Great Stay on Long Lake!!!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this property. It was spacious, clean and well-stocked. The backyard/patio/dock area made for the perfect summer hangout spot and the close proximity to Traverse City made it easy to go into town for shopping/dining etc. We loved it!

Great stay on Long Lake

The property was well kept and accommodated! We loved the peninsula location on the lake - shallow entry, dock, firewood supplied, towels, 2 paddle boards, a floating chair, etc. we highly recommended it! The location to Traverse City, golf and the dunes was perfect.

perfect little place for a short weekend

We reserved this property to stay at while we were in town for a soccer tournament. The location was perfect, the facilities and House were well kept and clean. Communication communications with the property manager were excellent. We definitely will be looking at booking again next year.

We stayed here for 5days and everything was great! The location and views were exceptional! They had paddle boards and a lot of swim toys for us to use and had firewood delivered to the house so we could enjoy a nice fire at night. Ryan was great to deal with and responded quickly to all of our questions. This is a perfect location for a family of 4 to enjoy the beautiful lake and still close enough to Traverse City. Would definitely stay here again!!

We loved our stay. Easy to get around to area sites. Quiet neighborhood. We were thrilled to discover that one of the bathrooms had a walk in shower! For those with limited mobility, use the front door. Easier steps than the garage. The primary bedroom has a memory foam topper. Pillows are wonderful. The house was spotless. A big very deep couch and chair. The house has just about everything you will need. Ryan was super responsive, a great host. We would happily stay there again!

Great vacation spot in northern Michigan

Great experience! The location on long lake was convenient to many activities…traverse city, wine tours, glen arbor, the dunes, etc. we had a great time day tripping and also enjoying the home and lake. Took advantage of the fire place and grill. The neighbors were friendly and helped us out when our canoe blew across the lake in a storm. Ryan was helpful with that as well. Overall the house was well equipped with everything we needed. There are paddle boards and other items for outside in the garage as well.

This home is as pictured. Lovely lake at our backdoor, fully furnished, smooth linens, soft towels, very comfortable master bed (didn't use the second bedroom). Kitchen supplies were more than adequate. We had a wonderful time. There was a small plumbing issue in one bathroom but the manager responded quickly and the issue was resolved without issue. We sailed on West Bay, ate well at the abundance of restaurants and my husband played the bagpipes on the deck. We wanted to stay a few more days! Maybe next year.

We just stayed in the lake house for 18 days. It is a wonderful location right on Long Lake. The house was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was very nice with nice pots & pans, knives, and utensils. Had a nice coffee maker and tea kettle. This property is on well water which is not unusual for this area. However the smell was pretty bad for showering. We did not use the water for drinking or making tea & coffee. (We went through a lot of bottled water) The outside of the property could use some TLC, with weeding and trimming. Ryan was an excellent host and answered any questions we had in a very timely manner.

Thank you so much for the review and for staying with us! I’m happy to report that right after your departure, we had a brand-new water softening system installed, so that well water issue is completely resolved. I'm sorry the timing fell right at the end of the previous system's lifespan! We've also had our team out to take care of the weeding and landscaping trim you mentioned to ensure everything looks sharp. You were wonderful guests, and we would love to host you again in the future!
