Loved this gem!
We would definitely stay here again. Very cozy tucked in the woods with the most beautiful views. It was snowing a lot and we loved looking out the big glass windows and walking on the lake. The heated floors felt nice underfoot and the beds were super comfy. Location was great! Quick easy drive to Crystal for skiing and yummy dinners down the road at boones and Hofbrau. Only thing to note is there are many levels. My dad had a cane and got around fine but each space is a few steps up or down Only note I’d make is

First trip to Traverse City
Overall the VRBO was very nice. Lots of stairs which might pose a problem for some. I also think upgrading a couple of the kitchen appliances, coffee maker and toaster, are in order. Also suggest you upgrade the quality of toilet paper and provide a minimum amount of tissue paper. Beautiful location and great outside seating and access to lake.

Beautiful Lake Front Property
This lake was gorgeous with clear water and stunning sunsets. The house was nice and close to Front Street and much more. There are a lot of stairs so keep that in mind with younger children. We would stay here again!

Family vacation
Location was perfect. Long lake is one of the cleanest lakes. The sandy area off the pier was perfect for kids& adults to swim & relax The house is unique modern/ Contemporary Different levels, spiral staircase but functional There are many stairs both inside & outside but railings make the walk down to the lake safe Outdoor Patio& deck are perfect to enjoy the beautiful views of the lake. Home does need a little paint on the outside. Definitely would recommend just for the uniqueness of the property

Beautiful place
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the house. We loved the views and going out on the pier. We rented a boat and it was delivered to us on the water. We had fast response from the staff at Up North Vacation Rentals. My only negative opinion of our rental is the master bedroom mattress was extremely uncomfortable. The mattress sunk in the middle and the sheets did not fit.

Unique Long Lake home
We really enjoyed our stay in this unique home. The location was excellent near Traverse City and Leelenau Peninsula attractions. This home was spotless and stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. Just one caution....there are stairs everywhere. The deck outside is multilevel, as is the home itself. There are stairs from the living room to the kitchen and then more to the main floor master suite. Then there is a spiral staircase to the upstairs two bedroom and baths. You need to have a certain level of fitness to master the stair challenge of this home.

Family vacation with grandkids
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our plan was to enjoy the week together on Long Lake and use our boat as much as possible. The grandkids loved being in the lake every day. It is a Sandy bottom lake the beach was very small for the toddlers to play on.There are many stairs in the house and stairs to the lake. The house exterior and the decking areas need some maintenance work. The kitchen area was well stocked with pots and pans and cooking utensils. We would have liked a larger open area for eating meals together. We enjoyed the large deck with a clear patio glass for looking at the beautiful lake and gave the grandkids an area to play together . Limited parking was a problem with extended family visiting.

Beautiful views of Long Lake
The house is beautiful and we enjoyed the lake very much for swimming with a sandy bottom. Deck if very wobbly so caution is needed there. We enjoyed the evenings by the bonfire for roasting marshmallows too. Beware there are many stair steps thru out the house and property. In house the steps are very skinny and circular, hard to get luggage up and down them. Slippery as well. Not a place you would take someone that cannot handle stair steps. Housekeeping is lacking, as dust and spider cobwebs are everywhere inside and out of the window frames & screens. Dog fur from previous renter was noticeable on all the furniture and floors. Outdoor maintenance is needed all around the home, including porch lights that are out. Beds are not comfortable and could be updated. We really liked our stay and had great family fun there! There was enough room for everyone in the big house and enjoyed listening to the loons on the lake. Very peaceful.
