About this property

Bay View Private Dock on West Bay

  • Summary:

    Bay View is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 car garage home located on M-22 with private lakefrontage and a gorgeous dock/deck on Grand Traverse Bay West Arm.



    The Space:

    Welcome to Bay View Retreat—a stunning 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home spanning 2,210 square feet, designed to offer the ultimate getaway. Experience the best of Pure Michigan with a home that boasts a fully equipped kitchen, plush linens, fine bedding, cozy seating, an open-concept layout, a private backyard, updated décor, flat-screen TVs, and high-speed internet. Best of all, start your mornings with breathtaking sunrises and enjoy swimming off the dock on the prestigious Grand Traverse Bay.



    Perfectly situated on M22 between Downtown Traverse City and Suttons Bay, this retreat offers an ideal mix of tranquillity and convenience. The scenic drive along M22 is one of Northern Michigan’s most beautiful coastal routes—just pull out of the driveway, and you’re on your way to stunning shoreline views.



    Looking for excitement? Downtown Traverse City is just a few miles south, where you’ll find a lively atmosphere filled with popular restaurants, charming boutiques, vibrant bars, and picturesque public beaches.



    Whether you crave adventure, cozy evenings by the fire, or peaceful afternoons “just sitting on the dock of the bay,” the Bay View Retreat is your perfect home away from home.



    Please note: M22 runs through the property, separating the house from the waterfront. Guests will need to cross the road to access the dock and water. The dock extends over the rocky shoreline and is accessible through the deck’s side gate.
