About this property

This is a beautiful three-bedroom house directly on Long Lake, one of Michigan's best lakes for fishing and boating.

Enjoy a private dock and swim in the crystal clear lake water. Use the mooring for your boat - there is a public launch just across the lake. There is a canoe for you to use. Long Lake has five islands that you can paddle to and explore. You can watch sun sets from the dock.

The house has three bedrooms (sleeps 6) and a common room with an open floor plan. There is an office and a deck that looks over the lake. The house has excellent wi-fi and a smart TV.

Summer Lark is a quiet house set back in the woods, but just 15 minutes from downtown Traverse City and all its activities. You can walk through the woods to the Timbers Recreation Area and enjoy lovely hikes. It is just a short drive to Interlochen, Leland and Sleeping Bear Dunes.

Great, What you would expect.

Great cabin in the woods by the lake. Close to town if you want to go. Close to Lake Michigan and dunes if you want to go. Well stocked. Easy to get to.

Overall excellent property

Summer Lark was a wonderful rental property. Tim was very good about communicating property specifics and the entire family had a memorable vacation (including the 2 fur babies). Great view of lake from the house, excellent dock located on the quiet north end of Long Lake. The house was located conveniently to all the Traverse City attractions. Would highly recommend this property - thanks Tim!!!

Can’t wait to return!

Loved it all! The property and location were exactly as described. The welcome note and bottle of local wine left for us was such a nice touch.We loved exploring the area & visiting different wineries. Our Maltese was welcome just about everywhere. We will be back.

Wonderful stay

Great home nestled in the woods on beautiful Long Lake. Our group of four adults and two kids had a great week here. Summer Lark is very well-maintained, well-stocked, and has plenty of room to spread out. We enjoyed dinners on the deck, playing in the water, and cruising around the lake. Great location for other activities too. Owner Tim is spot on with communication-always prompt in responding to questions.

Our family has owned this property for almost 100 years. We rent on occasion to help offset the tax bills. We also rent Loon Lodge - that property is nearby.

I live in Chicago and spend as much time in Traverse City as I can.
