Photo gallery for 5BR luxe home with hot tub 7 MI to downtown TC

Enjoy the new hot tub nested next to a row of evergreen trees next to the firepit with wide open skies to watch the sunset and the night sky.
This was the first snow at the Nest at Long Lake in December 2024. I call this property the snow belt since it gets so much snow compared to other homes!
Come join us at the Nest! Gather around this cozy and inviting living space, where you can relax with your loved ones. Watch a movie or play your favorite games to fill up an entire afternoon of fun - there even is a sleeper sofa for added space.
Unwind in the living room and take a peek into the kitchen to see dinner being crafted by the experts. Get cozy with a coffee or Sudoku around the coffee table - complete with stools for extra seating, game night fun, or just somewhere to kick back.
Just one mile from the Long Lake boat launch and Gilbert Park, you will enjoy spending a day on one of the top lakes in Northern Michigan to create your own all summer long experience!
