We had an awesome time staying here for a long weekend in November. The view of the lake through the large windows was picturesque with the fall leaves. Lots to do in the area, and even better to come back to a relaxing home when we were done with activities. Definitely would recommend and would stay again!

Thank you, Lakestone Cottage is one of the original cottages and was built in 1936. We’ve modernized it, but tried to keep the historical charm. Long Lake is amazing, and the home to nesting loons. We’re so happy you stayed with us, and you’re welcome back anytime! 🍒

This was the perfect place for a couples getaway. My wife and I came here for our mini-honeymoon. The cottage was gorgeous and clean, and the backyard with the view of the lake was stunningly beautiful. It was the perfect home base to relax at after spending the day in Traverse City. The hosts were also incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. We would absolutely come back for another visit!

We really enjoyed our stay! Communication with the hosts was easy and checkin/out instructions were clear and very reasonable. The cottage was clean, cozy, and stocked with toiletries. We also appreciated the thoughtful basket of dog supplies that made our dog seem welcome. It rained during most of our stay so we sadly didn't get to enjoy any of the outdoor activities, but we did get to watch a beautiful sunrise over the lake from the living room on our last morning. If we're ever back in the area we would absolutely consider staying here again!

WOW!! What a joy to spend our vacation time at the stone cottage!! We were pleasantly surprised to have everything provided as if the owners lived there. Plenty of cookware, laundry and kitchen supplies, comfortable beds with quality linens, super clean and generous furnishings to name a few amenities. The lake is clean and the dock allowed us to keep our boat at the cottage. This listing exceeded our expectations and we plan to come back!! Thank you for making our stay amazing.

Thank you for your kind words! We are so pleased you found our cottage, and that you found our amenities to your liking. The dock has been useful to many boaters this year. It's also a special place guests love to watch sunsets and look at the stars. You are welcome back, anytime!

It’s been several years since we last rented this property and the new owners knock it out of the park! Pet friendly is an understatement - basket of helpful items for your dog during the stay like things to lie down on is appreciated. There is even a basket for the human guests should they forget/need common toiletries. And a well stocked Keurig for morning coffee or tea.Cottage is clean and comfortable with modern bedroom furniture- nightstands with usb and standard outlets are great. Nice patio and grill for you to enjoy. Fire pit is impressive and great view of lake. Owners were great to deal with (no issues, just making sure we didn’t need anything) and helpful. Close to all our hangouts when on Long Lake - Glen Arbor, Fishtown, Sutton Bay, TC, Moomers. My wife, our twin daughters, and our golden retriever had an awesome time. We will be back!

My husband and I stayed 3 nights at Lakeside Cottage to check out the area. From the moment I stepped through the front door, the cottage reminded me of a lake cottage I used to stay in as a kid during our summer trips to Wisconsin. It is so quaint and cozy with amazing views of the lake. The hosts are wonderful, the amenities terrific and I would highly recommend this property if you are touring the area. There are so many things to do within a short drive and lovely to come home to such a cute house after our day's adventure was done.
