-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1 (Beech View Room): Queen Bed | Bedroom 2 (Lake View Room): Queen Bed | Bedroom 3 (Sylvan View Room): Queen Bed | Bedroom 4 (Kid's Loft): 3 Twin Beds with Twin Trundles

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.

A 33-minute drive will bring you to the waterfront beauty of Traverse City State Park, where you can swim, bike, picnic, and explore 47 acres of pristine Grand Traverse Bay shoreline!

Awesome little cottage on the lake
This was an awesome cottage on the lake for my family to get away for a week. It was very clean and came with supplies that some cottages don’t offer; trash bags, plastic snack bags, soap, etc... The beds were comfortable and everything in the house was furnished very nicely. The only two negative things would be that there is no AC or cable. For the price that you pay, there should be AC and cable included. Overall it is a great cottage and place to take your family or friends to relax on the waterfront.

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.

Wonderful Cottage
We chose this cottage because of its proximity to the Traverse City area. We are three gals that just wanted a quiet place to hang out for a few days and we were delighted with this cottage! It was clean, comfortable and homey. The property was lovely. We all agreed that the sunroom was an essential part of this cottage and we used that room the most. The weather cooperated and we enjoyed swans, birds and an occasional pontoon boat motoring by on the lake. This was a perfect getaway!

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.
