Fantastic match for our wants and needs! Fit 6 adults and one toddler comfortably. Perfect for a getaway with friends or extended family. Well appointed and thoughtful touches throughout the space. Super close to great local spots. The beds were clean and each of us remarked at how well we slept in our rooms. The “little kids room” was a hit and the joy it brought was the icing on the cake.

We had a wonderful stay at the Norra House! The house was beautifully decorated and thoughtfully furnished. As soon as we walked though the door, we felt immediately at home and very cozy. The whole house was very clean and had all the amenities you could possibly need. Very well stocked for cooking, campfires and beach days. The location was very private and quiet. We enjoyed the peace and quiet while spending time on the deck in the evenings. Very close to wineries, and downtown Suttons Bay and a quick drive to Sleeping Bear. Kara provided a guidebook with many helpful recommendations for places to eat, drink, shop and things to do. The decor was beautiful, the beds were very comfortable and we loved all the thoughtful amenities. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back! Thank you for making our stay so memorable!
