Lakefront Tranquility

Our lake house is a tranquil space on Long Lake, a 2,860-acre all-sports lake less than ten minutes from Traverse City. We invite you to enjoy our 3,300 square foot home just steps from the 84 feet of private lake frontage. The shallow, sandy-bottom area in the lake surrounding the dock is perfect for kids to splash and play. Relax and enjoy the spectacular sunsets at the seating area at the end of the 80-foot dock, from either the upper or lower deck, or from the patio/fire pit area. The space As you walk in the front door, you are met by gorgeous views of Long Lake out the back of the house through the expansive windows in the main floor living room. This level is open concept with a kitchen, dining, and living room all with magnificent views. The kitchen has cookware, a coffee maker (Keurig K-Duo), a crock pot, and everything you need to cook for your crew. The living room has a smart TV, two couches, and built-in bookcases around a cozy stone gas fireplace. The dining table seats 8-10 with three counter-height chairs at the kitchen peninsula. Sliding glass doors lead to a large deck featuring dining, and casual seating, and a propane grill. Also on the main floor is a large kitchen pantry and laundry room. Past the laundry room, you enter a garage that has been transformed into a rec room complete with ping-pong, foosball, air hockey, and other games. A second fridge and casual seating complete this entertainment space. The private main floor primary bedroom has a king bed and a newly renovated spacious en suite bathroom with a spa shower and double sinks. The bedroom has a sliding door to the large deck, with spectacular views of the lake. The other main floor bedroom is a bunkroom, with two twin-over-full bunk beds. There is a newly renovated full bath in the hallway just outside the bunkroom that has a tub/shower. Upstairs there are three bedrooms; two with queen beds and one with a king. Two of the bedrooms have a beautiful view of the lake and closets. The newly renovated bathroom in the hall has a shower and double sinks. Downstairs in the walk-out basement is a second living room with a sectional couch with a pull-out queen-size bed. There is another smart television with internet connection and a game table. The newly remodeled downstairs bathroom has a large tiled shower. Walk out through the basement slider to a large partly shaded deck steps from the dock. There is also a new flagstone patio with a fire pit, perfect for gathering in the evenings for sunsets, stories, and s’mores.

Other things to note From June through early September, we have set up the calendar for Friday-to-Friday rentals. This allows us to adequately schedule cleaning, lawn care, maintenance, and so forth. We understand that this schedule may not mesh with everyone’s travel plans, and we’re very sorry. We wish we could accommodate everyone. At other times during the year, we can accommodate shorter stays.
