-- THE LOCATION --

Centrally located in Suttons Bay, in the gorgeous Leelanau Peninsula, this incredible property offers a shared sandy beach directly on Suttons Bay, for instant access to water activities, while also providing effortless access to town, great eating and other recreation!

Look forward to spending days on the bay fishing, swimming, boating, and waterskiing. You can even rent a paddleboard in the village and take it out onto the water from the shared dock! You'll have access to the onsite dock, but you can rent additional dock space at the village marina. Mooring offshore is available with prior owner permission.

In the summer you can hike in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park, while in the winter there's cross-country skiing at Leelanau Trail. About 30-minutes south in Traverse City, guests can ride along the TART Trail, over 60-miles of pathways for walking, biking, running, and more.

The cottage is situated less than 1-mile from the village of Suttons Bay, and is a short distance to 14 surrounding wineries and vineyards! For more adventure, Leland's historic Fishtown is 10 miles away or you can head out to explore the Manitou Islands. If you're feeling lucky, don't miss Leelanau Sands Casino just 4.5 miles away!

If you grow tired of making food in the cottage, you can take a short walk downtown to dine at any of the tasty local restaurants. After dinner, be sure to stay in the area to browse the town's unique shops.
