About this property

Lodge-style home in Suttons Bay. Main house & caboose. Central A/C. Pet ok.

This 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home welcomes up to 14 guests during the warm months and sleeps up to 12 during fall/winter/spring when the caboose is unavailable.

Imagine 350’ of crystal clear deep water all to yourself on 5 acres of private wooded area. In addition to the 5 bedrooms, there is a real railroad caboose car set up to hang out--imagine impressing the kids or grandkids with such a cool hangout spot!

Walk into a kitchen with plenty of space for the chef of the group in this galley-style full kitchen (with dishwasher). This well-stocked kitchen is perfect for cooking! Through the kitchen, the grand living room gives sweeping views of the bay and a large stone fireplace (temporarily out of service as of 12/2023)! Stone tile and cherry hardwood floors run throughout the home. Plenty of entertainment with cable TV, DVD player, and WIFI available for your use! On the main level, there are two bedrooms; the master bedroom has a king bed with an on-suite bathroom featuring a soaking tub and walk-in shower! The other bedroom on the main level features a queen bed. Another full bathroom on the main level as well. Upstairs, you will find the other three bedrooms, one with a queen bed, one with two twin beds and bunk beds (four beds in total), and the last bedroom has a queen bed. You will also find a twin sleeper sofa in the reading area with a wall of books for your use! There is a full bathroom on the upper level.

Outdoors, the wrap-around deck welcomes you to sit and enjoy the view! Maybe cook something up on the grill, cooking with a view. What is better than that? A perfect vantage point to watch the kids enjoy the yard or play in the water! Sit on the dock and watch the boards sail by. A great way to end the day. Or cook up some s’mores for a perfect Northern Michigan desert over the fire pit!

This home is a great location to take in all this area has to offer, close to several wineries, a casino just down the road, shopping, dining, and so much more a short drive away! Traverse City is a 17-mile trip down the beautiful Grand Traverse Bay. Head north up M-22 to explore Omena and Northport. Sleeping Bear Dunes is just about 36 miles away, well worth a day trip! Fall colors in this area are spectacular! The village of Suttons Bay is just a few minutes away. Here, you can play, dine, go to the movies, enjoy the park, or do some shopping! The Leelanau Trail can be picked up very close to this location and travels all the way through Traverse City.

This home is open year-round – the caboose car does NOT have heat or plumbing in the colder months (fall/winter/spring). The caboose car is NOT available from Labor Day in September to Memorial Day in May of the following year.

Great place to stay!!
We were with a group of 10!! The accomodations were outstanding!! The home was clean, very well stocked for our cooking needs and a great location for our wine tasting stops. We were very pleased with our home and would definitely stay again! The layout of the home was perfect for our needs! Thank you!!

Greatly Dissappointed
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Caboose Royale over NYE 2023. We were actually return guests, but this most recent visit was greatly disappointing. The house was not clean. There was a think coat of dust on all surfaces, many clearly visible cobwebs and pots/pans were dirty. There was also open bags of garbage left in the driveway. The worst part was that the the rental staff was not forthcoming about what was working and what was NOT working in the house. The fireplace in the house is beautiful, but we didn't it was out of service until the morning after we arrived. We had already bought wood and in nothing in the communications ahead of our check in told us about the fireplace not work. I've called the rental office to share my experiences before I posted this and was told I would get a response...I've heard nothing.Will never return and never recommend.

Wine Trail Vacation
Five couples stayed at Caboose Royale while doing the Taste of the Season Wine tour. It was clean, comfortable, and centrally located. Felt like home and accommodated all of us. We cooked in and the table sat all ten of us. Had a campfire right on the bay shore. We had a great time, but then we never put anyone else in charge of our fun. :-)
