Living Room:
With plenty of seating for the whole family, the living room is a wonderful place to unwind and admire the lake. The comfortable L-shaped couch sits across from a large Roku TV that can be used to sign into any streaming services.

Outdoor Space:
Walking out of the sliding glass doors facing the lake, you’ll find the expansive deck. There is an inviting hot tub that was brand new just before 2023. A grill is included which is perfect for a summer barbecue. The deck also includes a live fire pit with bench seating for your whole family. Walking down the stairs toward the lake, you’ll find a dock with a peddle-boat that you’re welcome to use!

The first room you’ll enter is a tiled mud-room great for keeping your shoes, coolers, and jackets.

Enjoy the entire cottage and outdoor amenities all to yourself. There is no garage, but there is room for 4 vehicles in the driveway.

I won't be available in person but you can reach me at any time via Airbnb messaging or phone :) Should you have an emergency both our cleaner and maintenance man live nearby.

Long Lake is an all sports lake with a sand bar on the west end. Boaters in the summer anchor out in the knee deep water and sip on their favorite summer drink while their kids play with the neighbors. There is a bar and grill on the lake that offers pizza and a patio facing the water. Loggers Monument is a short drive away offering great views of the Au Sable river and ample hiking trails for guests. Lake Huron is a 30 minute drive from the cottage - where you can enjoy a night in quaint East Tawas or a day at the sandy beaches in Oscoda. There are boat rentals, side by side rentals, and snowmobile rentals available if you’d like to plan an outdoor activity for you and your group while here as well.
