About this property

Beautiful Cottage on the Water of Pristine West Bay

  • 100 feet of private beach in a quiet and exclusive neighborhood area. Wake up to spectacular sunrises. Look out towards Power Island(Once owned by Henry Ford). At night, look out over the water to see the lights of Traverse City in the distance.

    This fully furnished newly remodeled cottage with large windows for your unobstructed greater than 180 degree panoramic water views. For even better views we recently installed all glass railings on the deck. Other recent upgrades include new deck furniture and full house air conditioning. You are only 50 feet from the water (10 steps down). Every room has a view of the water. The kitchen is open to the living room which allows exceptional views as well.

    The cottage is immaculate. Our renter customer feedback surveys in the last few years have rated 'cleanliness' as 'outstanding' by 100% of our renters, 'location' as outstanding by 90% of our renters. In addition, 100% of our renters indicated 'our web-site description was accurate' and 100% said that 'they would consider coming back and renting from us again'.

    Each bedroom has a queen bed and the living room has a double size futon and an extra couch. WiFI is included.

    The cottage is 6 miles south of Suttons Bay and 8 miles north of Traverse City. This cottage is located on a small side street away from any main road. A convenience store is less than a 5 minute walk. Perfectly located for the many activities of Traverse City and Leelanau County. Enjoy the beach, swim, boat, water ski, fish. A public boat launch is less than 1 mile away. Enjoy wine tasting at the many wineries only minutes away.

    Several golf courses are nearby, one is located less than 10 minutes away. If you prefer live entertainment and gaming, the Leelanau Sands is a 12 minute drive away. The paved Leelanau trail (15 miles long) is great for hiking and biking is 1 1/2 miles away. The Vasa trail is a 25 minute ride away. Great Dining and shopping is also just minutes away.

    Enjoy the many fall and winter activities. Fall activities include color tours, golf, or wine tasting at the numerous nearby wineries. Winter activities such as downhill and cross country skiing, snowboarding, sledding and tubing, snowmobiling are all nearby.

The hosts were excellent and ensured we had everything we needed. The property is everything it said it would. We loved our stay. Being on the water was so relaxing with spectacular sunrises. The location was ideal to get to where we needed to be. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Only wish we could have been there a few weeks later to see the leaves change!

Perfect Guesthouse!

My husband and I could NOT have enjoyed our stay more! Duane and Vicki were amazing hosts and the location and amenities were spectacular! It was exactly the view we were hoping for and so much more! The deck was perfect for relaxing and the cottage had everything we needed to be comfortable and relaxed. Can’t wait to go back.

Enjoyed our stay. Property was neat and well furnished. Nice location with lovely lake views. Very relaxing which was just what we were looking for. Duane was an excellent host and the only thing that could have been better was the weather. Oh well, can't have everything. On our list for revisit.

Wonderful Week on the West Bay

My Wife and I had a wonderful week at Duane and Vicki’s place. To start with, the location and views were fantastic with it sitting right on the water of the West Bay. We spent a lot of time sitting on the deck taking in the views. The guest house was very comfortable and stocked with all the needed basics. Duane and Vicki were very gracious hosts, and you can tell they care very much about their guest’s experience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Fourth of July Week

Duane and Vicki were reachable, responsive and friendly hosts with a nice property. The cottage was very clean and well-kept. Nothing appeared worn or stained or outdated. Cottage had a fresh and vacation-y feel to it. Photos are accurate, however, it seems like the waterfront may have eroded some since pictures were taken, as there wasn’t enough room to use the fire pit as we would have liked during our week - too near the water’s edge to fit chairs. Overall this was a good value and a pleasant stay.

Best moon views on the bay!

We loved our time here. The cottage was very clean and well maintained. Thoughtful little touches that were so welcoming. There was a basket of snacks when we walked in, the fridge had a pitcher of filtered water and there was ice in the freezer. A fresh sponge in the kitchen and new bar of soap in the bathroom. The kitchen is tight if you have more than one person in there but it was definitely well stocked, even with small appliances. There was a listing of places to eat, shop and see while we were in the area. I have vacationed in this area all my life and this cottage had THE BEST views of the moon I've ever seen. We were graced with bright beautiful views almost every night.

Lovely place and location.

The cottage was nicely furnished, very clean, and comfortable. The view from the living room of the lake is lovely. It is just a short drive into Sutton Bay's, which is a charming little town. I would certainly stay here again.

Amazing stay. Amazing place

Vacation rentals allow for an experience from time to time and this place certainly fit the bill. We probably spent more time just lounging around the property and enjoying the AMAZING views than any stay in recent memory. We’ll be back for sure!

This was the perfect location to explore the Leelanau peninsula and surrounding areas. And the house itself was the perfect place to relax and unwind in front of picture-perfect views of the Grand Tranverse Bay. We definitely hope to return!
