Why the Owner Chose Traverse City
Growing up in Michigan, our family used to vacation on Long Lake. I, like my brothers and parents, formed many fond memories on this beautiful lake. My hope in buying the cottage, was to provide the opportunity for my wife and children to form similar memories on Long Lake and NW Michigan.
Owner's Map of Traverse City
I grew up in Michigan and spent summers in NW Michigan. Unfortunately, in the early 80's, the Michigan economy necessitated that I move to Denver first, then to Texas. I still try to get "home" as often as I can to see the magnificent beauty of NW Michigan.

Jim, We had the most lovely time in your Lake House - perfect getaway for my husband and I to relax, explore Michigan and slow down our pace in a very quiet and beautiful home and setting. We will most certainly book again with you as one of our more memorable escapes together. Your home was immaculately clean with delightful caretakers and well stocked with all the amenties to assist your guests. We loved grilling out on the deck and finding the peace that comes with waterfront living and beautiful breath taking sunrises. Thank you for the memories, truly cherished for a lifetime. GREAT Sushi place in Traverse City.......a must repeat for the calamari BEST in the world! In closing, thank you for all the special assistance with day trips, restaurants, activities very helpful to mazimize our time. Loved the lighthouses, the wine county the beautiful lakes, the quaint towns, antiquing, truly a prime location for a multitude of interests. Delightful working the arrangements with you, kindly share the 2012 availability for this same property. Have a blessed life, Wanda & Steve

We absolutely loved our week at Long Lake. It was a great location, not too far from the downtown, but far enough away to avoid the Cherry Festival crowds! We found wonderful eateries and of course, Moomers ice cream, great grocery stores and just anything we needed. The house was perfect for our needs. The view was fabulous, we got some unbelievable photos. No one believes they are not photoshopped! Would definitely come back!
