The property was exactly as advertised and in a great location. It was very clean, comfortable and the kitchen had all of the necessary tools. The hosts couldn’t have been more friendly or responsive.

We had a great stay at this property. The setting was so relaxing that we had a hard time leaving it to go sightseeing around the area. Our only inconvenience was the lack of washer/dryer in the house, but we found a local laundry (Eastfield Laundry) where you can wash your own laundry or have it done for you and ready for pick up in a few hours. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

The location is beautiful.Plenty to do.Very clean, all the basics for cooking and cleaning on site.The main portion of the home is an old camper, its actually pretty neat, although it does make accessing the bedrooms and bathroom feel like you're in a camper. We loved everything about the place, except the beds. Not very comfortable.

Hi Geoffrey, thank you for taking the time to carefully review our property. This is very helpful to us. The home was actually never a camper. It is a former single wide mobile home with a stick built addition added onto it. I’m very sorry to hear you did not find the beds comfortable as they were new last summer, only used for three months last summer and then 3 months this summer. They have not even had an entire year of use. This is a first for us to hear about these new beds being uncomfortable. Thank you, suzy

The house on long lake was a beautiful property right on the water. House has everything you need and the host was very easy to communicate with. Great views and clean very sad leaving the property and going back to reality. I will be back to this house a hidden gem.

This was a great place to stay, inside and out. It was clean and had what we needed. My toddler son loved playing on the sandy beach and in the water with the stand up paddle boards and pedal boat. I would recommend it for a relaxing time away.

Perfect Lakeside cabin. Clean, well furnished and equipped and perfect location. Just feed from Long Lake. Easy to get to and check in was simple. Host lives next-door, which was very nice if I needed anything she was available, but there was nothing needed.

Great “Up North” Vacay

We loved our time here. Our two kids enjoyed the mini beach and lake and kayaking/paddle boarding/etc. Fabulous location where you feel relaxed and away from the world but still close enough to get food and groceries and the comforts we enjoy. We will be back for sure!

Beautiful Family Cottage!

We had the BEST getaway ever! The peaceful and beautiful setting was just what we needed. The location was great, close to almost everything that Traverse City has to offer. The cottage felt like home and had all the amenities and more that I would expect. Can't wait to come back.

Family Vacation

Our famiy vacation went great, so much to do in Traverse City area. Jason and Suzy were great hosts, helped with anything we needed. The house is in a great location and kept very clean. We had a few barbecue cookouts, and had a great time eating, playing and boating!
