About this property
Family Friendly Lake Vacation
Lovely lakefront cottage located on all-sports Long Lake includes: a large master bedroom with king size bed, a day bed, large walk in closet, work desk and floor space for blow-up bed, second bedroom includes 1 full size bed & 1 single (twin bed), third bedroom includes 1 queen size bed, two full bathrooms with plenty of towels, kitchen with new double oven, dishwasher and microwave, beverage refrigerator, wine refrigerator and bar area, a comfy living room with electric fireplace, large sectional and 55" TV, and sunroom with a pull-out couch (sleeps 2) and large dining area that has amazing views of the lake from every window, a large deck directly over the lake below with a gated locking system perfect for small children, an outdoor fire pit area, a gas grill. Home includes 2 Tvs (1 with cable/apple TV & 1smart Tv), phone and internet; washer and dryer. Water softener and on-demand water heater, water cooler.
Perfect for 6 guests. It is important to note that while the house could sleep up to 8 (if also using the sunroom pull-out couch), larger parties may feel crowded, and would be sharing sleeping quarters, so please keep this in mind when making your final booking decision. There are 3 main sleeping rooms, along with a 3 Seasons room that has a Sofa Sleeper for 2, so multiple families could each have their own room if desired. Note, there is a Barn on the premises that is currently undergoing construction & used for storage only (not available for rental usage. )Unfortunately, pets are not allowed.
The lakefront is directly below the house! It includes a lounge area and long dock, excellent for swimming, fishing and docking a boat. Little ones will enjoy catching minnows with their nets in the shallow water! The lake side boat house is filled with water toys, and has a refrigerator and electricity, so blowing up floats is easy! Enjoy the four adult kayaks, two youth kayaks, splash pad, and SUP board for lake fun.
During the season, the owner will have a pontoon & a Jet Ski (on lifts) next to the dock (we don't rent for safety and liability reasons). Guests are welcome to bring their own watercraft or can rent from a local Marina (ask owners for more info). Guests can use our dock to tie a boat on the opposite side of dock from our pontoon.
In the unlikely event you want to leave the cottage, nearby amenities include: Corey Lake Farms (Farmer's Market and U-pick seasonal produce), restaurants, horseback riding at Camp Eberhart, Swiss Valley Ski Resort and the charming downtown area of Three Rivers. In Three Rivers, you will find anything you need: grocery stores, petting zoos, movie theatre, boutiques, bowling alley, mini golf and medical services.
Looking for day trip ideas? Check out Shipshewana for shopping, festivals and Amish goods. Harbor Country offers beautiful beach days on Lake Michigan's shores and winery tours. ************************************************************************************ Notre Dame Stadium is only a 50-minute drive from our lake house. Hunters are also welcome to stay on our property during the season. For the winter, enjoy our heated home for some ice fishing or fun skiing at Swiss Valley (just 15 minutes away)!

About the host
Hosted by John Hounihan
Our family of four enjoys this cottage year-round. Our 2 boys spend all their cottage days outside. Summers are filled with swimming, fishing, kayaking, catching turtles, frogs, and fireflies, making s'mores and playing flashlight tag. In the winter, they enjoy sledding and tubing at Meyer Broadway Park, skiing at Swiss Valley Resort, walking across the lake and checking in with the ice fishermen, watching the snowmobilers zip by, and at dusk, the red fox scamper across the frozen lake! Fall brings beautiful colors to Long Lake and the wildlife viewing is spectacular. This is our second home- we enjoy elegant vacations around the world, but truly consider this "our happiest place." We've made many wonderful memories here, and we hope you will, too!
Why they chose this property
Just a short drive from the Chicago suburbs, where we live, our cottage quickly delivers us an escape from the daily grind. We enjoy our "together time" at the lake, playing board games, snuggling on the couch to watch movies, boating, water sports and fishing.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with our cottage the moment we stepped out on the deck and took in the stunning wrap-around lake views! Our custom made, long pine table on our deck is a favorite gathering spot where we spend much of our time visiting with friends and family - all have a place at our table. We love to entertain...a full house is a happy house!
