    Doris is very responsive which is really a plus. The location of the cabin was great. Our adult kids enjoyed taking the kayaks out one morning on the lake. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate for them to go out more than one day. There were a few suggestions for improvements that we sent along to Doris that would make this a 5 star stay but all in all - it was a nice place to spend a week in lovely northern Michigan.

    Great place and awesome location. Garage was loaded with stuff to play with (kayaks, beach toys, bikes etc). Kitchen was fully stocked. Beach towels and chairs provided. The owner was responsive and helpful. The beds were very comfortable which can’t be overlooked when booking a home. The layout of the bedrooms and bathrooms was great. The house was very clean. It was an amazing experience. Long Lake is great. Clear, warm, calm with great scenery. The nearby beach was perfect with shade if needed. We could easily drive to all our favorite places without being in the car too long: the dunes, traverse city, Suttons bay, hop lot, etc..We only wish we could have walked directly to the beach without having to walk down a main road. Would book again!

    Cabin was well stocked will everything you need and more! Appreciated the beach mats and chairs, fenced in yard, and a nice sized kitchen. Plenty of room for our family of five to stretch out after a long day of sight seeing.

    Great place and very clean! It was such a treat to enjoy coffee in the morning on the covered patio and enjoy the weather and view. We used the kayaks 4-5 times. We were a little nervous about caddying the kayaks along the road to the public beach, but the drivers in the area were courteous. The location was very convenient to drive to different places.

    Just a lovely property in an amazing area. The home was perfect for our family of two parents and four college-aged kids. Lots of room and still cozy enough for some nice hang-out time. Great winter getaway. Highly recommended!

    We really enjoyed our stay this Fall. House is great and roomy. Nice view of the lake. Great location to easily go to downtown TC or to wineries in the area. Look forward to going back!

    Quiet, peaceful location with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and have their own space. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with coffee and enjoying the lake view. House was exactly as pictured and very comfortable. The area has a ton to offer! Once we figured out how to properly use the little wheeled kayak pulleys (push, don't pull) it was easy getting the kayaks to the beach. Such a fun lake to kayak on, very clean, clear and warm water and cool to have the little islands as destinations. Gallaghers farm stand has great produce and baked goods, only 8 minutes away, and Traverse City is only 15ish minutes for a ton of great restaurant choices! Rented ebikes to do the wine trail one day as well--highly recommend!

    We loved staying here! Highly recommend this house if you have a larger family. My four teens had plenty of space to spread out. We also loved the fenced in yard for our dog.

    This was the perfect spot for a relaxing family trip. Weather was gorgeous, nearly 20 degrees cooler than the rest of the Mideast. Only hiccup was there’s no direct lake access due to some newly installed fencing by the neighbors. To get a kayak in the water you have to caddy it a couple hundred yards down the road to a nearby public access beach. Not a big deal, the cabin and outdoor space are immaculate and the location was convenient to a number of day trips.
