Long Lake Stone Cottage in Traverse City Frontage Kayaks Fire pit Pet friendly

My husband and I stayed 3 nights at Lakeside Cottage to check out the area. From the moment I stepped through the front door, the cottage reminded me of a lake cottage I used to stay in as a kid during our summer trips to Wisconsin. It is so quaint and cozy with amazing views of the lake. The hosts are wonderful, the amenities terrific and I would highly recommend this property if you are touring the area. There are so many things to do within a short drive and lovely to come home to such a cute house after our day's adventure was done.

Amazing property - best lake in the state!

Great communication, pet friendly, close to Traverse City, forgot items in the house and Cathy promptly mailed them to us. Thank you

The pictures do not do this authentic, cozy, CLEAN and comfortable, cottage justice. Lakestone is more than a vacation rental; it's an experience, and the owner, Ms. Cathy, is by far the most hospitible, thoughtful, and kind hosts I have ever booked with. She went exceptionally above and beyond what is expected to make our stay better than perfect.....

This adorable lake cabin was the perfect stay for our 3 night Traverse City trip. It has the most incredible lake views and water frontage. The outdoor living area offers several sitting areas, fire pit and brand new dock to watch the sunsets. The indoor living space had everything we needed and more. It’s conveniently located and easy to get to everything and everywhere. The owner was graciously available if needed. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Traverse City.

We booked a last minute up north stay here for a weekend. Pros: Great location overlooking the lake. Beautiful setting at sunset House was clean Furniture was comfortable Close to Traverse City, wineries, golf, restaurants... Cons: The only con was it was on a fairly busy road, although it didn't bother us much. We will definitely visit again!

We loved our time at Lakestone Cottage! Here are some of the great things about it: The beds were very comfortable. My first couple of nights on a unfamiliar bed are usually pretty restless. I didn't have that problem at all - I slept well right from the very first night. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed, and even a few things we didn't think about but found very useful (some spices, chip clips, etc.). The AC kept up really well, and we were very comfortable during our stay. The water heater had impressive capacity. Four grown people showered right in a row, and none of us ever ran out of hot water. It was wonderful to have a garage to park in! The washer and dryer were super helpful, especially when we came in from the lake. We could pop our towels and suits in the dryer and they were all ready for the next time. The outside space was beautiful. We enjoyed making campfires in the fire pit, and the sunsets were beyond spectacular. It was also really nice to have some yard space where we could play yard games as a family. Lastly, Cathy was an incredible host! She was very accommodating, and made the entire stay so easy.

Delightful cottage. Clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. Owner communication was excellent. Definitely recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at Lakestone cottage. It’s cozy and has all the amenities you need. Beds were surprisingly comfortable. Owner is great to work with and the outdoor space is inviting. We’ll definitely rent again when we get back to the area!

My family absolutely enjoyed our relaxing long weekend visit to this sweet cottage! It has been thoughtfully appointed with pretty much everything you could need to feel right at home! The kitchen is fully stocked with supplies, even plastic baggies and plastic wrap. As a lady I especially appreciated the cosmetic mirror in the bathroom, as I forgot mine as home! The setting and aesthetic of the cottage is serene and allows for great family memories! Cathy was a helpful host and easy to communicate with. She even offered ideas of local kid friendly attractions when we had rainy weather. Between the many board/card games and Roku my family had plenty of entertainment when we were indoors. Overall we had a great weekend trip and I highly recommend Cathy’s lovely cottage!
