Fantastic Vacation Home
My family had the most wonderful vacation week at this cottage. The place was very spacious and clean. Kitchen had everything you could possibly need. We loved cruising and fishing from the pontoon boat, as well as using the paddle boat and kayak. The men went to the Gilmore Auto Museum and enjoyed that as well. We just loved the area. My grandson also loved the golf cart rides courtesy of Ray and bought some of his wife's desserts; they were excellent. We would definitely love to stay here again!

This place is so nice for families! We were here for the second year in a row and were very pleased with our stay. The other reviews posted here are very accurate - could the place use updating? Maybe, but honestly I love it just the way it is.

Beautiful views
Beautiful views of lake and quiet especially during the week. Sand bottom to end of pier. House needs updating and some TLC but was satisfactory. Loads of kitchen accessories. Didn't rent pontoon boat but it needs a really good wash down.

Just as good the 2nd Time
We also stayed at this house in July 2023 and after looking at some other places for Summer 2024 we decided to come back here. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths it is just the right size for my wife and I along with our daughter and her husband and their 5-year old twins. The nice size yard and the gently sloping sand beach are perfect for the grandkids. While the house is a bit dated it has good size bedrooms, a decent kitchen, dining area, and large family room all on one floor. And the washer and dryer come in very handy. The only glitch we had on this trip is that when we arrived the owners were still there working to address an issue that had happened during a prior renters stay. Check-in was at 4:00 and it was closer to 5:30 before we got in but everything was fine then. The kayak that was supposed to be at the house was also missing (blew away during a storm?). Anyway it was nice to meet the owners and they graciously provided us with use of the pontoon boat for the week at no additional charge (other than the cost of gas). One other thing to be aware of; there is a youth camp directly across the lake from this house and they can get a bit loud, especially during the afternoon. Overall though, I recommend this place if you're looking for a reasonably priced house right on the lake. A couple of suggestions for the owner - 1) install more towel bars in the master bath, 2) provide some Tupperware or something similar for storing leftovers during the week.

Long Lake Vacation Rental
PROS The hosts were very attentive and checked with us multiple times during our stay to make sure everything was ok and to our satisfaction. The location of the cottage makes it easily accessible from mid-Michigan with very little travel time. The kitchen was well equipped with just about any small appliance you might need for preparing meals. There is a large deck facing the lake and provides a nice setting for relaxing. Our family enjoyed fishing directly from the dock. A water cooler with bottled water is provided and located next to the kitchen in the living room. This was most helpful with cooking, making coffee, and just getting a cold drink of water when needed. During the mid-week of our stay, there was very little boat traffic on the lake and the area was mostly quiet. CONS The cottage is older and could use some updating. The interior has a significant amount of darker wood paneling which makes having shades open and/or lights on a necessity. Some brighter wall colors in painted areas would help too. The yard is fairly flat and rain received during the week caused some ponding making traversing somewhat difficult. The mattress is the master bedroom was in need of replacement. The central air conditioning was an older unit and when needed (outside temps above 80+) had a difficult time cooling to 75 degrees or lower. Bathrooms could use additional towel racks. The pontoon boat also rented could use some attention and updating.

Wonderful, relaxing vacation
House was in a small lake community and had everything needed for cooking. We grilled out twice. Used the firepit. The beds were very comfortable. We were able to relax, unwind and view the lake. We were close enough to town (Hastings) to run to wal mart and get all of our food for the week. The host called to check in with us and answered questions. I would definitely go back again.

What an awesome place! A perfect lakefront house. On a real nice lake, with nice frontage. The house is very nicely kept and the perfect size for 6 of us in our family. The weather was perfect and we got to enjoy the optionally rented pontoon.

