About this property
Spacious, waterfront cottage in Traverse City. Fireplace. Dog friendly.
Make a splash at this up north 1950s vintage cabin-style home on 100 feet of beautiful Long Lake. This vintage cottage has a great ‘step back in time’ feel, with many current updates to create an enjoyable stay. Splash Landing features 4-bedrooms and 2-bathrooms welcoming up to eight guests at a time.
Walk into the open living/dining room area, with lovely hardwood floors and large windows with a view of the lake. Plenty of room for eating, curling up by the wood-burning fireplace, or watching a good movie. To the right, there are two bedrooms on the main floor. The first bedroom has a queen bed and a twin bed, and the second has a queen bed. To the left of the living room, there is a large full kitchen with a dishwasher. The kitchen includes a breakfast area. A full bathroom with a shower/tub combo is to the left of the kitchen at the top of the steps leading to the basement.
The finished walk-out basement has plenty of room, a washer and dryer are under the stairs. There are two bedrooms on the basement level one with a queen bed; the second has a full bed. There is a sofa bed in the spacious lower-level family room. A full bath with a shower/tub combo is available on the lower level. This is a great location to enjoy some downtime, with lots of books to curl up with and board games too! And that is only the inside!
Outside beautiful Long Lake is waiting. There are a few steps down to the lake from the patio area. Swimming, boating, and fishing are just outside the door! A row boat for some fishing fun is included! The lake has a nice sandy bottom for the little ones. A charcoal grill and picnic table are available for an outdoor meal, and the firepit makes a perfect evening gathering place. A Dock and boat mooring is available and will accommodate up to a 17’ boat 3000lbs max. Do not tie up to the dock, it is for loading and unloading only. (Dock not guaranteed after Labor Day Weekend or before June 15) there is a camera facing the dock for security purposes.
This home is in a great location, an easy drive to Traverse City and all it has to offer or head to Interlochen or Honor. This home is 30 miles from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. Try South Long Lake Forest Natural Area for a family hike, it is less than five minutes away. Boone's Long Lake Inn is 1.5 miles down the road, or Taqueria TC Latino has great Mexican food, just 4 miles away!
Sorry no AC, fans provided. Your well-mannered dog is welcome. No Smoking.
