About this house rental
This unique and stunning, two-story architectural gem was designed to take full advantage of the natural setting on West Grand Traverse Bay. It has been featured in numerous design magazines and on HGTV. The spacious accommodations offer stunning bay views from almost every point in the house.
The huge great room has 20-foot glass floor-to-ceiling water views! It’s like being in a terrarium. Large, open fireplace. Huge 4K HD flat screen TV with surround sound.
The kitchen is state of the art with black granite countertops. Equipped with a steam oven (perfect for fish and veggies) and Sub-zero refrigerator/freezer drawers. Hardwood floors throughout with radiant heat. This modern built home offers thick concrete walls that keep the inside comfortable. You will want to explore every inch of this ultra cool house.
The spa bathroom is located off the main level and features a two-person Jacuzzi Japanese hammered metal soaking tub and a very spacious shower/steam room. Perfect after a day of biking on the TART trail, kayaking from the shore, or visiting the many nearby wineries and restaurants. Relax with a glass of wine next to the fireplace which extends through to the soaking tub. Stereo system and WIFI.
A California king platform bed lies under a high, curved, wood ceiling upstairs. (Bed currently cannot be moved to the porch.) Let the sound of the waves lull you to sleep in the cool night air. Off the bedroom, is a Precore Elliptical exerciser and large balcony for relaxing with that morning cup of coffee. Bathroom/shower and washer/dryer upstairs as well.
Outdoors, enjoy the deck for gas grilling. Walk down to the water’s edge where a screened gazebo provides the perfect setting to watch the spectacular moonrise over the bay. There is also seating at the shoreline. Two kayaks are included with life jackets. The bay faces east and offers beautiful sunrise and moonrise views. Grass goes to the shoreline. Neighbor has three friendly dogs that may greet you on your arrival.
Centrally located a mere 8 minutes north of downtown Traverse City and 8 minutes south of Suttons Bay in the heart of the Leelanau Peninsula wine country. Shady Lane, Mawby, Ciccone, and Black Star Farms are just a few of the vineyards that are minutes away. The Hop Lot Brewery is just up the road. You will not be disappointed when you visit up north.
No pets allowed. NOT suitable for children.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is quite unique and beautiful. Floor to ceiling windows so you can enjoy outside even when you are in! It is quiet and you feel "away" even though you are only 7 or 8 miles from dining or shopping opportunities, and wineries are close! I have to say we were disappointed to find that the bed didn't rollout on the porch (mechanism broken), but opening those wide doors and letting all the fresh air come in through the screened porch was still great! Soaking tub felt wonderful and friendly dogs next door to greet you! We'd go back!

Unique layout and amenities! Loved sitting out on the screened-in porch at night. (The bed doesn’t work to slide out there, but there are chairs.). Have to be able to do stairs as accessing the bedroom and bathrooms involve going up and down stairs. Enjoyed the jetted soaking tub! Beautiful grounds! Great location! Very friendly hosts!

Reviewer Comments:
First, it was a beautiful property. The lakefront view and beachfront were terrific. The water quality was excellent. We truly enjoyed it. There were a few issues that we wished were divulged in the property listing. First, we did not know the owners shared the property. Second, they have three very loud barking dogs (although the dogs are friendly) that roam the property. Whenever we would eat outside on the patio, one or more of the dogs would come and beg for food. Third, the property description boasts of a bed that rolls out onto a screened porch so you can sleep in the cool outside air. However, we were told upon arrival the bed no longer worked and will not work for the foreseeable future. This was problematic since the home is not air conditioned. We knew there wasn't AC, but felt the outdoor bed, would offset that. As a result, we spent a couple of sleepless nights in the 90 degree heat. I feel that feature should be removed from the listing. Overall, the property is interesting and unique. Unfortunately, the dogs, the onsite owners and broken bed diminished our experience.
