About this house rental
Welcome to our well appointed and recently updated Suttons Bay lake home. This private wooded lake front property was purchased by our grandparents in the 1950s and we are thrilled to be able to share it with you. Every bedroom is spacious and offers a view of Grand Traverse Bay aside from the bunk room. Some of the unique ameneties are a stand alone private office space, state of the art infinity deck that comfortably seats fourteen, stamped concrete patio with underdeck lighting, ADA compliant steps that lead to the beach, comfortable mattresses in all bedrooms, high end ping pong and shuffleboard tables, regulation size Mega Slam basketball hoop with free throw and three point lines (it can be lowered to 7 1/2 feet) and a custom made cornhole game. The Step Lodge features five smart TVs, Spectrum cable package and 1000 megabit per second internet with Google Nest to enhance connectivity. Although you feel like you are secluded, downtown Suttons Bay is 2.5 miles away. The Step offers a mooring bouy to secure your boat and a Jet Dock that can accommodate two personal water craft. The Suttons Bay boat launch is located on the North edge of town. Along with the full size refrigerator in the kitchen, our guests are welcome to use the full size overflow refrigerator and freezer located in the garage. A concrete driveway was added to accomodate up to 6 vehicles. This allows the basketball court to be utilized without parked cars being an issue. Last but not least, we recently installed air conditioning and the Step has an automatic generator in the event of a power outage.

We had the best time at this rental. Communication was great and our expectations were exceeded. The host was kind enough to let us check in earlier than usual. The property had everything you could need and more! We had a large group including 2 babies 2 little kids and there was ample room for everyone to have their own space. The views were awesome. We enjoyed having fires on the beach and all the supplies was there and ready for us! We seriously could not have asked for a better place for a family trip. The property was so clean (shocking considering it is literally surrounded by sand and rocks). We played basketball, rock hunted on the beach, grilled out, sat and watched the sunrise, waded in the water.. truly a great end of summer getaway.

Step Lodge is fantastic for a group. We had three families staying at the cottage and the house was perfect. We had a house-wide ping pong tournament and loved swimming off the dock. The cottage is better than advertised! 10/10 for sure.
