About this house rental
This guest house is at the center of our 30 acre Gentlemen's ranch, one mile south of Suttons Bay and 1/2 mile from the Bay. The address for our location is 1624 South West Bayshore Drive (which is M-22), Suttons Bay While there is not a water view unless you are on top one of our hills, the setting is an idyllic location with panoramic valley and hill views. This house has a warm natural all wood interior with beautiful artwork, yet all the modern amenities such as wifi and satellite TV with multiple movie channels.
The grounds are professionally landscaped and maintained by the Landscape Architect owner.
There is a large open area that includes a wrap-around leather couch and a loft with two beds along with a separate bedroom with a queen-size bed with an exceptional quality mattress. It is important to note that the only access to the loft is a straight up and down ladder. Because of this if you have kids younger than five or adults older than 40 or so (depending how spry you feel) the loft is probably not for you.
There is plenty of room to park any toys (campers, boats, trailers) right on the property. The owners have a 26 foot motorboat and other water toys, so arrangements could be made for their use. If there is a need to stall your horses, or if you want to ride a horse or two, those arrangements can be made as well.
On the property is a large barn, a small barn (both for horses) along with indoor and outdoor riding arenas. Attached to the indoor riding arena is a viewing area with a pool table, bathroom and laundry.
At night, there is a firepit area to warm up on the cold Northern Michigan nights and we are far enough away from any city so that the panoramic star views are incredible.
We are only 1/2 mile away from the Suttons Bay to Traverse City trail and you could ride bikes/horses snowshoe/hike/cross-country ski in any direction from here and see wonderful water vistas and orchard/hill/valley views.
We are 30 minutes away from the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and the Homestead Resort that has skiing with hills that border on Lake Michigan.

Our family stayed in this great little guest home on a horse farm for our niece's wedding close by. Couldn't have been a better spot for us. Our teenaged boys loved the loft and the grounds were beautiful to take a stroll around when we had a free minute. Host was awesome to deal with and everything was as advertised. We will be back when we visit the area again and hope this rental is available.

What a beautiful working horse farm with a great guest cottage and gorgeous grounds. The cottage has one bedroom but also has a loft with two beds for the younger generation. Host/Hostess were most accommodating, friendly, and happy to answer all questions. Location is very close to the village limits of Suttons Bay on M 22 and we had an easy ride to the Suttons Bay/Traverse City bike trail, which was paved and relatively flat the entire distance (15 miles). There was also easy access to nearby golf. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and quaint little towns such as Leland, Glen Arbor & Empire.

We loved our stay here! Debbie was extremely welcoming and helpful and even introduced us to her beautiful horses. The barn cats were even friendly! The guest house was clean and had everything we needed. Debbie also gave us some wonderful recommendations on where to go to make our exchange student’s first trip up north a memorable one. Thank you so much and I really hope to visit again!
