Long Lake House on the Sandies

We are friends of more than 59 years, 2 sets of grandparents now, who have traveled together for decades. Lots of VRBO'S in our history. Grand old place, wonderful waterfront location, nice yard and sitting areas, great town, beautiful layout and woodwork, house of memories. Really in need of some deep cleaning, organization and updating. Criticism seems inappropriate considering the love we felt for this old house. Its so obviously a place for family fun. We did have fun! Some things really do need attention tho, in order to offer the best rental experience.

Stayed there before Already booked for next year

This was the second year that our family has vacationed in this cottage. It is very large, easily accommodating our family of 8. The place is very comfortable and welcoming. The beds are comfortable, as is the furniture. The owner is very responsive to questions and requests for assistance, although assistance was requested only once in our two years. The WIFI was insufficient for our adult children to be able to work effectively. The owner quickly arranged for an upgrade of equipment and the problem was solved. The yard is large and clean. The view is spectacular with a wonderful swimming beach.

Great Up North home on Long Lake. Beautiful sunsets. Everything you need for a family get away to Northern Michigan!

The house was amazing! It was a step back in time but with all of the modern amenities of cooking, sleeping, showering and relaxing. We had a group of eight adults that traveled 4 hours north to celebrate our dad turning 80. My parents, my brother & wife, my sister & husband, myself and husband all enjoyed our four days together. Long lake has beautiful sunsets and relaxing mornings. We will be back!

Great place with great views! Will book again!

It's a magical place! We felt as though we were in a time warp from the 40s. Such great space, beautiful porch for morning coffee and evening wine. We hope to come back!

We got to spend a week at this cottage and each day was nothing short of memorable. The cottage is amazing and roomy and feels like home instantly. Equipped with all the things you’ll need for meals and entertainment. Lawn games, floaties, fire pit, outdoor bar & a grill. You cannot find a better spot on Long Lake! The water is warm, sandy and shallow. Perfect for kiddos. We’ll be back next summer if you’ll have us!

loved everything about it

Great house rental for a few families separating bedrooms and large shared space. Best collection of kitchenware I have found in rental along with clean useable grill. Owner very responsive and easy to get a hold of with any questions. Nice place to make summer memories!
