Fall Frenzy

We booked our stay because of the Leland Fall Frenzy. Our stay in Suttons Bay was 100 times better than anything Leland had to offer. Suttons Bay was clean, sales staff at the stores were friends and welcoming, the bartenders and wait staff were folks you want to be friends with. Food was delicious.

Nice location in town

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This clean and comfortable 1BR is located in downtown Suttons Bay. It offers beautiful sunrises from a lovely bay view and is walking distance to everything in town. The bed was very comfy and the kitchen fairly well equipped. Music from the patio restaurant next door was a little noisy but if you want solitude, don't rent in town. Don't miss Chimoski's Bakery just down the street.

Suttons Bay Surprise

We were surprised at how spacious our apartment was. We were very comfortable; the bed was comfortable, loved the rockers and bathroom was spacious. We even had a view of Suttons Bay and watched an amazing sunrise one morning. The location was even better than we thought. We lived our stay. (Two things I will note for future guests; the bed is very high off the ground and you do access the apartment up the stairs from the outside.)

Great spot for a Leelanau getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Once you get past hauling your luggage upstairs, a roomy, comfortable unit awaits. View of Suttons Bay makes the stairs worth navigating. Location is a short walk to most of the shops and restaurants in Sutton's Bay, making driving optional for exploring the town. In-unit washer/dryer allows for lighter packing if you are up for a load of laundry mid-week :-)

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Little Legal Beagle is the perfect place for us. We have stayed here many times. Ideal location if you enjoy being in the heart of Suttons Bay. You will hear music and conversations from the restaurant next door, traffic on the road and people staying below you but it all adds to the atmosphere. The cottage was clean and well stocked. We also appreciated the new patio furniture.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the location and proximity to the Marina. Improvements could be made in cleanliness of the bathroom as a well as the slow draining sink.The toilet needed scouring and a smelly plunger was left in there uncovered. The coffee pot needs to be cleaned or replaced as it takes about 20min to finish perculating. The property managers were awesome.

Great Location, Some Drawbacks

Fantastic location in the heart of Sutton’s Bay. Every restaurant is within walking distance, less one sandwich shop. Ditto the shopping, beach, marina, library, movie theater, coffee shops, book store, bakery, farmer’s market, TART (biking/walking) trail access, ice cream…Nearby, although better by vehicle (or bike), is Hansen’s - a great little grocery store, HopLot Brewing, a laundromat, and etc.! SB is a great little village with much to offer and the Legal Beagle is situated in the heart of it all. The “drawbacks”, and mostly contingent upon timing, would be neighbors. The downstairs neighbors had 3 young boys; the neighboring restaurant, North Country, featured musicians a couple of nights that ran a little late. Parking can be tight, although on-street parking is (mostly) available, as is parking behind the building. The deck furniture wasn’t overly-inviting with some lichen/moss growing on it. Also, and my own fault, was the lack of appreciating entry was by way of stairs, only, as the unit was on the second floor. Those repping the property (UpNorth Vaca Rentals) were very proactive initiating each step of the rental, check-in, and check-out process; ditto the cleaning lady, Karen, who was most kind and conscientious when we stumbled upon her.
