Traverse City, Michigan
Our cottage is sure to give you the up north getaway you are looking for! Whether you are the adventurous type that wants to waterski/wakesurf, or the fisherman looking for great Bass or Walleye fishing, or you just want to relax on your 100' of private sandy beach, we are certain our cottage will fulfill your vacation desires. My husband and I bought this cottage in 2016. It was remodeled in 2016, and again in 2024 which includes a new kitchen and bathroom. We have new stainless steel appliances, flooring, furniture, and beds were new in 2018. (For this reason, we don't allow pets at all or smoking of any kind at our property). Our home is situated at the end of a private cul de sac, only 15 feet from the beautiful sandy beach and water's edge. Our neighborhood offers a private park just at the end of our quiet street where you can have a family game of baseball, volleyball, disc golf, and let the little ones swing and play on the play structure. The fun you can have here is limitless! We have a paddleboat, canoe, kayak, paddle board, private dock, corn hole, a grill for your catch of the day, and a fire pit for s'mores and sitting around after a long day of swimming or waterskiing. The location couldn't be better for your up north getaway! We are less than 10 minutes to the famous Oaky's Tavern in Interlochen, less than 10 minutes to the nationally acclaimed best ice cream shoppe in America...MOOMERS. We are only about 15 minutes from downtown Traverse City. We are 10 minutes from The Interlochen Arts Academy. Close to many wineries, restaurants, breweries and about 30 minutes from the breathtaking Sand Dunes National Lakeshore. We are so excited for your next family vacation to Long Lake Cottage; sure to be filled with great memories. We have met all qualifications for the Township's approval and possess a Short Term Rental Certificate #STR22-00061.
The property is literally next to the lake, which makes for an incredible view. All necessary amenities and comfort for a small family. Communication was excellent throughout, and any questions were answered in a timely manner. If you’re looking to enjoy a lake with your own private beach, this is the place for you.
We could go on and on, so we’ll start with this: the family is wonderful. They live in the back house on the property, cottage is right on the waterfront. There was a few minor things that had to be addressed but those were taken care of right away by Jason and Susie. The cottage is exactly as described and we had a wonderful time. We had family and friends come and go visiting us, enjoyed many fire pit nights, beautiful sunrises drinking coffee on the beach, bbq’s, played cornhole, paddle boarded and kayaked around the quiet inlet on the Peninsula where the cottage is located. The covered patio was an awesome place to eat dinners and play cards. Henrick, their son rents out their pontoon boats and jet skis for use right there. Literally everything you need to enjoy Lake Life. Grocery stores, Moomers ice cream and downtown TC are all within 15 minute drive. We stayed there for just under a month so we truly got the full experience and the knowledge of the area. Susie and I became fast friends that will last a lifetime. I already miss her ❤️ I recommended my family stay in the cottage next year because of our daughter getting married up in Traverse City and they already booked it. The only thing I would recommend is to bring a few extra bath towels. Steps from the lake, this cottage will not disappoint. It’s not fancy, but met all our needs and would most definitely come back again! Marc and Denise (the Bakers) ❤️
This cabin was everything I was hoping for and more. The location is stunning and Suzy and her family were so helpful with anything we needed. Suzy did an amazing job making us feel welcomed and ensuring we had everything we needed to have the best time.
Family fun!!
Our famiy vacation went great, so much to do in Traverse City area. Jason and Suzy were great hosts, helped with anything we needed. The house is in a great location and kept very clean. We had a few barbecue cookouts, and had a great time eating, playing and boating!
Perfect stay away from home. Very home like and cozy.
We loved our time here. Our two kids enjoyed the mini beach and lake and kayaking/paddle boarding/etc. Fabulous location where you feel relaxed and away from the world but still close enough to get food and groceries and the comforts we enjoy. We will be back for sure!
We had the perfect stay at this charming waterfront property. We enjoyed all it had to offer: the outdoor patio area, the fire pit by the water in the evening for smore's, and the water gear (paddleboat and stand up kayak). The host was more than accommodating to our needs and had a sweet treat upon our arrival. Besides our fabulous stay, we left forming new friendships that we hope continue to flourish.
This cottage is perfect for what we were looking for. It’s in a nice, quiet area right on the water. The covered patio and sandy area in front of the lake are huge bonuses. It was just my husband and I but we can easily imagine bringing our kids next time. There is a park not too far as well. Suzy gave us great recommendations on places to try and things to do and even surprised us with some local treats! She was very responsive. The cottage was clean and exactly as advertised. Highly recommend!
This was a great get away
We had a wonderful getaway to Long Lake in the Traverse City area. Jason and Suzy were very hospitable and provided a comfortable and accessible location for our family to enjoy the beach and lake. The stand up paddle board, kayaks and paddle boat were great for enjoying the lake. The fire pit was perfect for making s’mores and enjoying the sunset. And the Weber grill was perfect for making burgers and ribs. Highly recommend!
A quiet getaway, perfect for the family. It can’t get any closer to the lake! Perfect, thanks!
It’s allll about the lake. So nice to have your morning coffee on the back deck overlooking the sunrise over Long Lake. Beautiful, clean lake that’s so clear and crisp. So nice to be able to have access to the kayaks, paddle boat and fishing boat whenever we wanted. Renting out the owner’s Pantoon boat was our favorite. It was pricey, but glad we took it out for half the day and swim off one of the many islands on the lake. We loved the fire pit and used it almost everyday. The family and kids are super nice and helpful too! Thank you Suzy & Family!!
Nice quiet home on a relaxing lake.
We stayed here for a week to get away from our busy lives and to celebrate a birthday. The view of the lake is like nothing we have seen before! The property is beautiful, we felt very safe in the neighborhood, the family was very helpful and so nice. We will absolutely be back one day!
Super clean, cute cottage just right for the four of us. The outdoor covered porch was great for hanging out and eating. We had great weather so got to spend a lot of time on the lake. Owners were very receptive and helpful when we had issues. Traverse City is a quick 20 minute drive for dinner out and Sleeping Bear hikes/beaches are about 40 minutes away.
The cottage was easy to find and very clean. Beautiful mornings that were quiet and so peaceful. We had a great time swimming, kayaking, canoeing, fishing and even used the paddle boat. We took day trips to the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes which were picturesque and only a short drive away. It was such a relaxing get-away and we would rent again. Communcation from the host was excellent as well.
The whole experience was everything we had wanted! The house was great - the air conditioning system was able to keep the place cool and comfortable, even on 90 degree days. The location on the lake was perfect! Being in a cove made things pretty calm and quiet, which was awesome for using the kayaks and paddle board. The property owners were always accessible and helpful, both while we were planning the trip and while we were actually there. Our whole family would absolutely recommend this place!
Literally, just a few feet from the edge of Long Lake. This converted vintage trailer was comfortable, very clean and provided is with all of the comforts of home. Suzy was incredible and communicated with us regularly via. text, VRBO, and in person. We would love to come back again.
