Charming Horse Farm Country Cottage on Rolling Hills

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.

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!

A Magical Return to a peaceful horse farm retreat

This was our second stay at this beautiful VRBO in Suttons Bay, and it was just as magical as the first. Nestled on an active horse farm, the property offers a peaceful, scenic escape that’s perfect for families looking to unwind and reconnect with nature.The owners, who live on the property, are incredibly kind, generous, and welcoming. They went above and beyond to make our stay special—inviting us to help feed the horses and even giving our daughter the unforgettable experience of trying her hand at horseback riding. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel like part of the family.The setting is quiet and serene, with the gentle sounds of horses and rustling trees creating a calming backdrop. It’s the kind of place where you can truly relax and soak in the beauty of northern Michigan.We’re so grateful for another wonderful stay and can’t wait to return again. Highly recommend this unique and heartwarming getaway!

Cozy guest house, 2 minutes.from town.

The guest house was perfect for two people. It was a quick 2 minute drive to town. We hadnt gotten any instructions for entry to the guesthouse since the owners were away, but the horse care takers were so nice and friendly, they showed us around and got us settled in. We loved the horses and the cats. And we had the most beautiful view of the Northern lights the 1st night. We would love to stay again. ininstructionson entry gotten any instructions o entry but

Early fall in northern Michigan

We had a great time at this location. It was easy to find, right on the main road along Grand Traverse Bay. The property is a working horse farm and landscape business, so there is equipment and plants around. Beautiful horses grazing in the fields is a plus. The guest house is a beautifully rustic northern Michigan retreat. Lots of wood in all rooms. The loft was somewhat difficult to get to, by way of a ladder, straight up the wall. My only complaint would be with the shower. It had low water pressure and was lukewarm. Overall, it is a great property and we will consider it as a place to stay on a future visit to the Leelanau area.
