Perfect spot on Sutton’s Bay

We spent 2 weeks at this charming cottage on Sutton’s Bay and loved every minute! When we weren’t lounging on the deck or enjoying the beach and lake- we were walking to town for shopping/dinner, playing pickleball on the public courts nearby, taking a bike tour through the local wineries or taking long walks on the TART trail. This cottage is close to all of it! It is very comfortable,clean and well stocked and the owner was a pleasure to deal with. We would definitely rent this cottage again!

Just what we needed!

After a very long travel day, we were so happy to arrive at this wonderful cottage. The owners provided everything we needed for a relaxing week. It's really hard to describe how beautiful the location is on Suttons Bay...can't be beat!!! You can actually watch the sunrise and the sunset...gorgeous! We had the opportunity to explore the area (Northport, Leland, Glen Arbor, and Sleeping Bear Dunes) but mostly just wanted to hang out at the cottage to swim, kayak, and rest. Would love to come back some day.

Wonderful family getaway

Windrush cottage was a perfect spot for our yearly family vacation. Close proximity to town, and a beautiful beach out front. Karin was responsive and easy to communicate with. We will be back next year!

stunning views and a great location

This is a magnificent property. It’s was perfect for us. It’s a 2 min drive into town where you will find a variety of good places to eat and shop. It’s also a comfortable walk into town as well. The location is perfect. The views from the house and the back deck are stunning. The owners are great. We had no issues whatsoever- we highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Rick & Karin

We're not good at talking about ourselves. However, we know people who are good at it. Anyway, here goes... our Windrush Beach House has been in our family for many generations and is a real jewel. Enjoy!

Why they chose this property

Very few cottages in Suttons Bay have a sandy swimming beach with no rocks and we are lucky to be one that has a beautiful beach when lake levels are down. We are also an easy walk to town.
