Great family time

Matt and Jodie were responsive to our questions and needs. The home and property were great for our purpose and age range (10-68). We enjoyed the pontoon and yard games and the open floor plan allowed us all to watch the Olympics as well as family time. We will definitely book again!

Wonderful Stay!!

We just returned from a wonderful long weekend at this beautiful property! Check in and out was flawless and communication with the hosts was easy with timely responses. The property itself has everything you need and then some. From a well appointed kitchen to gorgeous renovations throughout, it was impressive and extremely comfortable! The lake itself was clear, and great for kayaking, rides on the nice pontoon and fishing. We are ready to go back and looking forward to next year!

Perfect!

The home was beautiful and spacious! Beautiful view of the lake inside the home and from the deck. Everyone enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board. Not one complaint from our kids about being board. We had one night/day of gloomy weather but having wifi and tv’s to stream on made the yucky weather day no issue. With only a 6 minute drive to DL this is perfect! Hoping to return next year for our family vacation! Matt and Jodi are great! Even brought us the ingredients for s’mores. I definitely recommend this property!

We had a great experience

We rented the cabin for a Thursday check-in. On Wednesday, Matt reached out to let us know that the property was ready & wanted to know if we wanted to get in a day early. Since two of our family arrived on Wednesday, this turned out be a very welcome surprise. Matt provided us with kayaks & a pontoon rental. We mentioned paddle boarding, so the next day he showed up with one in tow for our use. We enjoyed our time at this rental & had a great experience. Matt was a very gracious host and treated us like family. While the cabin may benefit from a few updates, if you are looking for a great location with a lake access & water toys, as well as a great host, we would recommend this location.

Thanks Mark! We hope to see you and your family again in the future. Some of our favorite guests for sure! We will be making several updates this winter during the slow season and look forward to taking the cabin to another level.

Home Away From Home

This home is in such an excellent location where the water is so beautiful - some fishing, some swimming, some kayaking, some pontooning, some playing and sometimes, just enjoying from their big picture window. Thank you to Matt and family for providing the essential tools to enjoy the home, the water, the quick vacation. The home is squeaky clean and they provide you with everything from dreamy king and queen beds and comfy sheets to kitchen and grilling tools and dining needs… and then some. As for fun and toys, they have all those, too - kayaks, paddleboard, lounging areas in the deck and by the fire pit. What really got to us is the excellent communication and the utmost care given by Matt to really make sure we enjoy our stay there, even when we had thunder clouds looming. Thank you again and we hope to be back soon! You were all so excellent and amazing!

Fantastic Host and Property

What a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. We booked before they did a huge remodel and all of the updates are VERY nice! The house was super clean, extremely roomy and very welcoming. It had everything we needed to enjoy the week, including outdoor fun (corn toss, fire-pit, kayaks, paddle board and even e-bikes that we rented for a day (super fun!!). Matt and Jodi were AMAZING hosts. I started communicating with Matt well in advance of our trip. He was quick to answer any questions I had. He went above and beyond when I asked about a griddle for the kitchen and even thought they didn't have one, he ordered one and had it there when we arrived. We decided last minute to use the e-bikes and he was gracious to come over and give us a quick tutorial and air up the tires. This was definitely a great trip and experience for our family. We loved the location and especially appreciated being outside of town yet just a short drive to Detroit Lakes. We would highly recommend this location and rental!

About the host

Hosted by Matt and Jodie Johnson

Host profile image
Our family has always loved lake life and the memories that come with it—morning coffee overlooking the water, afternoons spent swimming and boating, and evenings gathered around the fire pit watching the sunset.

We created Luxe on Long Lake to be the kind of place where families and friends can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy everything that makes Minnesota lakes so special. Every improvement, amenity, and detail has been thoughtfully chosen with our guests in mind, from the private barrel sauna and swim raft to the fully stocked kitchen and comfortable gathering spaces.

As local owners, we take great pride in providing a clean, comfortable, and memorable experience. We live nearby, know the Detroit Lakes area well, and are happy to share recommendations or assist whenever needed.

Nothing makes us happier than hearing that guests created lasting memories during their stay. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a family vacation, or simply looking for a peaceful getaway, we hope Luxe on Long Lake becomes a place you'll want to return to year after year.

Why they chose this property

We chose Long Lake because we truly believe it's one of the hidden gems of the Detroit Lakes area. In fact, we love it so much that we live on the same lake ourselves.
Long Lake offers the perfect balance of relaxation and recreation.

The water is ideal for swimming, kayaking, fishing, and boating, while the peaceful setting provides a quiet escape from the pace of everyday life. We enjoy the beautiful sunsets, abundant wildlife, and sense of community that make this area so special.

One of our favorite things about Long Lake is that it feels private and peaceful while still being just minutes from Detroit Lakes. Guests can enjoy waterfront living, great restaurants, shopping, golf courses, parks, trails, seasonal events, and the area's famous trolls—all without sacrificing the tranquility of lake life.

We are proud to call Long Lake home and are excited to share this special place with our guests.

What makes this property unique

What makes Luxe on Long Lake unique is the combination of waterfront recreation, thoughtful amenities, and resort-style relaxation all in one property.

Guests can spend the day swimming from the sandy-bottom shoreline, kayaking across the lake, fishing from the dock, or relaxing on the swim raft before unwinding in the private barrel sauna.

As the sun sets, the lakeside fire pit becomes the perfect gathering place for sharing stories and making memories with family and friends.

With 5 comfortable bedrooms, spacious indoor and outdoor gathering areas, a fully stocked kitchen, and beautiful lake views, Luxe on Long Lake is designed to bring people together while still offering plenty of room to relax and recharge.

As local owners who live on the same lake, we've thoughtfully equipped the home with the amenities and comforts we would want for our own family. Our goal is to provide more than just a place to stay. We strive to create an exceptional lake experience that guests will remember long after their vacation ends.
