About this property

Long Lake Lakehouse - Private Vacation Paradise!

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. Downtown Traverse City is about 10 miles away. We include use of 2 Kayaks and 2 SUP's for your use with signed waiver prior to your visit.

The LAKEHAUS has a large expansive deck literally hanging out over the water with lots of seating and lounge chairs to relax on, a gas grill, gas firepit table and a private dock for your water toys, including a volleyball net right in the water! This home features a large natural fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs that overlooks Long Lake for relaxing with a glass of wine at the end of your day.

Interior of the home:

Indoors you find an expansive wall of windows view of Long Lake. Vaulted ceilings above and hardwood floors beneath are filled with natural light and stunning views. The living area has plenty of seating for your family, with views of the lake, a natural stone gas insert fireplace and a flat screen TV for entertainment on a rainy day (heaven forbid). The living area opens into the dining area that houses a table and chairs for 8 guests with additional seating at the kitchen island on the stools. The large kitchen is stocked with all of your cooking needs for serving your family a fine meal and plenty of storage for your food items. A bonus in the kitchen....a built in desk. Make remote work simple with having a work area to use, as well as a wireless printer. The main floor also has a full bath to use, as well as a full size washer and dryer. All of your linens (except beach towels) are included for your convenience.

The upper bedroom level is open and boasts more spectacular views of Long Lake from the Master bedroom. A fabulous way to wake up in the morning! Featuring a King size bed and a private Newly Renovated (2023) En Suite Master Bathroom with dual sinks, frames glass shower with rain head. The 2nd bedroom includes 2 queen size beds and also has a private En Suite Bathroom.

The 3rd Bedroom is located in the basement and was newly added as a legal bedroom. This large bedroom has a queen bed, large streaming Sony TV and large closet. The Powder Room that has a full shower on the main floor is the bathroom that is used by guests in the basement bedroom.

Exterior:

128' of Private lake frontage in a pristine wooded setting. Enjoy the quiet of your surroundings! Ahhhhh!!!! Listen to the loons in the morning on the deck with your coffee, or sit by the waters edge and toss in a fishing line to catch some great local fish.

The yard has a nice open area great for playing games (provided) such as the popular corn hole, ladder ball and badminton. The fire pit is perfect for making s'mores and sharing together time. The deck features a large dining table/chairs as well as a gas grill for outdoor dining and lounge chairs are available for napping or sunning yourself.

Other Things to Note:

The area hosts many activities; including the National Cherry Festival and other local festivals, Michael Moore`s Film Festival, arts and craft shows, concerts in the park, casino`s, wineries, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes (a must), performances at the widely acclaimed Interlochen Center for the Arts and the downtown Opera House; you`re certain to stay busy.

Family Celebration
Our extended family of 8 thoroughly enjoyed our opportunity to spend time together to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday and 2 members who were in from Germany. The location, beauty, lake access and amenities could not have been more perfect for our gathering. From beautiful sunrises and kayaking to bonfires and easy access to so many great sites, this beautiful home away from home is by far my favorite to date. Paul was an amazing host adding additional touches to make the trip even more special. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a fabulous getaway in the Traverse City or Sleeping Bear Dunes area. Can’t wait to go back!

Lakehaus
We enjoyed our seven day stay at the Lakehaus on Long Lake. The home is so light and comfortable and the grounds are very well maintained. We relaxed on the wonderful deck and used the firepit in the evening while we enjoyed some of the local wines. The kitchen was very well appointed. It was a pleasure to use the grill and enjoy some fine meals with our friends. Paul, the owner was in touch via text during our stay and he wanted to make sure everything was just right for our stay. Our stay was wonderful and I'm missing Long Lake.

Great Lake Getaway
This house was amazing and had great access to Long Lake. We were able to use the kayak and SUPs on Long Lake for the sunny day in September. The house was clean and had every amenities you may need during your stay. The house was only about 25 minutes from Traverse City which made it easy to get into the city for food and drinks. Paul was a great host. He communicated very clearly and promptly. I would recommend the Lakehaus for anyone wanting a nice relaxing getaway with beautiful lake views and access in a comfortable and spacious house.

Beautiful rental with an amazing beachfront - perfect for families
We had a wonderful time at the Lakehaus. The home itself felt like home, we honestly wish we could have spent multiple weeks there. The beachfront at the lake is so great for kids. The sand is soft, and there's plenty of shallow water for the kids to play in. We really appreciated Paul & family sharing their lake toys with us. The beds are comfortable, the home is spacious, and very clean. The home honestly had everything we needed to allow us to just enjoy our time on this wonderful lake. We hope to stay again! Our only wishlist item would be space at the dock to park any boat we rent, but we made do with the mooring. Thanks again for sharing your home with us!

About the host

Hosted by Paul Baily

Host profile image
We are new to Long Lake and purchased here in 2021. I grew up in Michigan and we have lived in 3 different states with Michigan by far our favorite. We enjoy outdoor activities such as biking, hiking and exploring. The winery and brewery tours are also favorites. We love all of the festivals that Traverse City hosts throughout the summer, and highly recommend attending if one is in town. The summer Farmer's Market is a Saturday morning must. Traverse City also is a fantastic restaurant town so if you enjoy great restaurants, the Traverse City area has some wonderful restaurants with outstanding food and views.

We have fallen in love with Long Lake and are excited to share our home with you. Our focus is family, friends, and good times. We hope you enjoy it too.

Why they chose this property

We immediately fell in love with this property from the moment we walked in and saw the gorgeous views of Long Lake from the huge wall of windows. Having access to Long Lake just steps from the house and the deck hanging out over the water was so very appealing. The hard, sandy lake bottom is shallow near the house so we can easily swim and enjoy the water. We love to drink our coffee on the deck in the morning and finish the day almost every night with a relaxing fire including s'mores at night. The sound of Loons is so calming and fishing off the dock is a favorite family pastime.

What makes this property unique

128' of Private Lake frontage in a quiet wooded setting. Long Lake allows for all waterspouts and is in close proximity to Traverse City and Interlochen Center for the Performing Arts. Our home is ready for you to create memories of a lifetime.

Other unique benefits you will enjoy when staying at The LAKEHAUS include the full wall of windows allowing for stunning sunrise views of Long Lake from the Kitchen, Living room and Master Bedroom. Our fully stocked kitchen includes all the cookware you will need to create a gourmet meal.
