Lovely Spot and Stocked House
Traveling with 3 generations, it's convenient having the space and amenities to sleep everyone and make meals. A kitchen with great appliances, mostly comfortable sleeping arrangements, and an outstanding hot tub and deck were really highlights. It's location between Sutton's Bay and Traverse City couldn't be better. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into how to make a comfortable stay for hanging out.On the downside: It's clear that this is a house being improved on the fly. Flimsy door handles, dishwasher, and cabinet doors made even newer furnishings feel aged. The deck immediately outside the master bedroom was covered in mildew. It was dangerously slick and left gunk all of your shoes/feet. The beach and dock aren't really easy to navigate - the dock is too high to be of any use getting in or out of the water or even on a boat and there's not really a great way to get past the 4 feet or so of very slick, uncomfortable rocks. Finally: The previous guests had more trash than the cans could hold. The cleaner offered to take them to the street as she was leaving, but it was an absolute downpour outside and I wanted to spare her. The bigger problem is that, without a second trashcan, the option was to either leave a bunch of bags of trash (including a couple of dirty diapers) on the side of the house, in the garage, or on the street for two days.I'm rooting for this property, but it's an expensive stay for how far it has to go.
