West Bay Waterfront Home

Very nice and conveniently located house between Traverse City and Sutton's Bay, Michigan. If you want a nice property to explore the area and enjoy visiting wineries and/or cider/breweries, this house is a great option as it's right on M22 so easy to get down to Traverse City or up to Sutton's Bay. Communication with the owner Gary was always super fast. It was nice the house had a gas grill we could use to cook out.

Super cute cottage with a gorgeous lake view. Location was perfect: boat ramp, wineries, restaurants and shopping.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely house and had everything we needed to make us feel comfortable and at home. Great location with easy access to all local attractions and wineries, lovely views, many good dining options nearby, and full kitchen so we could eat at home too. We were traveling with our small dog, and enjoyed the many pet friendly options and areas all over Traverse City, including many restaurants and wineries.

We were four high school friends traveling to celebrate our 65th birthdays. First of all, the location was perfect for branching out to explore the beautiful sites around Traverse City. Nature, wineries, restaurants & shopping are all close. It is located off a very busy highway and you do need to cross that highway if you want to access the dock and sit out by the water. I want to address the issue of cleanliness. At first glance the home seems neat and tidy, but we soon realized that there were cleanliness issues and that the home needed a good cleaning. There was bird doo doo on the front porch chairs, so we never sat there to look out over the bay. The cushions were scrunched and worn down. The porch needed cleaned and we walked through spider webs to enter the house. Ok, so that kind of stuff happens and would be understandable, but the inside, the house needed the same kind of attention. The throw rugs were dirty, baseboards and windowsills were dusty and dirty, inside of the dishwasher was dirty, the sofa smelled like pets, there was spilled food on the bar stools that were covered in a long furry covering. The Keurig coffee maker was broken and the other coffee maker dripped so slowly that it was not useable. There was an inadequate amount of bath linens. The back porch/yard displayed the same lack of cleanliness & attention, so we never sat out there. All issues could be easily fixed by owner, but for these and other cleanliness issues, we would not recommend.
