About this house rental

This 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home welcomes up to 14 guests during the warm months and sleeps up to 12 during fall/winter/spring when the caboose is unavailable.

Envision a private expanse consisting of 350 feet of pristine, deep water on 5 acres of secluded wooded terrain. Alongside the five bedrooms, a fully furnished railroad caboose car offers a unique recreational space, providing an exciting retreat for children or grandchildren.

Upon entering the galley-style full kitchen, ample space is available for cooking. Adjacent to the kitchen, the expansive living room affords breathtaking vistas of the bay and features a sizable stone fireplace. Stone tile and cherry hardwood floors decorate the home throughout. Access to cable TV, a DVD player, and WIFI ensure ample entertainment. The main level contains two bedrooms, with the master bedroom offering a king bed and an en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Another bedroom on this level features a queen bed, with an additional full bathroom located nearby. The upper level provides three bedrooms: one with a queen bed, one with two twin beds and bunk beds, and the last with a queen bed. A twin sleeper sofa is situated in the reading nook, complemented by an assortment of books. A full bathroom is available on the upper level.

Outside, a wrap-around deck invites guests to soak up the picturesque views. Additionally, a grill is provided for cooking outside, offering a perfect vantage point to watch the children frolicking in the yard or playing in the water. A dock offers an ideal setting to watch passing boats and brings closure to a day of activities. A fire pit is available for preparing s’mores and winding down for the evening.

This home is an idyllic location for exploring multiple nearby attractions, including wineries, a neighboring casino, shopping, dining, and various other leisure activities within a short drive. The residence's proximity to Traverse City, Omena, Northport, and Sleeping Bear Dunes makes it an ideal base. Vibrant fall colors add to the area's allure, with the village of Suttons Bay offering an array of recreational and leisure options. The home is open year-round, with the exception of the caboose, as it does not have heat or a bathroom.

We enjoyed a beautiful long weekend in Suttons Bay. This house is set next to the lake, with gorgeous views of the water. The house is surrounded by trees and makes you feel like the property is secluded. They have kayaks and a large fire pit next to the lake. Hunt for petosky stones, while listening to the Loons. There is two bathrooms on the main floor with two bedrooms. If you have someone with difficulty going up and down stairs, it makes a family gathering nice. There are three steps to get into the house. There are two refrigerators and the host has everything you would want to cook with. The house was very clean and had plenty of paper products. I thought the decor was very tasteful. The caboose is super cute and has a toilet and sink. The reason for a four star is the discrepancy in the listing regarding the bed sizes. The queen beds are only full size. I never rent a house with full size beds, due to my husband’s family being larger in height. So I was not happy to find that most of us had to sleep very close to each other. Also, the twin bunk beds are the size of camper bunks. Same with one bed in the caboose, fine for a small kid not adult. Regardless, the family had a great weekend. Thank you for the beautiful memories.

The view is amazing, the lake is, well, the lake! The whole house felt like a really homey-home. So inviting, so comfortable, so perfect! We even stayed out at the waters edge to star gaze! A 15 out of 10!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was 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: Great location. Bathrooms and bedrooms were clean. Kitchen was not the cleanest. Drawer handles were sticky and found dirty dishes in the cupboards. House is musty smelling. The biggest turnoff was the lecture the owners gives about teenagers and how they can see if you are destroying the woods via the cameras. Doesn’t set a welcoming tone and nobody wants to feel like they are being watched. Beds were very uncomfortable. For the price per night I would have expected much better mattresses.
