Great location, with beautiful beachfront. Very clean inside. Maybe the outside could use a little TLC
M 22 traffic can be noisy at night.

Unfortunately we had rainy weather, but the few sunny days we had were spent in the water for sure! The walk into town is effortless and a nice thing to do for breakfasts and or dinners and or shopping or biking! The trail for biking was wonderful, the town was great too! Hosts were amazing. Very responsive. If any issues come up, they bend over backwards to help. As hosts they get an 11 out of 10! For those having to work on vaca, we were in the carriage house and the internet was incredibly fast! Suttons Bay was such a nice change from the hustle and bustle of Traverse, but close enough to drive there with relative ease.

Absolutely lovely property in THE best location!! The private beach, carriage house, fully stocked kitchen and beautiful outdoor spaces were just a few of the things we loved. We will be back next year!!

The White Fence was absolutely perfect for our family of 3 generations. My husband and I used the Carriage House and our children and granddaughter were very happy in the main house. There was plenty of room for joint meals, inside and out, and family gatherings! We lived on the porch with the rocking chairs and the gorgeous view of Sutton’s Bay. Mike was great at answering all of our questions before we arrived, and we appreciated the many amenities supplied. It was exactly the type of vacation we needed to end our summer!

Wedding Week Bliss
We were at White Fence for a week for our son’s wedding. The house was wonderful well maintained and in a great location close to town. The location on the bay was perfect. The private beach with chairs and kayaks was well used. The beach front may be the best beach front on the entire bay. Clean sand and easy access to the water. Would highly recommend this property and will stay there again.

Perfect way to kick off summer
Our family truly enjoyed White Fence and it’s fantastic location. We spent almost every evening out on the beach, walked into town daily and enjoyed the house immensely. Would recommend to family and friends!

Very nice house
The property is in a great location, with close proximity to the town, the marina, and the beach (both the beach on the property and the adjacent public beach/park). The property was clean and offered a decent amount of space. We would stay here again.

Beautiful Property
White Fence is a beautiful property. The location is very convenient and a short walk or bike ride to downtown Sutton's Bay, and the outdoor areas are amazing. The kids loved playing on the beach, roasting marshmallows at the fire pit, and fishing off of the dock.

Suttons Bay on the beach
The beach is beautiful and proximity to town is a huge bonus. Suttons Bay is clean and gorgeous and kayaking in the bay was a huge treat! There is also a quiet public beach next door that adds flavor to the experience. The main floor bedroom layout is a bit unconventional but overall a wonderful week with family.

Wonderful Location
Extended family stayed in booth White Fence House and Carriage House. Suttons Bay location is terrific. Walked, biked and kayaked everywhere. The new beach is beautiful and grandkids loved the beach and sand bottom for swimming. First floor bedroom layout in the main house is a little quirky but our gang loved it. Great outdoor spaces. Can be a little noisy with M22 traffic but we got used to it. Mike and Shirley were wonderful to work with. Quick answers to questions and easy to contact. One of our best rental vacations ever.

Girls trip
The house is beautiful with plenty of room both inside and outside on the multiple sitting areas. The private beach was absolutely gorgeous not to mention the lake side fire pit. The location is perfect, walking distance to anything in Sutton’s Bay. Also very easy access to the bike trail that goes through beautiful orchards and vineyards all the way to Traverse city. We had a perfect week and hope to go back again soon.

Accommodates large group/Nice location
This house is located in a convenient area where you can walk to anything in town. Lots of space to accommodate a larger group. Nice to have the separate carriage house for a couple or family with a small child to have their own space. Several outdoor seating areas allowing people to spread out as well. We enjoyed our time here.

We loved everything about our stay at this rental, views, charm, comfort and cleanliness!
This was a wonderful rental! Fantastic location, amazing sunrise views, very clean and comfortable and some very special touches made this a this rental a special one and one we will try and return to. The house itself is very charming but also updated and fully stocked with anything you might need. The kitchen was perfect for a holiday and we cooked quite a few meals during our stay. Owners were very helpful and friendly and all in all just a wonderful home and town to vacation in!
