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. The cottage is compact but very comfortable! Furnishings are perfect and everything was pleasant. Thanks for an amazing time!

We had the most perfect stay at Moonglade Cottage. Tom is very responsive, the photos don't do justice to the beautiful Cottage and amazing view. Clean, comfortable and calm, i wish i could rate higher.

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!

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!

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!

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

This was a quick trip up North to fall back & regroup ! This place was VERY nice and centrally located to everywhere we wanted to go. We were able to bring our dog with us and that made the whole trip possible! Thanks Tom.

My wife and I had a great time at the Moonglade Cottage! Tom was so accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. The cottage was close enough to Traverse City and Downtown Sutton's Bay that there was never a shortage of things to do. Hope to stay here again in the future.

This place is a real gem! My husband and I went to celebrate our anniversary. The place was decorated beautifully, the view was spectacular, communication with the host was easy and informative. The host even left us a lovely surprise in the refrigerator - a chilled bottle of wine! My husband and I look forward to renting with him again. Thank you for a lovely time.

This was our first stay at the Moonglade Cottage, we will definitely be back! The property has all of the modern amenities you could ever need, while maintaining it's quaint, cottage feel. Communication with the host was second to none. Overall, we would definitely recommend Moonglade to anyone that is interested.

The house is very clean and recently remodeled. The kitchen had everything we needed— including both a Keurig and a traditional coffee pot. The shower looks new and is spotless. There are two bedrooms; one offers an amazing view of Suttons Bay, while the other overlooks the street. However, instead of facing other homes, it offers a tranquil view of an orchard.
The water is clear, warm, and shallow enough to stay in all day. It resembles Caribbean waters and features a soft, sandy bottom. This is, by far, the nicest water and sand off a dock I have ever experienced.
Tom is also an excellent host. He ensured our smooth check-in and check-out and even gifted us a complimentary bottle of wine! I would highly recommend this cottage over any other in the area!

My partner, son, dog and I stayed here for 4 days and my only wish is that we could’ve stayed longer. House is awesome, clean, and has high end features in the kitchen if you want to cook. Thomas was a great host and very helpful! The water is as clear as can be and my dog enjoyed jumping off the dock over and over and over again.

Tom was very easy to communicate with and was very helpful. The cottage is in a beautiful quiet neighborhood with beautiful views . Our boys loved fishing and kayaking off the dock. The cottage was very clean and nicely updated. We look forward to staying here again soon.

Our stay was fantastic! Tom was a wonderful host and left us a bottle of wine in the refrigerator for celebrating our 30th Anniversary,which was a very thoughtful touch. The cottage was very well appointed, it was so helpful to have things like cooking spray and sale and pepper for making a quick meal. the bathroom also had anything you would need and we felt like everything was thought of to make our stay a great one. The neighborhood was so quiet and close to everything, including the cute town with charming shops. We will definitely keep this cottage in mind if we return to Sutton's Bay, which was also breathtaking!

Moonglade Cottage was charming and cozy, clean and uncluttered. I thought the sq ft sounded small, but the space is well thought out and well appointed, perfect for my husband and I and our dog. The old charm of the place manages to come through the neat newer improvements. Nice spaces for enjoying the outside. Exceeded our expectations.

Our stay at this cottage was 100% positive. Everything is so clean and tidy. The kitchen & bathroom have been renovated and are quite pleasant. The many windows in the front room create a wonderful ambience and great view of Lake Michigan. We loved sitting on the back porch and watching the waves. The bedroom we slept in has glass sliding doors that lead to a private porch - sweet. The neighborhood is quite lovely and the location is close to town. The owner of the property is very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again in a second.
