Spring break

My daughter and I stayed in March for her spring break. We had our two four legged companions with us. We did a lot of hiking, shopping and eating. Enjoyed having coffee in the morning with the expansive view of the partially frozen bay. It was very cozy and relaxing on the days we stayed in. Really enjoyed our stay. Will definitely want to stay again. Very clean and cozy.

Cozy, relaxing late fall weekend

I love staying at Moonglade - this is our third time here. The occasional fierceness of the bay is countered by comfort of the cottage. Wonderful location, clean, feel like you are home. Highly recommend.

So Relaxing

We loved our second stay at Moonglade Cottage. It is a beautiful, clean little cottage. The view of the sunset is amazing and love the screened in porch to read on for those rainy days. My husband and I always have a wonderful time here and the owner is quick to communicate if anything is needed.

My husband and I stayed here for a week—such a relaxing and special place. The views of Suttons Bay are absolutely spectacular. We enjoyed the screened porch and sunsets and surrounding towns.

Weekend iat Suttons Bay

The cottage is cute and right on the bay. Take stairs down to the retaining wall patio and dock. We loved that there was no sand to get off our feet!! Very peaceful this time of year (before school is out). Perfect place for us to enjoy some R&R between family wedding activities. Enjoyed our stay!

Perfect Blend of Comfort & Nature

Our stay at Sutton Bay's Moonglade Cottage provided an idyllic waterfront sanctuary for a three-night birthday celebration. This tranquil haven is as close to the water as one can hope for, offering the ultimate calm experience. The cottage is equipped with a fire pit, generously stocked with wood, and a charming three-season room that invites you to curl up with a book. The private dock reaches invitingly into the crystal-clear waters, complete with steps that ease you into the lake for a refreshing dip. Inside, the two-bedroom abode features a well-appointed kitchen with a Keurig coffee maker—a significant hit with my partner. The quaint size of the cottage strikes a harmonious balance between comfort and encouragement to explore the picturesque surroundings. It's snug enough to provide a warm retreat after venturing into the bustling Traverse City or exploring the quaint downtown of Sutton Bay, yet it naturally nudges guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of the outdoors. Our four-legged companion, Ghost, relished in the local walking trails and was notably reluctant to return to his usual city apartment life after such an invigorating escape. Our adventures even included a trek from the cottage to downtown and back, a testament to the cottage's invitation to enjoy the surrounding nature. Taking advantage of the owner-provided kayaks, I enjoyed a tranquil paddle on the lake, further enhancing our serene weekend getaway. Wholeheartedly reccommend!

Weekend getaway

This is our second visit, and we couldn’t have had a more enjoyable time! The beautiful cottage, views of Sutton’s Bay, and our wonderful host made this another memorable trip to Sutton’s Bay! North Country Kitchen and Bar in Sutton’s Bay, the beach in Leland, 45 North Winery, Blackstar Farms, Grand Traverse Lighthouse, and Sutton’s Bay Ciders were just a few of our favorite places to visit while we were here. Thank you again, Tom, for being such a good host. We look forward to visiting again!

Beautiful Views

Stayed for two nights. The property was clean and updated. On the smaller size but didn't feel that way because it was nice and bright. The views were amazing of the water. We enjoyed sitting down by the dock at night & enjoyed a fire. Would book again in the summer months
