The walk down to the lake was a little longer than we would have liked but overall it was a fantastic vacation place.We had plenty of room to live for a week with the spacious great room .The dining room table switched conveniently from a place to eat into a family gathering for evening games and cards.The large wrap around porch provided another area of outdoor gathering for morning coffee to plan the day’s activities. We would consider rebooking in the future.
This home is large and adequately equipped. Excellent new dock and nice beach with direct access. Great location. Mattresses are badly worn and back room Queen is awful. Wraparound porch was nice w swing. Excellent lake for water skiers.

The home and location were great. Beautiful lake view from the porch, dock for our pontoon,m lake swimming, fire pit each night and enjoyed Traverse City and surrounding area. Hiking, boating and fishing. First time on M22 and some very good restaraunts and small towns to experience.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family group of 6 adults (three generations) enjoyed our second summer vacationing at this historic, secluded, cool lakeside lodge. Numerous improvements had been made; we so appreciated the increased lighting, new washer/dryer, and how very clean the whole place was when we arrived. The new dock is sturdy and makes swimming much easier with the steps down into the water. The kitchen is well stocked, and we loved both casual lunches on the back patio, and gathering at the large dining table for dinner. Proximity to Traverse City shopping and attractions is terrific. We rented a kayak and used the canoe that comes with the rental too. Long Lake is clear and very swimmable, with buoys marking a loon preserve across the lake from the lodge. We heard loons every morning and night, and even saw a few. Guests should be warned that this is not a very accessible house; that's the down side. We brought 2 grandmothers, but couldn't bring the third because she can't do stairs. A few ramps here would go a long way.

Back porch gives you a great view of the property and overlooking the lake. The lake is always calm even on windy days which is nice compared to Traverse Bay when you have small children. Would highly recommend.

The location was incredible with a private beach, a beautiful dock for our boat, a canoe and rowboat and a delightful fire pit right by the lake. Your home was exquisite in every way - all the rooms beautifully decorated with impressive antiques, a spacious well-stocked kitchen, a comfortable and cozy living room, a gigantic wraparound porch, and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. What a beautiful place to make lifelong memories!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved this house! The Lodge was perfect for our family getaway with our older kids. House had everything we needed in a beautiful forest setting not far from Traverse City. Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and space. We would love to return next year. My only suggestion would be that the driveway be plowed. Our 4Runner had no trouble getting up the driveway but our kids parked at the bottom having vehicles without 4 wheel drive. It had snowed the night before our arrival and was a little slick.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This vacation rental provided a wonderful experience. We stayed in late October and the colors were at a peak. Situated in a deep forest setting right on the lake, one experiences seclusion and quiet with all the lake views. Better yet the home was built in the 1880s and is fully updated. The furniture and decor are antique yet there are all the modern conveniences one would expect in a great vacation rental. Plenty of outlets, efficient heating and cooling, great cable and internet, yet like living in the past. The rental is also pet friendly and on a very quiet road ideal for walking the pets and by ourselves. The lake is shallow and very clean. The sunsets were stunning. The fireplace was functional (need to supply your own wood and kindling). Kitchen was well equipped, and the bedrooms are like from a bed and breakfast. We will definitely stay again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was located close to everything we needed in Traverse City and the Farm where the wedding was. House overall clean except a few minor things. Beds could use new mattresses. The property fit our needs too bad it wasn’t warm enough to enjoy the outdoor porches more.
We had an excellent time at our cabin on Long Lake. Kids enjoyed the water.
