About the host
Hosted by Chalet Du Lac - Michelle & John
We have been visiting 'Up North' for over 20 years and after renting vacation cottages and cabins over the years in various towns and cities in the area, we found ourselves only wanting to come to Long Lake.
We love the interesting shape of Long Lake, along with 5 islands: Long South, Fox, Picnic, and Brush. The crystal clear and clean and warmer water during the summer, along with 3-4 sandbars to anchor your boat and enjoy a day lounging, throwing a football, rafting, enjoying a cold beverage is one of the quintessential 'Up North' experiences on top of only being a 20-minute drive to all that downtown Traverse City has to offer.

Why they chose this property
We love the quiet and private wooded setting. It is another level of calm and relaxation.
What makes this property unique
The smaller, and more intimate size of Chalet du Lac is especially nice for families who might normally have busy lives downstate in the suburbs and appreciate spending quality time together.
