About this cottage rental
Lakefront Cottage on Long Lake – Private Sandy Beach & Dock, Covered Patio
Welcome to our newly remodeled lakefront cottage—your perfect Up North getaway! Nestled at the end of a private cul-de-sac, just 15 feet from the water’s edge, this charming retreat offers 100 feet of private sandy frontage on Long Lake. Whether you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, or a romantic escape, our cottage has everything you need to create lasting memories.
Endless Outdoor Fun & Relaxation
Spend your days swimming, sunbathing, or exploring the lake with our paddleboat, canoe, kayak, and paddleboard. Our private dock is perfect for fishing, jumping off of, housing your private boat, or renting a pontoon for a sunset cruise. After a day on the water, unwind with a bottle of your favorite local wine on the boat, toasting to breathtaking lake views.
As the sun sets, listen to the soothing call of the loons echoing across the water—a true Northern Michigan experience. Gather around the fire pit for s’mores or relax on the covered patio, complete with a comfortable couch and picnic table—perfect for lakeside dining, morning coffee, or stargazing. Fire up the Weber gas grill for a lakeside cookout, and enjoy cornhole and lawn games for some friendly competition.
Comfort & Convenience
Our cottage was remodeled in 2016 and again in 2024, featuring a newly remodeled kitchen and bathroom. In 2025, we updated the beds and bedding for ultimate comfort. Inside, you’ll find a warm and inviting space designed for relaxation after a day on the lake.

• Outdoor Adventures: Sleeping Bear Dunes, Pyramid Point, Old Baldy Trail, and The TART biking trail
• Golf & Sports: Play world-class golf at The Bear at Grand Traverse Resort (designed by Jack Nicklaus), Arcadia Bluffs (links-style, Lake Michigan views), and the exclusive Crystal Downs Country Club (ranked among the top courses in the U.S.)
• Arts & Culture: Interlochen Center for the Arts, Old Town Playhouse
• Food & Drink: Wineries, breweries, and Moomers Ice Cream—voted the best in America!

Just down the street, a private neighborhood park offers baseball, volleyball, disc golf, and a play structure for the little ones. Safe biking is available throughout our quiet peninsula.
Whether you’re planning a family lake getaway, a romantic retreat, or an autumn adventure, relaxation, exploration, and unforgettable memories await. Our cottage is fully licensed with a Short-Term Rental Certificate #STR22-00061.

This was a great place to stay, inside and out. It was clean and had what we needed. My toddler son loved playing on the sandy beach and in the water with the stand up paddle boards and pedal boat. I would recommend it for a relaxing time away.

Perfect Lakeside cabin. Clean, well furnished and equipped and perfect location. Just feed from Long Lake. Easy to get to and check in was simple. Host lives next-door, which was very nice if I needed anything she was available, but there was nothing needed.

What a beautiful spot! Very clean and quiet!! We had a little rain so the patio was a great place to hangout. My family enjoyed their time and asked to come back next year! Owner was very friendly! Five stars for sure !!

Overall the property and our experience was fine. The house being directly on the lake and having access to the paddle boards, kayaks, and a fire pit was awesome! I do feel it was overpriced given the condition of the home and lack of amenities. In the description of the home, laundry was listed as included, but upon arrival we realized there was no washer and dryer. We have two kids and packed planning on doing laundry while there, so this was a big inconvenience. There were only four bath towels provided in the home, and again without access to laundry this was not ideal. Additionally, the notes for the rental told us to bring our own sheets, so that was something we packed, but the beds were already made with sheets, so that was an item we wish we would have known we could leave behind. We bought groceries to use the grill at the home but the grill did not work great and took a significant amount of time to heat up given the burners were not fully working. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated Suzy's prompt communication and thoughtful s'mores welcome package, but would have appreciated a more accurate description of the property.
