What a lovely location with an absolutely top notch host. Can’t say enough positive things about this vacation spot, Ryan and his family have thought of every detail and the home is exactly as pictured. Great lake views while drinking morning coffee, and a very well equipped kitchen. We had a short but fantastic stay while visiting family in the area, and we are looking forward to a return visit soon! Thanks Ryan!

Amazing for families and younger kids with the beach area, shallow waters, and big yard. The cottage is far from the main road which was a concern with littles and offered a lot of privacy. My family and I have taken vacations every year and this was one of the cleanest places we’ve stayed in & the beds were very comfortable!

Perfect Family Vacation Spot

We had a wonderful stay at Hidden Springs. The house was clean and comfortable, and the views of the lake are spectacular. The little beach area, fire pit, and kayaks were the cherry on top of the perfect family vacation. Ryan was also accommodating to our change in travel plans and was very communicative.

Amazing location, fantastic communication and immaculately clean! We loved everything about this stay. The home has a great floor plan and beautiful view. Shooting stars and milky way gazing from the hot tub and lazy days exploring beaches and nearby towns. Wonderful host. We saw a bobcat, loons and a pair of cranes while here. Thank you so much for the perfect family vacation!

We loved this location and house! We are a family of 4 and there were plenty of things for everyone to do. We loved the lake and how close we were to the dunes. The house was very well stocked with kitchen items. We used the kayaks and canoes and had no problem reaching the owner with any questions. We loved our stay and will be happy to stay again when we go back to Michigan.

Beautiful location, stunning views. Had everything we needed. We were a group of friends that came to do the 70.3 Ironman. Close to Frankfort for our race. Ryan was great at communicating.We loved the sunsets and sunrise on the lake so pretty. The fire pit was awesome at nighttime we saw lots of stars and a shooting star. The canoes were an added treat to go on the lake.Overall our stay was fantastic would definitely recommend.

One of THE BEST getaways that we have ever experienced!!

This lovely house completely exceeded any expectations that we had! The location was so private, the layout of the house itself was perfect, and the views were...breath taking! The private beach was probably the most favorite part for our family...for our 2 young daughters to be able to get their bathing suits on and run right outside to kayak and swim, was priceless. We will definitely be staying again in the future...

Perfect!

This was our third year staying at this beautiful home on Long Lake. The location is lovely, the small private beach has lots of sand to play in and a dock from which to watch the sunrises and sunsets, the home is spacious and includes everything needed, the owners are very helpful and responsive. We love this area and the home and Tiny House. Can’t wait to return!

We loved the cottage. The kitchen has everything you could need. We enjoyed the kayaks and row boat. The beach was perfect for our two year old grand daughter. We will definitely rent again.

Beautiful cottage on a lovely lake.

Beautiful clean cottage on lovely lake.Everything you'll need for a wonderful vacation! Enjoyed the sunrise every morning out of the large windows,and just a short drive to a Lake Michigan sunset. Enjoyed the small towns in area and Sleeping Bear Dunes is stunning! Don't miss the Old Indian Trail right across the main road. Canoeing on the Platte River is another must do! We would Love to come back some day soon!

Perfect vacation home

My family has stayed at Hidden Springs on Long Lake for five years in a row now, and each visit has been absolutely delightful. I love having coffee while watching the sun rise over the lake. My husband takes a kayak ride each morning. The beach is so lovely for wading and making castles. The Tiny House is perfect for our adult kids to have their own space. We look forward every year to time visiting Frankfort, Empire, hiking the trails, and this year we discovered Lake Ann, which is lovely. Already looking forward to next summer!
