We booked our stay because of the Leland Fall Frenzy. Our stay in Suttons Bay was 100 times better than anything Leland had to offer. Suttons Bay was clean, sales staff at the stores were friends and welcoming, the bartenders and wait staff were folks you want to be friends with. Food was delicious.

We were surprised at how spacious our apartment was. We were very comfortable; the bed was comfortable, loved the rockers and bathroom was spacious. We even had a view of Suttons Bay and watched an amazing sunrise one morning. The location was even better than we thought. We lived our stay. (Two things I will note for future guests; the bed is very high off the ground and you do access the apartment up the stairs from the outside.)

Good location for cycling the Tart Trail to Traverse City 33 miles round trip. North Country restaurant & bar and street traffic Noise can be Overwhelming. Restaurants, movie theater, ice cream shop all within walking distance.

The rooms were clean and in good shape.You needed a step ladder to get into the bed.The kitchen faucet had been leaking for a long time, very bad shape needs a new one.The bushes around the whole building needed some severe trimming.I would go back again,if these issues were corrected.Rick Wieber

Fantastic location in the heart of Sutton’s Bay. Every restaurant is within walking distance, less one sandwich shop. Ditto the shopping, beach, marina, library, movie theater, coffee shops, book store, bakery, farmer’s market, TART (biking/walking) trail access, ice cream…Nearby, although better by vehicle (or bike), is Hansen’s - a great little grocery store, HopLot Brewing, a laundromat, and etc.! SB is a great little village with much to offer and the Legal Beagle is situated in the heart of it all.
The “drawbacks”, and mostly contingent upon timing, would be neighbors. The downstairs neighbors had 3 young boys; the neighboring restaurant, North Country, featured musicians a couple of nights that ran a little late. Parking can be tight, although on-street parking is (mostly) available, as is parking behind the building. The deck furniture wasn’t overly-inviting with some lichen/moss growing on it. Also, and my own fault, was the lack of appreciating entry was by way of stairs, only, as the unit was on the second floor.
Those repping the property (UpNorth Vaca Rentals) were very proactive initiating each step of the rental, check-in, and check-out process; ditto the cleaning lady, Karen, who was most kind and conscientious when we stumbled upon her.

Nice, clean, roomy spot for a couple that wants a view of the beach. The backside/bedroom is closer to the main drag but it wasn't noisy at all. Suttons Bay is a nice/close alternative to the commotion of TC.

We have stayed at Little Legal Beagle several times and always enjoy our stay. It is in a great location right downtown near all the local restaurants and shops. It is also right across from the beach and marina as well as the TART trail. Beautiful week in northern Michigan.

We had a very nice stay. The heating problem was corrected promptly by Up North management. The unit does need some minor touchup inside and the grounds needed trimming in general. Parking was fine but the entrance to the grounds from the public parking should be upgraded. As an older couple it was a bit tricky to get to the car in the public parking behind the property. The stairs leading up to the unit was a bit narrow and difficult to get luggage up there. Also none if the stairs up to the had no "traction strips" for safety. When dry this is not a problem but when wet we had to be extra careful not to slip on the stairs when heading down. The bed was on a very high frame making it difficult for us to get into. It needs a small stool to step up on to get into the bed. Even at 6' tall I had some trouble to get in and my much shorter wife had even more difficulty.

This place super cute, very clean and spacious. The pictures do not do it justice. The location is perfect and a great view of the water. There is a nice deck to sit on and look at the water. The bed is so comfortable and is very high which we loved. The air conditioning kept it really cool. If I had anything negative if would be that the WiFi doesn’t work very well in the bedroom and the parking can be a tight squeeze. We just stopped using the driveway and parked in the lot behind the house. It was only a little further to walk but an easier in and out. You can easily walk to town or the beach and there is a restaurant right across the street. I can’t recommend this place enough.

First impression was not good- deck furniture dirty with mold/moss growing. Rust spots on door and peeling paint on trim. Inside, first look OK. View of bay and comfortable furniture. After visiting town we came back to relax. Found kitchen table dirty and chairs covered with crumbs when we went to use them. Bathroom large but dated. Shower is very dark. Worst came when going to get in bed. Sheets had hair and sand; most definitely had not been changed after last guests. Contacted the management company who did remedy the bed situation the next day. Unit has potential but would not book again

This is out second time staying at this location. Very conviently located near the downtown area and Marina. Our only complaint was the difficluty trying to get the AC set to a comfortable range. I did contact the Property Manager about the problem. Otherwise, a great place to stay.

We always enjoy our stay at Little Legal Beagle. It is in a perfect location right in the heart of Suttons Bay. All of the action in the village is at your fingertips. You do have another larger cottage rental below you, so you do cross your fingers that they are considerate renters. We find the cottage to be equipped with everything we need during our stay. We have always found Up North Vacations to be wonderful to work with.

Pics cannot give you the charming vibe this rental possesses.
The east wall was full glass with slider in center
accessing the deck. This let in gorgeous light and views of bay.
Full kitchen is open to living area made space roomy. Read so negative reviews about sofa, it must have been replaced with a newer sofa as it was in great condition and comfortable to sit on.
Bed was comfy. Large closet.
This is located on the main street but did not notice any traffic noice. Easy walking distance to beach behind rental, and to the shops and restaurants in Sutton’s Bay.
Only negative I would mention is the patio chairs on the deck had mold and grime. I tried wiping one down so I could sit but was still concerned about staining my cloths. It was early in the season, so perhaps owners had not given this attention yet.
We definitely plan to stay here again, only longer!

This is the 2nd time my wife and I stayed here at the Upper Cottage in the Little Legal Beagle. Just as before we loved our stay! We packed a premade eggplant parmesan from our garden goodies back home and enjoyed the home cooking for the next couple nights over some wine. That alone helped save more money on this trip than had we stayed at a hotel and dined out every night.
It's located right in Sutton's Bay so you're walking distance to restaurants and other attractions as well as a short distance drive to most of the wineries on Leelanau Peninsula.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Little Legal Beagle in Suttons Bay! A very comfy and clean apartment in the heart of the city. The city was quite charming with plenty of good restaurants and shops. Another bonus were the numerous wineries in the area. A must visit is the French Valley Winery, and Fishtown. (Only a few minutes away)

We loved this upper apartment. Very clean, great kitchen, lots of room. Perfect location for all you would want to do on Leelanau Penn. This unit advertised as having wifi. The wifi is in 1st floor, and doesn't extend upstairs. A wifi extender would be a great addition. Also, bedroom is located in front along M22, very noisy traffic starting at 5:30am. We really enjoyed cottage and Suttons Bay!

We have rented this cottage many times. We had been noticing some areas that needed improvements and expressed our concerns. We were happy to see that several improvements had been made since last summer and that was appreciated. We had an issue with a clogged drain in the bathroom, and Visit Up North dealt with that issue within a couple of hours. Visit Up North is always very easy to work with. We enjoy renting through them. As there are 3 rentals on this property, the garbage can fills up very quickly. I think the owner needs to invest in an additional container for his properties. All in all, Little Legal Beagle is a fun place to stay.
