About this property

"Up north" waterfront lodge on West Bay. Spacious deck with gas grill.

The Lodge Chalet, just north of the village of Suttons Bay, is a cozy 3-bedroom 2-bath lodge style home on West Grand Traverse Bay. Open concept living room/dining/kitchen looks out to the beautiful waters of the bay. Huge windows on the waterside offer stunning views. The morning sunrise is not to be missed. You will want to walk down with your coffee and take a seat on the lakeside deck and take it all in.

This home welcomes up to 6 guests. Two bedrooms are on the main level with one queen and two twins. There is one full bath on the main floor. The loft-style upper level bedroom features a king bed and a full bathroom. Sheets and towels are included. The home also has central air. Washer/dryer.

Outdoors enjoy a huge yard that walks down to the water. With rising lake levels shorelines will change. Right off the living room area enjoy a spacious deck with gas grill. There is also a lakeside deck right at the water’s edge as well as a fire pit. Plenty of seating for 6. Sunrises and moon rise are a bonus here. Can you say relax?! This area is located minutes to the village of Suttons Bay, Leelanau Sands Casino and Omena. Enjoy the scenic M-22 drive. Make sure to visit all of the charming waterfront communities on the Leelanau Peninsula. You will find plenty of great places to dine, dozens of wineries, breweries and distilleries. Fun gift shops, coffee shops, art galleries too. Make sure to visit the Eyaawing Museum and Cultural Center right down the street. Northport Marina is 8 miles from this location, and Suttons Bay Marina is 4 miles from this location. There is so much to see and do in this wonderful area.

Great Location, but the house was in pretty poor shape.
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I would have appreciated knowing the house was under construction. The windows and walls have missing casements/frames. The bathroom towel hangers are secured and kept falling off the wall. The closet was missing a doorknob, and the vent registers were barely hanging on. Also, the second bathroom was not cleaned. There was hair and dried toothpaste in the sink and the shower had hair in it as well. Pretty gross. What made this even more disappointing is that I stayed in this rental prior to the upgrades, and a more reasonable price. For what we paid, I would have expected renovations to be finished and the house to be clean.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Manager left out some important details.
I picked this location because my family and I were attending a wedding at the Black Star Farm. The property is very beautiful. I’m not happy with some of the things the manager should have made me aware of like the bathroom sink is stopped up, the tub faucet, handles and shower head in the bathroom are rusted, the kitchen window and door frame are exposed/incomplete which left a draft in the house.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hello from the Smith's, I am writing this review and I hope it is construed as constructive and not to be posted!First, I would like to say, as we have been there 5 years in a row, we feel that we have seen some good progress with updates around the property. The one update is new windows. Although it is not completed on the inside since trim around the windows is missing. With the new windows they have screens that allowed us to open the windows if we wanted. Before, the windows were without screens and covered with spiders. The prize windows that give the fabulous view of the lake were dirty.The property is all about the view. The property has trees that line the edge and run down to the lake. The trees are producing branches and limbs that lean into the view and will soon ruin the view if not cleaned up. It is actually an easy clean up anyone with a saw could do it.We have never had problems with bugs but this year we had cockroaches inside. It was sporadic, but by the end of the visit, we knew it was an issue. Nobody wants to bring that back with them. When we got home, everything had to be inspected before being brought back into the house. As we found out, these cockroaches can also live outside. That explains why we have seen them outside around the entrance door, on my vehicle when packing to go home and even on the deck at the edge of the lake. The property was sprayed I believe after we arrived because I noticed the posted notes the next day to wait until the application dries.We have not decided to rent next year because of the bug problem.Sincerely yours, Doug and Tessa Smith
