Fall Break

We have family on Long Lake and this was the perfect location to visit with them. We had enough room for our kids to spread out and the kitchen was well equipped to cook dinner for the entire family.

Fantastic getaway

This was a lovely home for our vacation! The lot felt private and cozy, you can't beat the location, and we loved having two huge sectionals to seat our whole group. Everything was clean and it felt like home. We can't wait to come back!

Nice, big house

The limit of 6 people is the only downfall as the house would definitely fit more. Loved the fact that the master suite in the basement had the jacuzzi tub.

Lovely stay near the lake

This is a very comfortable, clean home with access to Long Lake. We cooked almost every night of our stay in a kitchen that has all the amenities. My son and daughter-in-law and their twin children stayed downstairs which was perfect for them. The host provided toys for the children which they enjoyed playing with. Our communication with the host was excellent. She was extremely helpful. We really enjoyed our stay in beautiful Traverse City.

About the host

Hosted by Audrey Penny

When my wheels turn onto Long Lake Peninsula, I unknowingly exhale and instantly relax. "I am home." I purchased this home at a young age, many many years ago. Memories include bringing my babies home, them riding their trikes down the driveway, many walks to the beach, parties at the park, and good times with friends and neighbors. I continue to lovingly renovate and upgrade this cherished getaway and 'go back home' often. I hope you feel the warmth and love inside these walls the moment you walk through the doorway:)

Why they chose this property

The drive in is slow-paced under a canopy of trees with peeks of the calming lake. Neighbors smile and wave as they walk their dog. Life just seems to slow down on Long Lake Peninsula.

What makes this property unique

All the wood trim and countertops were made by us from trees we cut from Grandma's property. The stones in the shower are from Dad's lake....I spent a year slicing them like bread. Every inch of this house is personal.
