About this property

Cozy cottage with private pond. Close to the casino and the Bay.

  • On Belanger Pond is a super charming cottage in a storybook-like setting. The cottage is located north of Suttons Bay and sits right on a large pond. It sleeps 6 with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.

    There is a bedroom on the main floor, and the upper bedroom is a loft area. There is a cozy living room off the kitchen and a large enclosed porch faces south over the pond. Mornings are beautiful sitting out here.

    Make sure you bring your camera to this magical spot with gorgeous landscaping and a serene setting. Enjoy a fire in the provided fire pit. There is a charcoal grill for any outdoor cooking you might have planned.

    This is a great location to enjoy all of the Leelanau County attractions. Stop at some of the wineries, Leelanau Sands Casino, the vintage Bay Theater, or one of the great local restaurants. The house is 20 miles from Traverse City.

    No pets allowed.

Late Summer Girls Trip

My mom, sisters and I booked this cottage for our annual girls trip. The cottage was SUPER cozy and in the perfect location for what we had planned. It was only a five minute drive to downtown Sutton’s Bay and a 10 minute drive in the other direction would get you to Northport! Plenty of great seating areas and spaces to cozy up. The porches (both inside and out) were lovely. We would definitely not hesitate to stay here again!

Girls Trip

The Sutton Bay Area is so much more relaxing than Traverse City yet close enough to enjoy Traverse City and surrounding areas. This is minor but would be nice to have a shower head that adjusted. Again minor but would have made showering more enjoyable. Location though was perfect.

Charming cottage

I needed a place to do some uninterrupted work. This was a wonderfully peaceful and charming location. Drawbacks that weren't too consequential, no ac, no dishwasher. Unexpected drawback, no internet. In all, I'd stay here again. The all white shabby decor very calming. I have limited mobility. No problems with entry and first floor bedroom a plus.

A little piece of paradise

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: The perfect little house for a Northern getaway. The place is so cute and cozy and perfectly located to visit various towns. The front of the cottage is on a main road but the side/back makes you feel like you are On Golden Pond. We took our mother for a weekend getaway and visited Fishtown, breweries and Traverse City. Everything was exactly what we were hoping. We will be back!

Cycling up North.

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: We loved Belanger Pond...our main interest was bicycling and this wonderful cottage is ideally situated to benefit from many great rides in the region. The facilities are not modern...but who cares? You are up North and are well supplied with all that is necessary including a washer , dryer. Such a nice place. We stayed 5 nights and ate prepared every meal in the more than adequate kitchen. After long days of riding, this place was ideal to relax and recoup. There is a TV but the porch and patio are so pleasant, we never turned it on.....loved the place. Though we needed nothing, we felt the management team was right there for us. Great vacation.

Cozy, clean cottage get-away

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: It was a super cute older cottage like rental with lots of space to spread out. LOVED the outdoor deck space and enclosed porch (in case bugs/mosquitoes-which we didn't have). We had 4 adults and the one bathroom worked well. The 2nd bedrooms which is upstairs has a tight/lower ceiling at the top, so beware if you are taller (I am only 5'9" and I hit my head more than once). Also, no rails so if you're unsteady or have issues with balance, I would suggest staying on the main floor. It is right NEXT to the busy road which noisy at times, so also be aware of this; We saw this in the review, but didn't think it about it until after we heard the cars go by.

Charming cottage in a perfect location!

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: Loved the Belanger Pond cottage, which was located right on M22 just 2ish miles north of downtown Suttons Bay. My mother and I enjoyed the French shabby chic feel of the place, and loved sitting on the porch and patio to enjoy the serene pond view. A great place to rest after many hikes and wine tastings. You even get a few peeks of the big lake from the porch and upstairs bedroom!Yes, you get some traffic noise as you are close to the road, but it's really only busy in the morning and early evening -- didn't bother us. I would say the only con is the well water (typical for when you're outside city limits up north), but we bought a water jug for drinking water and it was absolutely fine! Visit Up North also promptly replaced a coffee pot that was not working well with a new one which we really appreciated. A great stay and I'd love to return!

Great cozy cottage vibes

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We attended a concert at Leelanau Sands and this cottage was an excellent alternative to staying at the lodge there. It’s a very short drive and could even be walked in the warmer months. We absolutely loved the sunroom and watching the birds on the pond. We also enjoyed shopping and dining in Suttons Bay which is just a few minutes away. The beds were comfortable and the house was very clean. The only downside was the small driveway but we managed with a small suv and full size truck. I would definitely stay again!
