Make a splash at this up north 1950s vintage cabin-style home on 100 feet of beautiful Long Lake. This vintage cottage has a great ‘step back in time’ feel, with many current updates to create an enjoyable stay. Splash Landing features 4-bedrooms and 2-bathrooms welcoming up to eight guests at a time.

Walk into the open living/dining room area, with lovely hardwood floors and large windows with a view of the lake. Plenty of room for eating, curling up by the wood-burning fireplace, or watching a good movie. To the right, there are two bedrooms on the main floor. The first bedroom has a queen bed and a twin bed, and the second has a queen bed. To the left of the living room, there is a large full kitchen with a dishwasher. The kitchen includes a breakfast area. A full bathroom with a shower/tub combo is to the left of the kitchen at the top of the steps leading to the basement.

The finished walk-out basement has plenty of room, a washer and dryer are under the stairs. There are two bedrooms on the basement level one with a queen bed; the second has a full bed. There is a sofa bed in the spacious lower-level family room. A full bath with a shower/tub combo is available on the lower level. This is a great location to enjoy some downtime, with lots of books to curl up with and board games too! And that is only the inside!

Outside beautiful Long Lake is waiting. There are a few steps down to the lake from the patio area. Swimming, boating, and fishing are just outside the door! A row boat for some fishing fun is included! The lake has a nice sandy bottom for the little ones. A charcoal grill and picnic table are available for an outdoor meal, and the firepit makes a perfect evening gathering place. A Dock and boat mooring is available and will accommodate up to a 17’ boat 3000lbs max. Do not tie up to the dock, it is for loading and unloading only. (Dock not guaranteed after Labor Day Weekend or before June 15) there is a camera facing the dock for security purposes.

This home is in a great location, an easy drive to Traverse City and all it has to offer or head to Interlochen or Honor. This home is 30 miles from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. Try South Long Lake Forest Natural Area for a family hike, it is less than five minutes away. Boone's Long Lake Inn is 1.5 miles down the road, or Taqueria TC Latino has great Mexican food, just 4 miles away!

Sorry no AC, fans provided. Your well-mannered dog is welcome. No Smoking.

    We appreciated the updated stairs to the water. Our 4 days were comfortable and the kitchen had ever we needed.

    Lovely property for our family! The kitchen, however, was ill-supplied i.e. lots of mis-matched and/or lidless old pots and pans, all poorly organized - we had to search to find two decent fry pans, only one of which had a lid, and there are lots of spacious cabinets, largely empty, to search through. The kitchen table overlooking the lake was wonderful - we played a lot of cribbage there - and the little desk nook was perfect for our laptop. What a beautiful lake, and if the weather had cooperated we would have spent most of our time outdoors - unfortunately it was very cold and rainy. So nice to have a fireplace and lots of wood to take the chill off - a much-appreciated warm and cozy up-north vibe.

Reviewer Comments: Ok but things didn’t work like tv in main room coffee put had a sign on it that it was broken luckily I was able to get ahold of management they sent over a new one , but I was surprised the cleaning lady didn’t report or replace it the floors were sticky and two of the fans were shot otherwise was pleasant.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My brother and I wanted to rent a home for our mother who doesn't travel much. This was a last minute booking so I was worried we wouldn't like the house. It was a really good deal. We pulled up after my mom and brother had gotten there and my mom walked out with a thumbs up. She immediately said I love this place! It's an older home, but a feel of a cottage. My husband and two kids (age 6 and 8) all had a great time. We had a fire and the kids loved picking a room. My mom said she would love to rent this house again. Thank you!

    This is an oversized 50s cabin right on the water that we stayed at in the dead of winter. It is very charming and includes most of the original features. Everything works, beds are comfy, and we had a great stay!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Splash Landing was a wonderful retreat. This was the third time my family has been here, and we love it each time. The cottage was very clean , the beds comfortable, the view beautiful. We loved our morning walks, hanging out by the water and having campfires. The only thing missing was a fully functional BBQ, as I had been told there would be a propane grill but instead there was a charcoal grill without any charcoal or lighting fluid, so make sure to bring your own supplies for a cookout. We instead cooked out inside and it was fine! The rowboat was fun to take out but the oars were super squeaky so those just need a little oil or something. Other than those two minor issues, it was a wonderful long weekend away from the hustle and bustle or everyday life. We will definitely be back again! It's out Up North Happy Place, for sure!

    I grew up spending my summers at Long Lake at my grandparent's cottage. If you understand what going up north used to mean and what a classic cottage was like back in the day then this place is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for you It has all the elements of that retro era with all the modern day amenities (dishwasher, two full bathrooms--one on each floor, and a washer and dryer! AWESOME! Oh! And there's even a piano.) You have a stunning view of the lake from the entry level and immediate, easy access to a covered patio and deck/fire pit areas as well as a lengthy dock that accommodates both an on-site row boat and an open boat rack. This place is a great family get-away as well as a special girls (or guys for that matter) relaxed retreat. Homey and comfy. Bonus--the lily of the valley that line the driveway were in full bloom and their scent was just heavenly! I'll be returning--this time with my whole family in tow!

    Great neighborhood, wonderful lake. Location is very convenient to Traverse City and Interlochen. Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, a massive storm blew through the area and destroyed the dock just before we arrived. So, we were not able to take full advantage of the property. The owner/management company did what they could to address our concerns.
