch. A dehumidifier would help. Our apartment (A or 1) was dark, and there were two sets of steps from the parking area. As soon as the business upstairs opened in the morning, you could hear every word being said in the shop. And the windows by the bed face the parking lot for that business (and the highway). Finally, it seemed like the air conditioning was on some kind of timer and would shut off at night, making it stuffy and warm inside.

Long week-end to meet friends and enjoy MI wine
The VRBO property is an old dairy farm converted to house 3 separate apartments in addition to several retail spaces. We had the smallest apartment which was OK. As described in the listing however they don't tell you about the smell of the water. The water source is a well and there is a distinct sulphur smell in the water. Shower, kitchen sink, etc.

Location was in the middle of everything- 10-15 minutes from downtown traverse and just about 2-4 min from several wineries. Huge bathroom and studio style-room with touchy wifi but we really didn’t need it, cable TV had several hundred channels to choose from.

Excellent place to stay for one or a couple!
The unit I had was spacious with large bathroom. I was very happy with the location since I took my bike and it was very close to the Leelanau Bike trail. Rich was very friendly and helpful. If you have never been to Suttons Bay, there is Hansen grocery within 5 minutes of drive where I got all I needed for coffee and other grocery items. BTW, don't attempt to ride your bike to the trail from this place unless you are in a very good shape (steep hills to get there). Just park your car near the trails and jump on it. Anyway, I enjoyed my stay and surely would recommend the place.

This apartment is perfect for a getaway to wine country. It is very close to many beautiful local wineries (we criscrossed the peninsula visiting many of them) and the full kitchen is so convenient especially when trying to limit being indoors (like in restaurants) due to COVID.

Great Location
Everything went very well. We loved how centrally located the property was. And while I didn’t know what to expect from the rental being part of a larger property, with wine tasting and a gallery, everyone seemed very respectful of everyone else’s space. On a side note, we mistakenly left an AirPod when we left. The owners were very prompt in responding to us when we contacted them and made sure we got it back, which was greatly appreciated.

Very roomy apartment type lodging. Only thing missing was a peeler in the kitchen. Plenty of parking for the boat we were towing, with a state launch right across the street. Had a bonfire on the beach just a short walk across the street. This place was perfect for the lake hopping we did.

Hidden gem in a great location!
This daylight apartment is underneath the barn in the photograph, at Hawkins Farms Cellars winery. Rich was a lovely host, and the apartment was just what we needed. Full kitchen, large bathroom, and very clean. WiFi was spotty inside the apartment but outside was much better. Quick access to M-22, and across the street from a beach and boat launch. Great place to stay if you want to be out of Traverse City proper!
