    We really enjoyed this property. Great to sit on the dock and enjoy morning coffee while watching a giant snapping turtle swim by.

    I have stayed on several properties on Long Lake and this location on the lake was the best. If you like quiet and peace this is the place. Very clean property, nice sandy bottom as you enter the lake, sunrises to get your day going, close to cove and Lake Mickey for kayaking. The house was perfect size for my wife for and I. I really appreciated not having a bunch of rooms to straighten out before leaving, which made it soo easy when checking out and to keep that way during our stay. Gary was great to work with before and during our stay.

    We were welcomed with a bag of local goodies and a bottle of wine, very classy! We so enjoyed our stay. This little home had everything we could possibly need. The Beautiful setting was so peaceful and relaxing. The boat lift wasn’t working but we were alerted to this way in advance and it was still usable to dock our boat. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need! There were plenty of towels, which I really appreciated. There was a picnic table and patio furniture and outdoor lighting. The only thing I would have any complaint about is the bed. It is very uncomfortable. This is the only thing I would change. Thank you.

    This is our second time of the property and, as with the first, it was fantastic! Could not be cuter, and a perfect location. You are away from Traverse City if you want to be away and you are in town in 10 minutes if you want to be in town. A great spot to enjoy the beauty of Long Lake and the amenities of Traverse City.

    We had an amazing stay. The cabin is small but clean and well maintained. You can definitely tell it’s been well cared for and newly updated. It’s in a perfect location, secluded down a tree-lined street but right on the water of Long Lake. While boat traffic was a bit busy on the lake, it didn’t hinder our ability to enjoy the lake including opportunities to swim and use the kayaks. There are lots of places and space to go off and explore the lake and get away from the boat traffic (which really wasn’t bad at all). The inside of the cabin is just as described. It’s clean and open, large kitchen leading to a living room with a pull out couch and a day bed (which was really comfortable to sleep on) and has great views of the water. The bathroom was a bit small but it’s clean and functional. The host was very easy to communicate with if we had any questions, he had great suggestions for things to do and places to eat. Overall we truly enjoyed ourselves and would love to stay again.

    We really enjoyed our stay. Although there were neighbors you couldn't tell that there was the way it is set up. We totally enjoyed the deck, the kayaks and having a little area to sit in the water if you'd want.

    I very much enjoyed my week at this lovely cottage. Great location with most everything one could want. Perfect for one or two people, with a day bed for a third. Nice fire pit outside, with table and chairs for outdoor eating or sitting. Two kayaks available for use. Well equipped kitchen for foodies. Watching and listening to the loons was a wonderful plus. Owner was very helpful and prompt to respond to questions.
