Quiet, Private, Waterfront - Luxury on 125 Ft. of Suttons Bay

White Fence of Suttons Bay is a truly unique vacation property. The property is a compilation of restored circa 1900 farm buildings just one block south of one of the most quaint villages in the Upper Midwest. The Village of Suttons Bay has deluxe shopping, art galleries and excellent restaurants abound. White Fence of Suttons Bay is within walking distance of it all and centrally located for touring all of scenic Leelanau County and its multitude of wineries, fine restaurants, charming villages and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park.

White Fence is a small and quiet property which has been meticulously renovated. The guest suite is artfully done with privacy, quiet and magnificent views of the bay kept in mind. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with seating areas throughout including private decks on the beach. Night star gazing is memorable. Although we love pets and children, the carriage house suites is not designed for either.

Directly across the street from White Fence is a gourmet grocery store which specializes in local produce and houses an extensive wine selection where the sommelier can describe to you the award-winning local wines. There is an outdoor kitchen area at White Fence with a charcoal grill should you decide to cook and hot plate for sautéing and boiling.

Also directly across the street, is the Leelanau Trail, an extensive biking, walking and running trail. It offers miles of scenic enjoyment. In the winter months, the Trail is groomed for cross country skiing.
White Fence was originally opened for business on July 4th, 2010. The new owners are permanent residents of Suttons Bay and our aim is to maintain the beauty and tranquility that has been pleasing guests since the beginning.

For Summer Rentals the Carriage House is only being rented as part of the whole White Fence of Suttons Bay Property. Please see our listing # 1172449 for our summer rental information. This exquisite property is the perfect location for families or couples.

A lovely cottage on the bay, easy walk into town.
Everything was very nice and as described in the listing. The main house associated with this guest house was vacant during our stay so we had use of their section of the beach. A public park and beach is just 100 yds or so to the south if you’re looking for a swimming beach and playground equipment. We enjoy walking and the street along the shore that starts south of the cottage at the park, continues for a couple miles out onto the peninsula forming the south shore of Suttons Bay. A nice walk. This location provides quick access to all the main cities of the peninsula and we took full advantage of that fact, visiting Leeland, Glen Arbor, Point Oneida historic district and Traverse City. Would love to do again.

Just WOW!...
Selfishly, I'd really rather that this location remain a secret for my personal use as it is a real gem. Everything listed by the host is true but they did not convey how wonderful the space/location is. We enjoyed numerous sunrises and sunsets at the water front and short walks as all that was necessary to go for food and/or shopping. Best of all was the hosts were very accommodating and pleasant to interact with. We kept the windows open so we could enjoy the cool, northern Michigan evenings but it also meant that it could get too cool inside the unit. Instead of shutting windows and turning on heat the hosts brought by some additional blankets to make sitting and reading very comfortable and snuggly. (BTW the robes were really comfortable as well.) Please stay here (except for when I want to stat there.)

Clean, cozy spot to get away. Hosts are responsive and helpful. I would definitely take their suggestion #14 on their welcome letter to the hiking trail and all the food suggestions are on par (with many walkable from cottage). This may turn into a yearly destination for us.

Cute place in a fantastic location
The Carriage House at White Fence is a charming place for a couple visiting Suttons Bay. My wife and I stayed here several years ago with the prior owners and stayed again recently. It was just as cozy as we remembered and is in a perfect location to explore all that the Leelanau peninsula has to offer. We spent a day making a loop from Suttons Bay to Glen Arbor and back through Leland before returning. Lots of charming wineries and shops to explore and the view of the bay from the house can't be beat. When we next find ourselves in the area we will definitely look to stay here again.

The cottage house was perfect for our anniversary getaway. Great space in all rooms and a view that is amazing. We would definitely recommend this place to others. The dock/sitting area for the cottage house is not great, but we were able to use the main beach that is generally reserved for renters of the main house. Guests can use the main beach when there are no renters staying at the main home on the property. We were surprised by how perfect the location is. We were a small walk away from a great local brewery, the trail, and downtown. There is also a great little grocery store nearby. We also had good communication from the host as well. Don't hesitate to stay here!
