The Lodge Chalet, just north of the village of Suttons Bay, is a cozy 3-bedroom 2-bath lodge-style home on West Grand Traverse Bay. Open-concept living room/dining/kitchen looks out to the beautiful waters of the bay. Huge windows on the waterside offer stunning views. The sunrise is not to be missed. You will want to walk down with your coffee, take a seat on the lakeside deck, and take it all in.

This home welcomes up to 6 guests. Two bedrooms are on the main level with one queen and two twins. There is one full bath on the main floor. The loft-style upper-level bedroom features a king bed and a full bathroom. Sheets and towels are included. The home also has central air. Washer/dryer.

Outdoors enjoy a huge yard that slopes down to the water. With rising lake levels shorelines will change. Right off the living room area enjoy a spacious deck with a gas grill. There is also a lakeside deck right at the water’s edge as well as a fire pit. Plenty of seating for 6. Sunrises and moonrises are a bonus here. Can you say relax?! This area is located just minutes from the village of Suttons Bay, Leelanau Sands Casino, and Omena. Enjoy the scenic M-22 drive. Make sure to visit all of the charming waterfront communities on the Leelanau Peninsula. You will find plenty of great places to dine, and dozens of wineries, breweries, and distilleries. Fun gift shops, coffee shops, and art galleries too. Make sure to visit the Eyaawing Museum and Cultural Center right down the street. Northport Marina is 8 miles from this location, and Suttons Bay Marina is 4 miles from this location. There is so much to see and do in this wonderful area.

Our rental was right the Grand Traverse Bay. There was a deck outside the house where we sat and then steps away was another deck overlooking the bay. There was firewood for us which we used to enjoy an evening fire on the beach.

We are repeat visitors to this house. It's an amazing location and the views and privacy are unmatched. Two small things I would change. 1. Needs a new lockbox for the key. We struggled this year and last with that. The latch doesn't work properly. We followed the instructions given and it just isn't simple. 2. Needs more chairs by the fire pit and needs some sort of seating on the lake front deck. There were only 4 useable chairs for 6 guests. Overall, we adore this house and can't wait to come back.

Manager Response:
Thank you for your thoughtful comments. We are so pleased that you have found your place Up North! We will remedy the chair situation at the fire pit & the deck.

Wonderful relaxing and cozy retreat.

This was our 2 year staying at the Lodge Chalet. It is located on a private lot and close to town. There were some mild cleanliness issues, but it did not disrupt our stay. I would highly recommend staying at this property.

Great Location, but the house was in pretty poor shape.

Review by Samantha R.
I would have appreciated knowing the house was under construction. The windows and walls have missing casements/frames. The bathroom towel hangers are secured and kept falling off the wall. The closet was missing a doorknob, and the vent registers were barely hanging on. Also, the second bathroom was not cleaned. There was hair and dried toothpaste in the sink and the shower had hair in it as well. Pretty gross. What made this even more disappointing is that I stayed in this rental prior to the upgrades, and a more reasonable price. For what we paid, I would have expected renovations to be finished and the house to be clean.

Review by Judith C.
My family and I really had a wonderful experience! We normally go to the Outer Banks but decided to try closer to home. The cottage was cozy and had been updated - bathrooms and windows were new (no trim around windows - dint bother us, but might others). Very clean. Beautiful view of the lake! Very close to Suttons Bay, Omena, Northport restaurants and activities and can be be in Traverse City or Leelanau in 20 to 25 minutes. We rented kayaks and they were delivered! It was awesome! Definitely recommend this cottage as well as Visit Up North Rentals - they were awesome to work with! One issue - downstairs TV wasn’t functioning properly and was replaced. One recommendation - add a broom and we would sweep the kitchen/dining area floor through out the week. Thanks for a great stay!

