About this property
Long Lake Waterfront Cottage
Loon Lodge is a beautiful cottage on Long Lake. It is very private, located at the end of a winding road in the woods, but just fifteen minutes from the bustle of Traverse City. It is perfect for families and couples looking to get away and relax.
The is cottage is directly on Long Lake, one of Northern Michigan's most popular lakes for fishing, swimming and boating. The house has a private dock and a large private deck looking over the water.
Loon Lodge is very secluded; the nearest neighbor is more than one hundred yards away, hidden by the trees. The property has more than 200 feet on the water. Most rental properties are bunched together. Loon Lodge is completely different - it is a private, secluded house in the woods.
The house features two bedrooms and two bathrooms. There are two queen beds and two single beds. The living room is large and spacious, with a cathedral ceiling. The eat-in kitchen is fully equipped. The house has hardwood floors throughout. Outside there is a fire pit and new Weber gas grill.
There is a canoe for your use, along with paddles and life jackets. You can also bring a boat; we provide a mooring and there is a public boat launch across the lake. There are public tennis courts within walking distance. There are also islands in the lake that you can explore, several with lovely beaches.
The area has much to offer, especially in the summer. The house is fifteen minutes from Traverse City, a lively and pretty town with shopping and festivals. Interlochen Music Camp, the Sleeping Bear Dunes, the Platte River, and Michigan's finest wine country are all close by.
We welcome well-behaved pets.
Please note that bookings run Saturday to Saturday in the summer.

About the host
Hosted by Tim Calkins
My grandparents purchased this land on Long Lake almost 100 years ago, and the property is still owned by the family. We also own the nearby woods, so we are able to protect the area. It is a unique and special retreat.
We rent the property a few weeks each year to help cover the tax bills!

Why they chose this property
My grandmother's family lived in Chicago and would take the train up to Traverse City. They loved the quiet of Long Lake. We do, too.
What makes this property unique
Our home has three very special features.
First, it is right on Long Lake, a spectacular northern Michigan lake. The water is clear and the sunsets are beautiful. Loons nest on the lake, and you can often hear their haunting calls. The lake is great for swimming and boating.
Second, the house is very private. It is situated in the deep woods on a huge lot with lots of lakefront.
Third, the house is near Traverse City, so while it feels like you are really away from it all in the deep Michigan woods, you can get to a store quickly if you run out of flour or want to go to a movie on a rainy day.