Loved the lake front ranch home!
Our daughters and their spouses joined us for one week on Long Lake. It was a great vacation. We enjoyed being on the lake with a beach and dock with the rental pontoon boat. The water in Long Lake was so clear and clean - really lovely! Also the yard, deck and fire pit were great for enjoying the outdoors and the lake, the sunset and the stars, swimming and kayaking (We also rented two additional two-person kayaks from the Gun Lake Marina about 20 minutes away transporting them on our car roof racks, because we love to kayak.), and fishing up and down the lake. The house had good hang out space indoors and for dining and food prep. Bottled water always chilled made things easy. Sleeping rooms were as represented and comfortable. Also it was great looking out on the ripening fruit trees in the front lawn. The pears were nearly all gone but various types of apples were abundant and a few peaches were still on the tree. The neighborhood was friendly. We walked the dog up and down the road which provided a decent distance for a people walk or a dog walk. Owners were accessible and responsive. We had a very enjoyable stay!

Great lake house with everything needed for a great vacation.
Booking and setup was very easy and streamlined. Instructions on access and everything about the lake house were simple and easy. The host was always very attentive before and during our stay. They really wanted us to enjoy ourselves. The house was plenty big enough for a family of four with a dog. House was stocked with all supplies needed for our stay and had all the amenities as described and then some. We rented the boat and enjoyed fishing and just cruising beautiful Long lake. The kids swam every day and played in the nice little beach steps from the back door. Nearest town is Hastings and has everything you need for groceries, supplies and dining out. Long lake is a great little community and we will be back again.

Perfect for a family!
We had an excellent stay and made lots of memories! The beach area is perfect for young kids. My 2 and a half year old had a blast, and I felt very comfortable with him on the deck and in the yard and on the beach. Grandparents all had a great time also. It was nice that the house had lots of space and was all one level. The camp across the lake was so fun to watch and listen to! We found it to be really entertaining and not at all disruptive as the campers are on a very set and predictable schedule. My toddler napped inside from 1-3 each day and could not hear any of the hootin and hollerin of the campers swimming, so don’t let that give you cause for concern. Neighbors were extremely quiet and/or not home. Lake itself not crazy busy and felt very safe for kayaking, fishing, boating, swimming, etc. We plan to be back again!

Good size house & availability of pontoon paddleboat kayak great. Big deck & sandy beach area perfect for small kids. Kitchen well equipped but disappointed w oven & dishwasher. Would suggest grab bars in masterbath as tub is difficult to get into for adults & children. Step outside door to deck def needs repair.

A Nice Summer Vacation
The home is older but it was very clean and well-stocked with basically everything you could want. The décor of the house is a bit dated but it was very comfortable. A few minor things – the master bath only has 1 towel rack, limited closet space in the master suite (one closet with rod was full of stuff), the dishwasher is not secured to the counter. The house is arranged with a master suite w/queen bed at one end and 2 rooms w/2 double beds each at the other end. In between are the dining area, kitchen, laundry, and family room. The large deck has 2 tables and includes a gas grill. The igniter on the grill didn’t work. Our group included twin 4-year-olds and 4 adults and we all enjoyed the large yard, deck, sand beach, and dock. Long Lake itself was nice, about 2 miles long and ¼-½ mile wide. There was a lot of boat traffic during the weekend but it was much quieter during the week. Camp Michawana is across the lake and at times during the day there was a fair amount of noise coming from there. The house also has a pontoon boat you can rent (we did for part of the week) but I’m not sure it was worth it. Cruising the lake takes about 20 minutes and you can only do that so many times. The owner provided us with a video on starting the boat after we had an issue with that; it would be nice to have this video ahead of time. A binder with local info on grocery stores, firewood, fishing licenses, local attractions, restaurants, etc would have been useful. Would rent again.

About the host

Hosted by Ned or Gorica

Host profile image
We came from Europe 30+ years ago and live in Chicago area.

Why they chose this property

We were visiting a friend that lives on the lake and fell in love with it. We liked quiet evenings, crystal clear water and sky full of stars.

What makes this property unique

If a trendy cafe around the corner is your thing than this is not the place for you. This is quiet, lake side fires, hanging on a raft kind of place, fishing, etc. Turn of the cell phone and relax, bring the dog and watch the sun set, or later on gaze at the star filed sky that you never noticed before.