The Chalet in Suttons Bay

         

Review date: 2022-09-29

Review by Denise J.
The weather was rainy and cool but that didn’t stop us. The Chalet has a wonderful view overlooking Lake Michigan. We went down to the lakeshore and hunted for Petoskey Stones. The Chalet was clean and very updated. The only things I would change would be to move the outside patio dining table to the other side of the deck so the view of the lake isn’t obstructed when sitting on the couch. Also, leave instructions on how to operate the fireplace, unless it’s broken and that’s why we couldn’t get it to work. Also, provide placemats and coasters so the tabletops don’t get ruined. Otherwise, everything was lovely!

House was just as described and very comfortable for us. The only problem we had was with the remotes to the TV’s, but really not a big deal because we really was that interested in TV. We all know the area very well and love it. Perfect place to getaway with our daughters. Visited a couple wineries, did some hiking and nice dinner at Nittolo’s.

Overall fine experience. The rental is in a great location. There are not many other conveniences - particularly the kitchen is poorly stocked. No kitchen towels, limited dishes/cookware. They make it clear ahead of time not to expect much, but for the price paid, having a bit more well stocked kitchen would make a lot of sense. A lot of bugs/spiders in the house as well - it's located in the woods, so totally understand that there are a lot of bugs around, but there was a window upstairs that appeared to have a gap around it where there was open access for bugs to gain entrance. Again, not a huge issue, but for the price paid, a little more upkeep/attempt to control the bugs would seem reasonable.

Chalet was perfectly located and felt very secluded with the properly lining trees. House was comfortable and well appointed. Garbage process of having to drive it to another property was a bit odd and off putting but not enough to take away a star.

The house was clean with lots of natural light. The view of the lake from the house is amazing! We had a fire right on the water and our group saw so many shooting stars. You can hear the lake as soon as you pull up to the house. We saw a beautiful sunrise right out the window. The location is definitely the best part of the house. Our group enjoyed coffee every morning on the deck.

The Lodge Chalet is a property I enjoyed and would return to. It is good vibes, clean, totally private, on West Bay and close to Suttons. I slept well and appreciated the main living room overlooking the bay. That said, the owners are behind on updating and maintenance in a few ways that need attention, especially since it is being offered to the public. There are many upgrades to this house, but many more to go. I recommend this property, but I also recommend immediate TLC for the structure.

Very nice view. Close to several towns including Traverse City, Suttons Bay and Northport. Cleanliness was ok. Cleaner was still there at 5 pm and was busy collecting rocks from the shore before she left. The open closet in hallway to kitchen had trim missing at the top...tacky and seems to show a lack of concern for really easy to fix items such as that.

Review by Jen Y.
If you're looking to travel the Lelenau Peninsula and don't mind driving, this is a great place to stay. We were about 40 minutes from Glen Arbor and about 15 from Northport (which we love) The home was adequate and suited our family of 6 just fine, though there is no dishwasher so prepare yourself. The kitchen is adequate but does not have much for cooking which for a family of 6 was difficult. Most of the pans were scratched Teflon and we chose to use the one pot that was stainless because of it. We were disappointed that the beach was so rocky and our kids could not swim. It was also not walkable. We also felt like there was some maintenance issues that could have been taken care of when we were there, for example the lawn had very clearly not been mowed and was extraordinarily long. Overall, we had a great family vacation and this was a great crash pad after being out around M22 all day.

Manager Response:
Thank you for sharing your concerns. We will update the cookware with stainless steel this week. The bay typically is a rock and sand area and homes on the bay are private so there is no walkable beaches. You have to go to the Lake Michigan side for walking on public beaches. We have contacted the maintenance company about the lawn.

The Lodge Chalet was very much as described. It is a very nice lakeside unit with a nice open concept. The unit was well stocked, especially the kitchen. You can't beat the view...absolutely amazing from both levels. The owner should consider 'cleaning up' the beach area and bring in some sand. Also, the railings of the walkways and decks are in much need of maintenance. The outside tables are also in need of replacement. It is a good four miles North of Suttons Bay, so the location is average. But, in Leelanau County, you have to drive everywhere anyway! We do recommend this for a good relaxing time.

The Lodge Chalet on the Bay NEAR Suttons Bay

The Lodge was clean. Due to high water levels, we were not able to use the fire pit or any beach area at all while there. The Lodge is not actually in Suttons Bay, but was within a few miles driving distance. Next time we would probably look for a property within walking distance to town. Overall it was a very nice property and we had a great time.

