Beautiful Sandy Beach on Long Lake, Traverse City area.

Beautiful property with an amazing beach and swim area. Easy check-in and well appointed kitchen. Great communication from host. Enjoyed staying in this classic up-north lake cottage-home!

All four of us (2 couples) who stayed here were extremely happy with the home, the lake, the neighborhood, and the general area. I searched hard for just the right place, and this was exactly what we were looking for. The home itself is clean and comfortable. Well-furnished kitchen, good wi-fi, comfortable beds, a/c. Great selection of books and games. The owners were very responsive and kind, e.g., offering to mail us something we’d left behind. The living room faces the lake and is all windows,so there's a beautiful view even before stepping outside. Lake even quieter than I’d hoped. The house is off of an already quiet dead-end road with woods around. During the week we were there, jet skis went by only a few times while we were outside, but otherwise it was quiet fishing boats or pontoon boats. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and the dock. Wonderful water for swimming. The floating dock was fun to swim to. I noticed a past reviewer mentioned the dock wasn’t clean so I do want to mention that the docks were very clean for us. We enjoyed the 2 kayaks and paddleboard (there was also a paddle boat, which we didn’t try out). In addition to just relaxing at the cottage, we enjoyed visiting Sleeping Bear Dunes, swimming at Empire Beach, sailing on west Gr Traverse Bay, and visiting the Mission Pt Lighthouse beach. Many thanks to the Cernys for sharing their family cottage with us.

Typical 60’s home, not recently updated. Window A/C x2 did a fair job of cooling the home. Fair on the cleanliness ..Throw rugs old..bathroom rugs not recently washed, grill disgusting, frig dirty. Beds and towels, etc good. Nice deck and dock. Plenty of kitchen dishes, etc. Cookware very old.

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The property is nice and kept up well. The location is very convenient with shopping and eating options nearby and close to TC and other great towns. Owner was nice and responsive. One suggestion is to consider a bird deterrent for the dock. We were hoping to drop a line in but it was difficult to navigate due to the mess from the seagulls.

This house exceeded all of our expectations. It’s a beautiful home with lots of charm. This house has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The location is the perfect distance for everything you need and want to explore. Our children age 3 and 4 enjoyed the soft sandy bottom shallow water and playing in the house when it rained. We We had a wonderful, perfect family vacation getaway. Very pleased! Highly recommend. We will be back!!!

Very happy with the home and location on Long Lake

We are grateful for the opportunity to relax & recreate.

Overall not a bad property. The owner was easy to get ahold of. It was not as clean as I hoped but our family is picky as we used to run a cleaning business. We left the kitchen cleaner than when we arrived. It was not a huge deal and I did notify the owner upon check out. We told our teenagers to use the outside shower as they like to take long ones and the owners feel strongly about water conservation. We did do one load of laundry. Someone spilled on their shirt so we considered that to be an emergency but made sure we did a full load to justify doing it, We had plenty of space to spread out and not be on top of each other. We noticed some ants which was not surprising due to the lot being fairly wooded. We let Ralph know upon check out as well. Kitchen was well stocked with condiments and seasonings along with other staples. There were plenty of cleaning supplies on hand to clean up. Overall a nice place to stay.

Our family spent Labor Day weekend at the house. House was comfortable, lake access was great. Ralph, the owner, was kind and easily accessible at all times. Great family history in this property, the love and care for the home really shows. Had a great time fishing, caught many large and small mouth bass.

The location of property was good, sandy beach and water was as stated in listing. Swim platform was not useable due to alarge amount of duck droppings on top. Some areas inside house were not clean upon arrival. We were asked to put mole traps outside in the yard, Shower door in 2nd bathroom would not stay closed, Handrail outside of main entrance was loose and inside door handle kept falling off, water conversation was required, Ralph suggested we use the shower outside, coffee pot had liquid and coffee grounds in it, only 3 rooms were remodled and the 2nd bedroom had a mold smell. Blue rule book in livingroom had instructions that conflicted with those posted on the refrigerator about cleaning the house and had a phone contact number for cleaning lady. We did not use her as we paid a cleaning fee thru VRBO. Food was left in the refrigerator. Floor in master bathroom was not clean. Ralph said his son had stayed in the house the week before we arrived. Ralph did not seam happy that we brought my pontoon boat with use. Use of his pontoon boat was not authorized.
