Weekend in Suttons Bay
We used this location for our launching point for a long weekend in northern michigan. The backyard is right on the Bay and had a nice dock the kids used to swim.

Enjoyable Stay!
Our stay was enjoyable! Tonie welcomed us with a phone call and was very attentive to our needs and was always willing to answer questions. The cottage was perfect and the views were great. We traveled with our three dogs and so happy that Tonie welcomed them as well. It wouldn’t have been a good trip if we had to leave our dogs home. Definitely will come back if we road-trip again in the future!
