This quintessential northern Michigan cottage sits only steps from the shores of Long Lake, where sunny days filled with water sports await! Inside you'll find 1,500 square feet of modern furnishings, tasteful decor, and the ultimate lake house comfort.

The clean, pristine living space is illuminated by floor-to-ceiling windows, providing guests with stunning lake views. You can gaze out to the shores of Long Lake while keeping warm and cozy beside the fireplace, or watch a DVD on the flat-screen TV in the snug comfort of the downstairs den.

The den features a kitchenette perfect for storing cold drinks and snacks, while upstairs you'll have the luxury of a well-cared-for, fully equipped kitchen and 8-seat dining table. Serve your signature dish on the island countertop, or enjoy an al fresco meal on your private lakefront deck!

After an afternoon of fishing, boating, or simply relaxing on the lake, retire to enjoy an evening cocktail in the furnished sunroom. With 4 bedrooms including a 6-bed loft, there's plenty of room for everyone to spread out and rest up for another day of lakeside bliss! You'll even find 540 thread-count sheets in the bedroom you choose.

Use of the washer and dryer is available with an additional fee paid on-site to the owner.

-- THE LOCATION --

The cottage boasts 100 feet of private lakefront land along Long Lake, inviting you to hop in the 2-person kayak and paddle the day away! With the lake only steps away, it'll be easy to treat yourself to days of swimming, jetskiing, boating, fishing, and more.

You can also drive just 3 miles to enjoy the shores of the larger Fife Lake, located close to the quaint city itself. Here you can follow a day of waterfront relaxation with a delicious meal at local hot spots!

When you're ready to explore the surrounding area, strap on your hiking boots and hit the trails at Traverse City State Forest only 22 minutes away! Guests looking to amp up the excitement will be pleased to find an array of ATV, OHV, snowmobile, and cross-country ski trails in the area.

Relaxing and secluded setting
Communication with property owner / manager was prompt and friendly. Property was in great shape and well stocked with all the necessary amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms. Plenty of games for the whole family to enjoy and pass time. Plenty of room for our party of 10. Would highly recommend and will likely rebook should we ever return to the area.

Great lakeside property
We had 9 people staying here for a weekend golf trip. We all had a comfy place to sleep and the house is right next to the lake so it's quiet and soothing. Property manager was responsive and polite throughout our stay and very accommodating. Would definitely rent this place again.

Family Vacation
We loved staying here. The lake is very small but quiet and felt like we had it to ourselves. The little beach at the house was perfect for little children. They enjoyed playing on the beach and playing on the large floating matt. It was nice to have the screened porch for the rainy evening and the campfire site was perfect. Would highly recommend for a family get together.

Long lake vacation 2021
This place was a perfect lake getaway. Many places to hang out, 2 decks, sunroom, living room and den with TV and lots of movies and games to choose from. Everything you needed was in the kitchen for cooking. We loved kayaking and paddle boating on the private beach. We got some much needed quiet tile away from the city. The only downside was there was no WiFi and we had to pay to use the laundry. For the amount we paid for the week, I feel like asking an additional $50 for laundry was not appropriate. We would stay again!

Great cabin for Families
Great cabin on the lake- comfortable beds, kayaks, paddle boat, row boat, float mat! Shallow clear water! Would be nice to have fire pit in the back away from the sprinklers and a gas grill would be nice. Big enough to sleep 12 comfortably and kitchen well stocked! And everything well labeled! Overall great vacation home!!

GREAT FAMILY GETAWAY SPOT
Loved the house - was just enough space our family plus a visiting family! Upstairs loft was a perfect spot for kids. House had lots of water toys like kayaks and paddle boat. Fishing on the dock was so fun for the kids . Note this is a private lake so if you rent a boat there are times you can not make a wake - when we rented we were allowed to make a wake between 11 and and 7pm. Owners were great to communicate with. Quiet neighborhood
