Great Family Vacation

This was a great place to stay with a young family. There were many amenities on property, and we especially enjoyed the pontoon boat. The owner was very helpful and easy to communicate with. We will be back!

Great little cottage on Long Lake. Very close to the water. Not fancy but comfortable. Multiple opportunities for lake recreation and the pontoon boat was a lot of fun. The three AC window units were a plus during the hot and humid days we experienced during our stay.

Perfect getaway

My family loved our stay here. We had 3 adults, 3 teens (17, 15, 13) and 1 child (12). We took the pontoon boat out for fishing; we all used the paddle boards and kayaks; the raft was probably the highlight because the kids jumped and dove off of it for hours. We went for hikes and enjoyed the fire pit area. It was overall an amazing weekend. Thank you, Bryan, for letting us stay in your lake house.

Great vacation

This was the perfect vacation for our family of 6. My husband, myself and our 4 kids had a great time. The lake is beautiful and the property was perfect. We enjoyed fishing off the dock and exploring the islands with the pontoon. The kids loved the kayaks and paddle boards. We played cornhole and had a fire with s’mores every night. We will definitely be back

Amazing!

We had a very relaxing vacation. The lake is so clean and clear! We spent a lot of time on the pontoon exploring the islands. We also did a lot of fishing and swimming in various parts of the lake. We enjoyed all the boating options as well. We also played corn hole, cooked out, read outside, had many fires (and s’mores), and fished from the pier. We had a great 4th of July week!

Perfect Vacation Spot

This was our first time staying in Northern Michigan and we hit the jackpot choosing this home. The location is great as it is a short 15-minute trip to Traverse City with easy access to Sleeping Bear Dunes, wineries, kayaking trips, etc. Bryan met us during the check in process and filled us in on everything that we needed to know for our stay. The house was very clean, and the yard was absolutely perfect for our family. The views of Long Lake are gorgeous, and the lake is very clean for swimming, etc. Definitely opt for the water package as the kayaks, boats and the pontoon were a big hit with our family. We will definitely be back.

This is a seasoned home on a beautiful lake front

If you are looking for a Great Lake front, Great Lake views from kitchen and living room (so close it feels like you are on a boat) this is it. Comfortable home , no frills but everything you need. The lot location was cool!!! We felt secluded !!! All the outside room you need. The pontoon boat was a 2018 brand new perfect boat. Weather was cold, so we only went out one day for three hours. Host was very helpful.

Fell in love with this lake house and location!

Property was exactly as advertised. Everything was clean and in working order. Special touches with the basket of info for restaurants and other local recommendations. The check in was so easy and the communication from the owner was excellent! We relaxed each night at the fire pit with s’mores and family while seeing the moon reflect off beautiful Long Lake. The weather was wonderful. We had a couple of days right at 70 degrees and then some in the 60’s. Nights were cooler which made gathering around the fire so much fun! We were able to visit Sleeping Bear Dunes which is a must see and had a great meal at The Cove in Fishtown. Everything you need is so close, but at the lake house you feel far away from city noise. The house is literally right on the lake! We will be returning for sure!!

Wonderful lakeside getaway!

My wife, my mother, and I wanted to spend some family time together on a lake and exploring/experiencing the Traverse City area in Michigan. We found this property and it exceeded our expectations! It was exactly what we were looking for in terms of amenities and location. We enjoyed the games that were in the cottage, as well as the amazing views of the lake. Our favorite part was being able to take the pontoon boat out on the lake and do a little bit of fishing while exploring the beautiful scenery! We were just a short drive away from Traverse City, too. It was very hard for us to leave! We totally recommend staying here if you are considering it.

We really enjoyed our time here. The property is beautiful and had plenty of room for the family to play in and out of the water. We also had a very large truck and boat and while the driveway was tight, we were able to successfully navigate it each day. We would stay here again.

Cozy cabin good for small families

My family of 4 (2 children) enjoyed staying at the cabin. Beautiful views, very nice location, cooperative and responsive homeowners. We rented the boat package. It was too cold to end up using it much but the pontoon was very nice and the rental would have been worth it if the weather had been nicer.

Wonderful stay

We had a great time and the house was in a great spot. I almost wished I could have stayed longer. The weather was a little cold and wet to be able to enjoy the outside environment, but would love to try next year. If I had to say one bad thing is that the beds were hard and I did not sleep well other than that the place was wonderful, thank you.