We are pleased that you enjoyed Lodge Chalet. Suttons Bay does go as far north as the chalet and 5 miles south of the village. Definitely t This location is not walking distance. You can still enter the lake however any sandy beach is gone due to high water levels.

Review by Katherine S.
This home was perfect for bringing my 83 year old mother with the downstairs bedroom and we loved the semicircle view from there of Sutton’s Bay particularly at sunrise. The lack of beach was not a problem, we loved the deck so close to the water. It was very quiet at night. There are only screens in the window over the kitchen sink, so you can’t hear the sound of the waves or get fresh air in at night, but the insects stay out and ceiling fans and AC work when needed.

We loved the house! I don’t think anyone had 1 complaint. The house was super clean and very cozy. It was updated in a stylish way and yet we still felt like we were up north. We all loved the big dinner table. Great for playing games at night. The only thing I’d change or add would be a bottle and can return area.

Amazing cottage right on the waters of Grand Traverse Bay! Perfect cottage for our long weekend getaway! Big open common space allowed for plenty of seating and comfort in the living and room and dining room! Kitchen was big enough to allow for all our cooking needs, not to mention the grill on the deck. Located only minutes away from great food and shops in Suttons Bay, this location is surrounded by picturesque scenery! Easy drives to Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes! We had some personal issues come up and the property owners proved to be quite friendly, flexible, helpful, and easy to work with. My only recommendation would be to make property entrance more visible.

Loved the location and property. I just wish we had screens on windows/doors to feel the lake breeze. We unintentionally let in a TON of fruit flies the first night who turned out to be our guests for the rest of the weekend lol. Need to upgrade their cooking pots/pans as they re all scratched up. Blue outside chair has a crack in back. Door was left wide open upon arrival. Had to wash sheets in front room due to snot being on linen. Appreciate there being a washer and drier with soap. Would rent again, but would love screens.

We agree more screens are needed and we are working on that! The fruit flies are bad in Leelanau County now with all the harvesting going on. It doesn't take much to get them in the house. Pots and pans are being replaced. 2 new wood adirondack chairs have been added. We are sorry about the linens being soiled.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The location was great, the house was very nice and comfortable. We loved sitting on the deck near the water! The view was fabulous and felt really private and peaceful.The property lacks a little in curb appeal. Yard and outside of house needs a little TLC. Also, the neighbor at the end of the driveway is a little disconcerting. We actually had to get out of our car and move some of their junk off the driveway to get to the property. Not much you can do about that I am sure and it didn't distract from the wonderful time we had. Just thought you might want to know.

Review by Jordan B.
The location was exceptional, right on Suttons Bay with great views. We were able to anchor our jet skis right off the shoreline which was perfect. Unfortunately the home had not been cleaned very well when we arrived. We informed Up North Vacation Rentals about this and they had someone there before the end of the day who did a great job. Overall we were happy with the rental but it definitely was in need of a deep cleaning inside and out and the property needs to be sprayed for insects.

We really enjoyed our getaway. The chalet has a beautiful open living room with huge windows that face the bay! It was completely private and quiet. The staff was very helpful, kind and flexible. The kitchen, living room area was very clean. The only downside was that the bathrooms were not very clean. The dirty toilet brush was just thrown next to the toilet and plunger and the tub was not cleaned as there was a dead spider in it and many stains. I think you would get amazing ratings if you painted the bedroom downstairs and got new bedding to update the chalet to make it more homey add a few throw pillows and blankets especially for winter rentals because the amazing decks and yard is not used. Just a few touches including cleaner bathrooms would really make a difference between an ok or good rating to an excellent rating. Once again though I would like to add that the staff who helped us was wonderful even the plow guy who helped us get out of the driveway :)
4 out of 5 stars

We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. Housekeeping has been notified about the bathroom issue. We will be updating the twin bed bedding. The king and queen bedding and blankets are new fall 2017. We definitely will bring in a few things to warm and fuzzy it up.
