About this property
100' of Private Long Lake Frontage w/ Dock, Patio, and Amazing Sunsets!!!
Make vacation memories at this artistically updated brick cottage located on 100' of private Long Lake shoreline with an amazing sunset view over South Island. Guests will appreciate the sandy hard-bottom lakefront which includes a new aluminum dock with a spacious patio area for sitting in the sunshine or throwing out a fishing line. The concrete HOA boat launch is less than 300’ away making launching your boat a quick and easy no-stress task. This charming cottage is fully furnished with many amenities including a dishwasher, Weber gas grill, and fast wifi. Enjoy four bedrooms containing (1) King, (1)Queen, (2)Queens, and (1)Twin Bunk and (2) Bathrooms all on one level. This location is incredibly peaceful with the most amazing sunsets in a friendly-family, low & slow traffic, treed neighborhood.
Downtown Traverse City is a 15 minute drive. The cottage's location is ideal on the east side of Long Lake providing easy access to Traverse City entertainment, Interlochen Center for the Arts, casinos, sand dunes, golfing, skiing, and all that the greater Grand Traverse, Leelanau, and Benzie areas have to offer.
Long Lake is the largest lake in Grand Traverse County sized at 2800+ acres. It is also the 30th largest inland lake in Michigan. Long Lake contains 4 accessible islands-many in view from the cottage. Enjoy the public walking trails and picnic tables that can be found on them. Long Lake is also known for great fishing with depths up to 70 feet. There is a significant drop-off just past the dock for successful fishing if you do not have a boat to bring along.
Standard household appliances include coffee maker, microwave, toaster, cookware, dishware, dishwasher, fridge. The home does come fully furnished including linens, (2) TVs, Wifi, new Weber propane grill, frontload washer and dryer, a/c (not in 2 bedrooms) and heat. Long Lake Peninsula also has a private park (baseball diamond, basketball, playground equipment), & association beach and boat ramp that guests are welcome to enjoy.
Please NOTE: Pets are not welcome. Please keep all smoking outside and cigarette butts removed properly. Daily maid service is not available. The yard is natural and uneven. Pathways could be difficult to navigate by toddlers, the elderly, or guests with mobility concerns. Although the cottage is one-level living, there are apps 3 concrete steps to the entrance. There is a garage on site for Owner storage. Garage access is not included in the rental fees.
Peak Summer reservations have a 5-night minimum that must occur between a Monday-to-Monday turnover due to Housekeeping arrangements. A weekly discount is provided for a 7-night stay.

Why they chose this property
The moment my wheels turn onto Outer Drive, I feel "home." I first moved to a non-lakeside home on Long Lake Peninsula in 1996. I walked by this cottage for decades. When I discovered it was for sale in 2015, I knew I had to jump at the opportunity. The original owners built it with their own hands over decades of ownership and I wanted to maintain their creative voices. I have updated it with a loving heart in the anticipation of retiring here someday. In the meantime, this is where I come to decompress, visit family, and spend my evenings admiring the sunset and loons. I hope you find this home peaceful, uplifting and inspiring.
What makes this property unique
This cottage is used personally. Comfort is key:). I take pride in ensuring beds are comfy, recliners are available for those with aches & pains and kitchen items are of high quality. I am also an artist. Many Items on the walls are made by me and I've also displayed a few items of my late mother's duck decor:). I truly hope you will enjoy my personal touch and style and feel like a welcomed guest:)
