The LAKEHAUS is an exceptional home located on Long Lake just outside Traverse City with 128' feet of waterfront to spend your lake vacation. Long Lake, an all sports lake is one of the most popular lakes in the area just a few miles from Traverse City. Long Lake is quite large and allows all types of watercraft. There are 5 islands throughout the lake to visit and explore and there is fantastic fishing on Long lake. Long Lake is in high demand because it is the largest inland lake nearest to Traverse City.
