What a great find. We live in Chicago and normally I spend my summers in NY for work, and we spend weekends in Amagansett past East Hampton, a small seaside village about the same scale as Suttons Bay. When we normally get away from Chicago, we head to Douglas Michigan off Saugatuck, but this was long weekend and we had friends from Leland area in town from San Fran at their family cottage.
This home is exactly what the DR ordered and we enjoyed the Stoney Pointe remote feel though the town is just a 4 min drive down the road, and also the endless Wineries you can subject yourself too to a point of extreme bliss.
The home is a great setting of shady trees and chirping birds and all the summertime sounds, we miss in a highrise in Chicago, its GREEN views out every window, as well as the lakeshore and water vistas. This home is very well appointed and decorated, with a great family room upstairs and downstairs, as well as very nice kitchen and dining areas with both sunroom and patios area to chill out. The bedrooms are luxury and cozy in a Michigan feel, and the Jacuzzi was a delight. Though ti was just my wife and I, this would be great for a two couples with kids or a large family too. The kitchen has every possible cooking need you could ask for, quality as well, and they also have huge cabinet of games, a piano ( I can play some Burt Bacharach) and also huge flat screen HD (Summer Olympics were on) and also DVD's, CD's and books. There is also a huge BBQ gas grill on patio, and a full table and chairs we had breakfast and dinner at.
I cant find any faults with this place at all, the best part is there a little park across street on the lakeshore and with BBQ and picnic tables, just sublime lazyness I must admit.
Another bonus is the great Hansens Grocery store in town, and also the VI Village Inn.
So, this a great home to make your own, and also enjoy the areas great offerings. It really is a nice value, and wish we has a few more nights. Though I only spoke on the phone to the owners, it was very cordial and friendly, wish we had time to meet them.
BTW- We went to Black Star farms for a Pizza and wine Friday night and its was the perfect low key meal that was the healthiest pizza I have ever encountered, and tastiest too... (Mushroom)
