Fall colors! 7 miles to TC--4 miles to winery and sunsets!

Welcome to "The Nest at Long Lake," a modern, coastal farmhouse with beautiful country-side views. This home is full of character and has been updated for today’s modern amenities. Come home to 5 bedrooms, a well-stocked kitchen, and spacious living areas. The Nest is the perfect home-away-from-home, with an amazing central location to enjoy everything the area has to offer. Just 3 minutes to the beach or to put your boat in the water at the Long Lake boat launch, 10 min to downtown TC and the TART Trail, and 25 minutes to Sleeping Bear Dunes. Plenty of nearby options for skiing, sledding and show shoeing.

This stylish, coastal farmhouse has been recently renovated and furnished with all new appliances, furniture and amenities. One step leads you to the main entrance of this spacious, open concept two-level home, where you enter into the bright and roomy living room.

Convenient location, fine stay
The house is in a good location for adventures in Glen Arbor and Traverse City. It was great to have so many towels and everything was clean (agree with other reviewer that more hooks would be helpful in the bathroom). Communication was excellent; very responsive.

Family getaway
Stay was comfortable and in a nice area, however the kitchen could be better stocked with things for those that cook and bake more. A small stool could be useful in the upstairs, hallway bathroom as well as towel hooks. Would recommend

Best rental ever!
We were an extended family staying the weekend at this gorgeous rental! The home’s styling was stunning! Every detail was perfect; the hosts thought of everything!
