About the host
Hosted by Timothy Long

We are excited to be hosting you at our family northern Michigan home and we hope you enjoy the property as much as we do! We love to travel but for us this area is our happy place, it has so many things we just love!
We have a young family so you will find the home well-appointed and prepared for little ones. Tim is a native Michigander who grew up spending summers up north. We love the outdoors and often spend time camping, hiking, canoeing, fishing or just chillin' on the beach. Samantha loves to relax and get away; the seclusion of the property, the beaches, and wineries nearby are her favorite.
We particularly love growing and picking fruit, as you will see there is a mini orchard on the property, but also the area is filled with fruit picking opportunities all summer, from strawberries in June to cherries & blueberries in July to and apples in the fall.

Why they chose this property
If you are unfamiliar with Traverse City area, there are opportunities everywhere for the outdoor enthusiast and if you love wine, you will also love the area, with many wineries within a 5 to 30-minute drive.
We like the size of the home and for us it is perfect to have another family up or our parents to enjoy it with us as there is plenty of space for all to not feel crammed. and we think you will enjoy this as well.
The home is in a super nice west side location, close enough to town to take an uber or drive the 10 minutes, but also fairly close to sleeping bears dunes or fish town and not too far from crystal lake or Interlocken.
One of our favorite actives is the summer farmers market in Traverse City, we always buy the natural honey, it is amazing if you like that kind of thing, and the fruit is amazing with lots of varieties and very fresh!
The food scene in Traverse city for us is perfect, we suggest Little Fleet, Hop Lot Brewing, Jacobs Farm and Farm Club for kids, Boathouse is nice for adult night out. Filling Station is also perfect for kids with train tacks right on site. You can not forget our favorite Moomers- our all-time favorite ice cream spot overlooking the cows!

What makes this property unique
It has to be the 9 acres, all wooded with some trails to explore, it is hilly as well which is cool for kids to explore.
Also as mentioned the home orchard is pretty cool!
Basement game room will be a hit with the kids!
