Perfectly situated on M22 between Downtown Traverse City and Suttons Bay, this retreat offers an ideal mix of tranquility 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.

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.
