Cozy lakefront cottage

Welcome to Long Lake, a 211-acre all-sports lake located 6 miles west of downtown Three Rivers, 5 miles from Swiss Valley Ski Resort, 35 miles from Kalamazoo, and less than 40 miles from Notre Dame. Enjoy watching the sunset over the lake, exploring the local shops and restaurants in town, walking, biking, or driving to see the fall colors, catching a college football game at ND or WMU, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and skiing/snowboarding to name a few possibilities. The space This property is for single family (by blood, marriage, adoption, etc.) use only. This ~1,400sf 1950s summer cottage is sized to accommodate medium-sized family, friends, or work gatherings and has been recently renovated into a year-round paradise. The first floor features an open floor layout for the kitchen/dining/living areas with floor-to-ceiling sliders providing spectacular lake views. There are two bedrooms on the main floor, one with a workstation, plus an updated full bathroom with a roomy walk-in shower. On the second floor, you will find two bedrooms, a dedicated office space with two workstations, and a half bath. Planning for a workcation? We’ve got you covered with high-speed wifi and three workstations to choose from. The cottage sits on a double lot with 100’ of shallow sandy beach lakefront complete with a pier and lakeside fire pit. The tree canopy in the side yard provides a shady area to sit and enjoy a meal cooked on the charcoal grill and served on the extra large picnic tables. Enjoy the evenings watching the sunset (cottage faces west) and stargazing on a clear night!

Please adhere to the posted 15 MPH speed limit at all times. - This is a quiet, peaceful, and relaxing lake. We have year-round neighbors and ask that you be respectful and keep the noise level down even outside of quiet hours… sounds and voices travel easily. - Quiet hours are from 10:30PM to 7:00AM (local township ordinance). - No parties allowed. - No pets allowed. - We are on a private well treated with a water softener. Be sure to bring plenty of bottled drinking water. - We are on a septic tank = ONLY toilet paper is to be flushed down the toilet. If we have to call a service to pump the septic tank, there will be an extra fee charged. - There are times when storms roll through and we lose power which is out of our control. - Our cottage is located on a partially wooded lakefront lot, which can attract bugs. While we treat for bugs, we can’t guarantee a bug-free stay. - Prior to approving a booking request, you will be asked to read and agree to our short-term rental agreement, including local ordinance and house rules.
