SANDY FRONTAGE! Kayaks! POOL TABLE! Next to Sleeping Bear!
-And, as always, we never charge Host, Cleaning, Pet (up to two dogs), or Extra Guest fees! If staying during the winter, you need a 4 wheel drive or at least a front wheel drive vehicle to access the home.
This 'Cottage Style' home features: maple flooring, milled beam accents, ceramic tile, cottage decor and a cozy fireplace. It is also set up for family fun with separate areas for adults and little ones alike.
The Landing is situated atop a natural slope with *views of Long Lake, beautiful towering trees and wildlife and features 160' of very private, sandy bottom frontage on peaceful all-sports Long Lake in Benzie county. Built in 2004, this home is located right in the center of one of Northern Michigan's most desired vacation destinations. 'The Landing' is directly across the street from Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore property, with hiking to Lake Michigan less than a mile down the road and is only minutes from such areas as Empire, Glen Arbor, Crystal Lake and Frankfort.
Also, just 3-4 minutes walk** down the hill, and thru the boardwalk trail, await your own private island... OK it's not a private island, but it is a 160' of very private sandy beach frontage. There is a row boat, 2 kayaks, life jackets in various shapes & sizes, full dock w/moorings for extra boats, fire pit w/chairs, rope hammock, 2 chaise lounges, and as an extra bonus we include the use a
When these amenities are available: Kayaks (May 1st til Nov 1st), pedal boat (April 1st til Nov 15th), Docks (Mid-May til Nov 1st).
*To some extent seasonal, as during the summer when the trees are full, you can't see the lake as well, but there still are some breaks.
**3-4 minutes for healthy adults and children, for those with health issues it could take a little longer. Home also sits on a small hill so the walk back up could be a concern for those with health issues.
- Winter guests must bring an all-wheel-drive vehicle or at the very least a front wheel drive with good snow tires.
**** Be sure to check out "Additional Information" - "Things to Bring" so that you'll have everything you need to enjoy your stay! There is only room for 4 cars in the driveway and you can't park in the street. Please plan for this.
---- Also we provide a starter supply of paper/soap products which should be enough for typical 3 night stay, for a smaller group of 2 people. For a complete list of "what is provided" and "things to bring", check out "Using the property”, on your “My Trip” page.

About the host

I am Lizzie. My Dad built this home and he and my husband take care of maintenance. My mom does all the computer work. We are a very small, family business. <3
Why they chose this property
This home is right on sandy Long Lake and just across the road from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Everyone has a little acreage here so it's all very natural looking.
What makes this property unique
This is a dedicated vacation rental which means we don't have drawers, closets and cupboards full of personal items. Also, the home was built to allow kids to enjoy their space while adults can enjoy theirs.
