About this property

Summer 2024 will bring the sandy beach back to the Stone Terrace Beach Cottage. The little ones will love to get their toes in the sand, build castles and enjoy evening wood burning bonfires ideal for s'mores. The cottage has a dock (May-late September) with sunning platform and access to the blue water. A fire pit is located on the sandy lawn overlooking the water as well as a firepit on the beach.

Set on the beautiful eastern shore of Suttons Bay, allow Stone Terrace Beach Cottage to be your home 'up north'. Feel the sand and water of Suttons Bay right outside your door or enjoy a crackling fire in the wood burning fireplace. Stone Terrace Beach Cottage is available from Saturday to Saturday during the summer, and on a flexible schedule during the rest of the year. Off season weekend rates are available (see rates below)...please call/email for details.

Situated on a quiet rural road, two and a half miles from the village of Suttons Bay, Stone Terrace Beach Cottage is the ideal vacation destination with casual elegance in mind. The Stone Terrace Beach Cottage has 4 bedrooms with 2 1/2 baths, living room, dining room, and fully-equipped newly remodeled kitchen with upgraded with stainless appliances and window AIR CONDITIONING on the main level and central air for the 2 upper bedrooms!

The cottage accommodates a total of 8 guests utilizing the 4 queen bedrooms - A main level deck located off of the living room, provides a great place to take your morning coffee, and stone steps lead to the lower deck where one can sun bathe or catch up with a good read.

Out the back door is nature’s opportunity to walk, jog, bike, or weather permitting, cross country ski!! Nature abounds everywhere!! The quaint village of Suttons Bay, which plays host to great restaurants, boutique shopping, and art galleries, is just a short drive way.

Let the Stone Terrace Beach Cottage be your home away from home for a weekend or a week!!

Features include four bedrooms: two queen bedrooms are located on the lower level with a full bath between & two upper level bedrooms with the front sleeping room having a 1/2 bath: the third 3/4 bath (shower only) is off the kitchen and at the bottom of the stairs.

The Stone Terrace Beach Cottage boasts of 1800 square feet of nicely appointed living space with 2.5 bathrooms and 100 feet private sandy beach with a sunset view over the shallow swimming bay. Indoor fireplace and fire pit on the beach. Stainless appliances with granite kitchen, washer and dryer and starter paper products provided (but not replenished during guest visit).

Beautiful landscaping and furnished outdoor deck areas. Weber gas grill. Air conditioning, Wireless High Speed Internet and pets are accepted for a fee. Great walking, jogging, hiking out the back door. Village of Suttons Bay is two and a half miles away. All the amenities of home!

NOTE: The water level is receding and the beach area is unknown at press time - I have no idea the size of the beach, if any, after the winter thaw. The fire pit will be moved to the front lawn if the water level does not permit this to be on the beach.

Fantastic property with the best of both worlds

The house is perfectly located, with scenic views in every direction, quiet and peaceful atmosphere, but only a few minutes from town. Host was very thoughtful in setting up a memorable stay. All rooms were comfortable, and the house was stocked with every amenity. We will absolutely be coming back whenever we want to go up north again.

Great Location

We come to Suttons Bay every fall for a girls weekend. It is so nice being able to stay on the water on Tom's property. If the weather is nice, we've been able to sit on the deck and have some wine. This is our second time staying at this property and both times we've gotten great pictures of the sunset. Would definitely stay here again.

Well appointed

Wonderful girlfriend's week-end. Plenty of space for 5 women. The house is beautiful, clean, attractively decorated and convenient. Enjoyed the view of the water and the convenience to the shops and sites in the Sutton's Bay and Leeland area. We were able to squeeze 3 cars into the driveway. The tightness of the parking would be my only small negative. The owner did state that arrangements could be made for additional parking. Fortunately we didn't need it.
