This is a beautiful three-bedroom cottage directly on Long Lake, one of Michigan's best lakes for fishing and boating.

Enjoy a private dock and swim in the crystal clear lake water. Use the mooring for your boat - there is a public launch just across the lake. There is a canoe for you to use. Long Lake has five islands that you can paddle to and explore. You can watch the sun set from the dock.

The house has three bedrooms (sleeps 6) and a common room with an open floor plan. There is an office and a deck that looks over the lake. The house has excellent wi-fi and a smart TV.

Summer Lark is a quiet house set back in the woods, but just 15 minutes from downtown Traverse City and all its activities. You can walk through the woods to the Timbers Recreation Area and enjoy lovely hikes. It is just a short drive to Interlochen, Leland and Sleeping Bear Dunes.

Main level: Master bedroom (queen bed), kitchen/dining/living room, office, full bathroom and deck.

Lower level: Second bedroom (queen bed) and third bedroom (three twin beds). Full bathroom.

We welcome pets, too.

Please note there are about five steps to get to the house, and then a longer set of steps to get down to the dock.

    Incredible stay! Only thing to note is that the entrance is very easy to miss (it's on a curve on the highway) - make sure your GPS is correct! Would definitely come back at any time. Hosts were so responsive, helpful, and there were so many local spots to hit.

    House was great!! Secluded and private but not too secluded. Very comfortable and relaxed area. House was very clean and neat when we got there. Host was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly! Deck overlook by woods and lake was great area to sit and relax with dogs. Close to traverse city (15-20 minutes) and close to sleeping bear approx. (30 minutes). Several very nice trails close by for hiking. Good access to food nearby in lake ann and traverse. Would highly recommend this place!

    Great location, loved the cottage! It was perfect for our family for a long weekend. Weather was cool and rainy, but we were close to lots of things to do.

    Beautiful home, plenty of space for us all. Appreciate all the attention to details and supplies.Not much of a lake view from the house because of the trees and getting down the 33 steps to the lake was challenging but when I did it was beautiful and the water was so clear. Definitely could’ve used more info about the amount of steps going into the house and down to the lake. But it is a wonderful house in the woods.

    What a lovely cabin, set amongst the treetops, with views of Long Lake and your own dock! Plenty close to Traverse City but with that secluded lake-cabin feeling! The property was exactly as pictured and had all the amenities needed for a great family trip! 10/10!

    Great cabin in the woods by the lake. Close to town if you want to go. Close to Lake Michigan and dunes if you want to go. Well stocked. Easy to get to.

    Summer Lark was a wonderful rental property. Tim was very good about communicating property specifics and the entire family had a memorable vacation (including the 2 fur babies). Great view of lake from the house, excellent dock located on the quiet north end of Long Lake. The house was located conveniently to all the Traverse City attractions. Would highly recommend this property - thanks Tim!!!

    Loved it all! The property and location were exactly as described. The welcome note and bottle of local wine left for us was such a nice touch.We loved exploring the area & visiting different wineries. Our Maltese was welcome just about everywhere. We will be back.

    We had a lot of fun at this property. It was as advertized. Made friends with the neighbor on the right.

    Great home nestled in the woods on beautiful Long Lake. Our group of four adults and two kids had a great week here. Summer Lark is very well-maintained, well-stocked, and has plenty of room to spread out. We enjoyed dinners on the deck, playing in the water, and cruising around the lake. Great location for other activities too. Owner Tim is spot on with communication-always prompt in responding to questions.
