Long Lake Lakefront Retreat — Kayaks, Firepit & Game Room
Welcome to The Breakaway!
Tucked away on a peaceful, private stretch of beautiful Long Lake, this newly updated lakefront retreat is where quiet mornings, lake days, and time together come naturally. Spend your days swimming, kayaking, boating, or fishing, then gather around the lakeside firepit, relax on the covered patio, or head to The Barn for game nights.
Wake up to the sound of loons, watch deer wander the shoreline, and end your evenings around the fire beneath a sky full of stars. On any given day, you might catch a glimpse of a beaver swimming by with a freshly cut branch. Those are the moments that made us fall in love with Long Lake—and the moments we hope you'll experience too.
With 100 feet of private lakefront, The Breakaway is our little corner of Up North—a place to slow down, reconnect, and make memories that last long after the vacation ends.
Sunrises included.
Traveling with a smaller group? Ask us about our main cottage option for groups of up to 6 guests.
Pontoon boat rental available. Please inquire for details.

About the host
Hosted by Grant & Amanda Abbott
We grew up vacationing Up North and always dreamed of owning a place on the water to share with family and friends. The Breakaway is our cozy little slice of lake life, and we’re so excited to share it with others looking to slow down, relax, and make memories together. The area reminds us of home where our kids grew up in Ontario and we fell in love with it.
Why they chose this property
The quiet, easy going vibe of the area, solitude and the sounds of wildlife made us fall in love with this property.
What makes this property unique
Long Lake in Hillman is such a gorgeous and diverse lake with so much wildlife. One of the cleanest and clearest inland lakes in Michigan! Truly a very very special place to spend some time...catch some fish...or some sunshine.
