Family stay

Overall the inside of the house was clean and spacious. The extra entertainment in the basement was nice to have to play. The only negative was the landscaping of property needs some work

Cozy quiet neighborhood.

The house was overall very nice, inside was clean, rugs were a bit sandy but the floors themselves were good. The AC went out late the first night we were there. Got up to 78 in the house, emailed the property mailed, and they had it fixed and running witnin 2 hours of my call, and also brought fans over just incase. They were very polite and checked multiple times theoughout the 2 hours. Ping pong table was the best part.. within driving range of Traverse city. Big bear, and mutilple excellent restaurant's. Would stay there again.

A great time on Long Lake

We booked this house in March and were pleased to find it even more spacious than expected. The house has an entire game room in the basement, which my family loved. This house is located about 15 minutes from downtown Traverse City, has a lovely, quiet beach only a mile away and is about a four minute drive to Moomers. We enjoyed our stay very much!
