About this house rental
Experience a private Lake Michigan waterfront retreat that was a highly successful VRBO for 9 years—and is now back on the market. Many of our guests returned year after year, making this a favorite Northern Michigan getaway.
This beautifully updated home offers 100 feet of West Bay frontage, providing the perfect setting to relax, unwind, and take in the stunning views. Ideally located along M-22 between Suttons Bay and Traverse City, the property is just 7 minutes from Traverse City and offers easy access to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Grand Traverse Bay, and Leelanau Peninsula for scenic drives, beaches, and outdoor adventures.
The home features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 6 guests. The main floor includes a spacious primary suite with a private en suite bathroom and walk-in shower. Upstairs, you’ll find two large bedrooms and a shared full bath—perfect for families or small groups.
Enjoy the open, updated kitchen equipped with everything you need for dining in or entertaining, along with a bright and inviting living space. Additional conveniences include high-speed WiFi, air conditioning, and an in-home laundry area.
Take full advantage of the outdoor living spaces—relax on the front porch, unwind on the large back deck, or gather around the firepit for a memorable evening by the lake.

The accommodations were fine and access to the property was easy. It’s located some distance to restaurants and grocery shopping, but not an inconvenience.
One issue we did have was access to the dock. We were lead to believe that it was a part of the property itself even though it was across from a somewhat busy road. We only learned of not having access to it only upon reading rules of the house. Fortunately, we didn’t need the dock, but it would have been nice to see the bay close up.

The home is beautiful, spacious and comfortable with everything you need. The property is also lovely, with a beautiful backyard and lake across the street. We enjoyed sitting on the beach deck right on the bay.

The house was very nice and clean and had most of the things we needed for our stay. The view of the lake was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting by the water a couple of evenings. We even got in the water for a little bit! The back yard and back deck were also very nice. We grilled out one night on the charcoal grill and had a weiner roast using the fire pit one night. The only issues we had were minor inconveniences and we did not even mention them during our stay. There is no garbage disposal which makes clean up a little more cumbersome. There is no water or ice from the refrigerator, it looks like the water line is not hooked up, this just forced us to buy bottled water and make ice since all four in our group carry iron flask water bottles. The fire in the pit was challenging to get started because the sprinkler system comes on in the mornings and dampens the wood/brush in the pit....we got it going eventually though! The traffic as others have mentioned is VERY loud and was constant during the time we spent there....this however was already expected. The property was great overall and the location worked well for us. We did a tour of the asylum in Traverse City one night, kayaked the Crystal River, spent a day at Old Mission and of course visited some wineries and other places along M22! Will definitely consider staying here again!
