Start each day with infinite lake views when you book this impressive multi-level home located on the shores of the highly sought-after Long Lake in Traverse City! Discover the charms of this sought-after recreational lake from a new perspective by embarking on a kayak or rowboat adventure from your private dock equipped with a boat lift. Whether you are swimming, water skiing, or casting a line for fishing, there's endless fun on the water. Additionally, you can explore three public parks along the lake's shores: Taylor Park, Gilbert Park, and Crescent Shores Park & Boat Launch. Delight your guests with unforgettable barbecues using the gas grill provided, and savor your meals outdoors at the picnic table. Alternatively, gather by the lakeside firepit for storytelling sessions while roasting s'mores as the sun sets.

The interior features well-maintained furniture that exudes a timeless charm, showcasing its longevity and enduring quality. You will be wowed by the impressive views of Long Lake through the pictured windows and the telescope available allows you to take a closer look. Spend memorable evenings streaming entertaining shows on the large smart TV with streaming services, reading a favorite book from the home's book collection, or challenging your friends to exciting board games. When mealtime comes around, surprise your guests with their favorite recipes - the full kitchen has been appointed with modern, stainless steel appliances that will make cooking a breeze. The home is also equipped with a beautiful wet bar with a full-size fridge and all the essentials to show off your bartender skills. Additional perks include a washer/dryer, two beach chairs, and TVs in most bedrooms.

This beachfront delight enjoys a wonderful location two miles from Long Lake Grocery for limited provisions and take-out pizza, five miles from Moomers Ice Cream (a local's favorite), and 13 miles from Traverse City, which offers a plethora of activities and places for visitors to enjoy, including its boutiques, galleries, cafes, and restaurants. Take a stroll along Front Street or visit the historic State Theatre. Depending on the time of year, you might catch the National Cherry Festival, held annually in Traverse City.

    The house was perfect for a friends’ weekend. It comfortably slept everyone as advertised, and the home had tons of character. The views out the back were beautiful. We would absolutely stay here again. By the way there is a sauna in the basement that is not list so that was a plus.

    It’s private, the house is great for the entire family. We’ve been coming for years and as the family continues to grow it fits us well. Great for little ones with the peninsula and shallow waters. We absolutely love this vacation house. Our family, kids, spouses and grandchildren will always remember the amazing memories we have made.

    David N2025-08-12

    See above. We will be back next year God willing.

    Greg S2025-06-24

    This is a great option for a unique rental on Long Lake. The house is large enough to accommodate 2 families with plenty to do both inside and outside. The house itself has a few minor quirks but it's easily outweighed by the location (private peninsula on a beautiful lake) and unique features: the house has lots of fun rooms, panoramic views and is stocked with books, games and movies.

    Jess D2025-04-28

    Booked a trip with a group of friends and we all loved staying in this home!

    Matthew S2025-03-14
