We chose this place as it was 5 mins. from our son's house. He was married in TC and it was nearby to all of the festivities for that. Loved the enclosed porch. We spent all of our time out there.

Lake access was amazing!

My friends and I stayed here while playing in a soccer tournament. The location was great -- super easy to get to downtown Traverse City while being close to the Keystone Soccer complex. The lake access is great. The stairs to get down to the lake are a bit steep, but once down the views are beautiful and the lake water was the perfect temperature. There are also some chairs by the dock to sit on if you don't want to go in!The beds were all comfortable and there was plenty of space for everyone. The house had most basic necessities provided both by the host and nonperishables that were left behind by other visitors. The AC worked great and there were fans in most of the rooms in case you needed them.Overall we loved our stay! We'd absolutely stay here again.

Long Lake Cottage

We had a great visit to Long Lake. The cottage had great lake frontage with a dock and we loved the sunroom off the back of the house. The space worked well for 3 adults and 5 kids. The house is definitely dated and does have a bit of a musty smell especially downstairs, but it worked well for us and gave us the good location and beautiful sunsets.

The cabin was very spacious. Could use some updating-new paint, new bed frames(ones that don’t squeak when you move), new lockbox on the door. The four seasons porch was AMAZING! It had a great breeze and a great way to spend time unwinding. It was very kind that the company reached out to see how our stay was on our first full day. We had a light go out toward the end of business day that first day, called and they sent someone the next day. The technician didn’t have the right lightbulb and needed to get the right one, never came back to replace the bulb during our stay.

House on Long Lake

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We did have a great time. Location was awesome. A couple problems with the house. There is a bat in one of the bedrooms in the basement. It was a little scary for my daughter and son-in-law because their baby was in the room with them while they were trying to kill this bat. Also, the downstairs level smelled a little musty and moldy, and the refrigerator was leaking quite bad over the kitchen floor.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 August 2025
We are pleased to know that you and your family had a great time at this lakeside home. Thank you, we did speak to you regarding the other issues. Our flying guest has been relocated. The refrigerator has been serviced and lower level has a dehumidifier. There is not a mold issue.

Weekend soccer tournament

We stayed in Traverse City for a soccer tournament. This house was great for what we needed. Plenty of rooms/beds, comfortable, great view! Kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook just be aware there is nothing extra such as salt/pepper, only one paper towel roll, one roll of toilet paper, one garbage bag. So you will need to bring extras for your stay. But that wasn’t a big deal for us. Overall we would stay here again

Lamps broken, bathroom towel bars and hooks broken, dish washer falling apart, cigarette butts all over outside. The location made up for it and we cleaned up the first day and fixed the dishwasher and moved on. Still worth the money.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon arrival, we felt very relaxed and at home. Everything was provided for cooking, cleaning and all linens were provided as well. The owner was very helpful and even showed up one day to help us find the oars for the rowboat. The location was perfect and the weather worked out so that we could go out on the dock every night. We were able to eat outside using the provided grill and had a campfire almost every night. It was truly a bargain deal for the price and we would highly recommend this location to anyone. We will be looking to return in the future.
