About the host

Host profile image
This is our family-owned home, cherished not only as a rental but also as a place where our own family gathers. We are two working professionals with three little ones (growing faster than we can keep up!).

Finding this property was a long journey—we were very particular about the kind of place we wanted for our family. When we discovered it, we instantly fell in love. It felt like the perfect long-term estate: a peaceful retreat for both us and our guests, nestled in a wonderful neighborhood.

We’ve poured our hearts into every detail to make this house a true gem, and we’re always looking for ways to make it even better (we really do love the little details!). The spacious, open layout makes it ideal for families to come together, celebrate, and create lasting memories.

This home is a keeper for us—and we think it will be a must-visit for you too. Come see for yourself!

Why they chose this property

Why would you want to rent our place out of the ample variety of other places? This is a spacious ranch house with 1+ acre land that can welcome 8+ guests overnight. It is tastefully decorated with much attention to details inside and out. It is nestled between the two sandy beaches of Long Lake with the boat launch on one of them. The location is so amazing that it is practically close to anything. These are just some examples: Walk or short drive to the beach, 8min to Rove vineyard, 15 min to downtown, 8 min to the major retailers, 5 min to Moomers and Jacob's, 2 min to tennis courts and kids playgrounds (but we also have a playground in our yard), fishing, Crystal Mountain 30min, Sleeping Bear Dunes 30min, Boyne Mountain 1hr. As this is a family owned place, you can expect the warmth as you walk in, you can expect direct communication with the owner, you can expect your family memories made here - this is not a managed cookie cutter, this is a FAMILY loved estate!

What makes this property unique

Our authenticity comes in the following aspects - highly sought for ranch floor plan house, arcades' collection galore in the large walk-out basement, large deck access from the first floor and a back porch access from the walk out basement (both with the ample of seating area, chairs, two tanning outdoor reckiners, gas firepit on the second floor and wood firepit in the yard, long driveway, 1+ acre corner lot, beach nearby, ski resorts, fishing, farms, wineries.
