About this property

4 BDR/3 BTH waterfront home with dock and sandy beach-great views



Summer 2024 will bring the sandy beach back to the Stone Terrace Beach Cottage. The little ones will love to get their toes in the sand, build castles and enjoy evening wood burning bonfires ideal for s'mores. The cottage has a dock (May-late September) with sunning platform and access to the blue water. A fire pit is located on the sandy lawn overlooking the water as well as a firepit on the beach.

Set on the beautiful eastern shore of Suttons Bay, allow Stone Terrace Beach Cottage to be your home 'up north'. Feel the sand and water of Suttons Bay right outside your door or enjoy a crackling fire in the wood burning fireplace. Stone Terrace Beach Cottage is available from Saturday to Saturday during the summer, and on a flexible schedule during the rest of the year. Off season weekend rates are available (see rates below)...please call/email for details.

Situated on a quiet rural road, two and a half miles from the village of Suttons Bay, Stone Terrace Beach Cottage is the ideal vacation destination with casual elegance in mind. The Stone Terrace Beach Cottage has 4 bedrooms with 2 1/2 baths, living room, dining room, and fully-equipped newly remodeled kitchen with upgraded with stainless appliances and window AIR CONDITIONING on the main level and central air for the 2 upper bedrooms!

The cottage accommodates a total of 8 guests utilizing the 4 queen bedrooms - A main level deck located off of the living room, provides a great place to take your morning coffee, and stone steps lead to the lower deck where one can sun bathe or catch up with a good read.

Out the back door is nature’s opportunity to walk, jog, bike, or weather permitting, cross country ski!! Nature abounds everywhere!! The quaint village of Suttons Bay, which plays host to great restaurants, boutique shopping, and art galleries, is just a short drive way.

Nearby attractions include Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Leelanau Sands Casino, and the Interlochen Center for the Arts. Sprinkled throughout Leelanau County you will discover charming villages, wineries, antique dealers, and outdoor recreational opportunities, including access to Lake Michigan. Traverse City is just 20 minutes away, offering 'city style' entertainment for those so inclined.

Let the Stone Terrace Beach Cottage be your home away from home for a weekend or a week!!

Features include four bedrooms: two queen bedrooms are located on the lower level with a full bath between & two upper level bedrooms with the front sleeping room having a 1/2 bath: the third 3/4 bath (shower only) is off the kitchen and at the bottom of the stairs.

The Stone Terrace Beach Cottage boasts of 1800 square feet of nicely appointed living space with 2.5 bathrooms and 100 feet private sandy beach with a sunset view over the shallow swimming bay. Indoor fireplace and fire pit on the beach. Stainless appliances with granite kitchen, washer and dryer and starter paper products provided (but not replenished during guest visit).

Beautiful landscaping and furnished outdoor deck areas. Weber gas grill. Air conditioning, Wireless High Speed Internet and pets are accepted for a fee. Great walking, jogging, hiking out the back door. Village of Suttons Bay is two and a half miles away. All the amenities of home!

NOTE: The water level is receding and the beach area is unknown at press time - I have no idea the size of the beach, if any, after the winter thaw. The fire pit will be moved to the front lawn if the water level does not permit this to be on the beach.

Beautiful views

The views at this home are beautiful! We were so happy we were able to bring our family and the dogs. The kitchen was well equipped enough for us to cook a full meal. Parts of the home are older and more worn and parts of the home are updated, but we felt very comfortable and truly enjoyed our stay. The parking is tight and the home is close to the road on the roadside. Thank you so much for the great communication and the easy check-in process and being so responsive when I had a question about checkout. Also, thank you for your flexibility in helping us find a place that works for our group!

Great stay in Sutton’s Bay

We had a great stay at this property. This is our third year in a row booking here the first week of June and it was lovely as ever. Super clean, comfortable, and the view can’t be beat. Location is excellent and communication with the property owner is always easy and quick. It might be because of the time of year we stay (week days in early June before the area gets super busy and nuts) but it’s also very quiet, which is what we’re after.

Great House on the water.

We enjoyed the house, it was very roomy and had the best views for all the fall colors. Was great to go out on dock very morning for coffee. This may sound crazy but two of my brothers even enjoyed a polar plunge!!! Crazy Right!!!! Loved everything about this place and would love to come back again. Thanks to Tom for all his help,he went over and beyond to make sure we were set for our vacation/wedding time, with family.
