Property Description
https://www.instagram.com/wccsuttonsbay/ Welcome to The Watercolor Cottage! Located on peaceful Stony Point just 3 miles to the village of Suttons Bay, the WCC offers the tranquility of Leelanau County while being close to all the best activities. Inside the house, you'll appreciate quality furnishings, hardwood floors throughout, all new appliances, charming architectural details, two fully updated bathrooms, and two spacious and comfortable bedrooms (1 king, 1 queen plus bunks). Enjoy meals and together time in the open living/kitchen/dining area that centers the home, with multiple seating areas for dining, relaxing, and your favorite games. Provided for your comfort are white noise machines, room darkening blinds, all bedroom linens, bath and beach towels, a smart TV, Sonos speaker, and well appointed kitchen. Location wise, the Watercolor Cottage is truly unique and offers something for everyone. Step out the front door and walk 3 minutes to the right (East) to find the Vic Steimel Waterfront Park, ideal for rock hunting and a cup of coffee as you catch the sunrise. It's also the perfect spot for morning, smooth water SUP rides. In the opposite direction out the front door, another easy 3 minute walk to the public sandy shore of Suttons Bay for an afternoon or evening swim. The Caribbean blue water and sunsets do not disappoint! We're happy to share a garage full of water floats, sand toys, kayaks and life preservers as well. When you're ready to get out and explore, some of Leelanau County's best vineyards are within a 15 minute drive, not to mention 7 minutes to Hop Lot, 20 mins to Farm Club, and 25 mins into Traverse City. The nearby Village of Suttons Bay is a vibrant, creative community offering convenient and quality groceries at Hansen Foods, unique local shops, restaurants, bayside parks, a theater, bike and boat rental, trailheads, and much more. We'll be happy to provide recommendations to the best of what Leelanau County has to offer if you desire them. The WCC is on a peaceful side road, with large yard space and mature trees perfect for hammock lounging. One hammock provided, bring more if you wish! The rear patio offers a large dining table, Weber grill, and outdoor lounge area. Facing west and with beautiful sunset views is the fire pit. Cornhole boards, croquet set, and other yard games can be found in the garage. We love our neighbors at The Watercolor Cottage, and the serenity that everyone who comes here experiences. In that spirit, we ask that guests are mindful of others and the surroundings so it can continue to be enjoyed by many. In accordance with the Suttons Bay short term rental ordinance, we can accommodate up to 4 adults and 2 children. We're unable to accept reservations for more than 4 adults. We look forward to hosting you!

We had a great week at the Watercolor Cottage and would absolutely return – this was one of the cleanest rentals we've stayed in and was fully stocked with everything we needed. Liz was quick to respond to anything we needed and provided lots of helpful recommendations for the area. The cottage is on a quiet street and feels very private but an easy walk to the water or a quick drive (or bike ride) into Sutton's Bay. The kids loved painting with the watercolors, too!

Charming The cottage was perfect for our family of four. Very clean with everything we could possibly need. The location is quiet and private but close to everything. The owners put so much thought into the details of this home, which we very much appreciated as it elevated our stay. We would love to return!

Great Location We enjoyed a relaxing and cozy stay at waterfront cottage. Had everything needed, well stocked kitchen, beach stuff, and very clean. An excellent location where we enjoyed walking to the two beaches and a short drive into suttons bay.

Sutton’s Bay Hidden Gem Our experience at Watercolor Cottage was fantastic! Cozy beds, clean & updated bathrooms, perfect location, and so many little thoughtful extras. My family enjoyed our stay so much, we will absolutely return next year. Kayaking, daily walks to the water, s’mores on the fire, we stayed busy while feeling unrushed & away from it all. Thank you for the excellent hospitality & for sharing your lovely cottage with us.☺️

Charming and Pristine! Thank you to the hosts for providing this charming and pristine home enabling a relaxing and fun retreat! The decorating touches throughout were stunning and recognized! This is a great location to explore Suttons Bay and also superb for the day trips to Leland, Sleeping Bear Dunes, farmer markets and the wineries! I definitely will return and recommend this home.

Quiet and Relaxing If you are looking for a quiet retreat where you can go to unwind and take a break near Lake Michigan, this is it! The location offers two waterfront experiences on either side of the bay which is just a couple minutes walk either way out the front door. One offers beautiful views and a rock shore while the other offers sand. The owner was very quick to respond both before and after our leave and was very easy to communicate with.
