We have a paddleboat, canoe, kayak, paddle board, private dock, corn hole, a grill for your catch of the day, and a fire pit for s'mores and sitting around after a long day of swimming or waterskiing.

Beautiful Family Cottage!
We had the BEST getaway ever! The peaceful and beautiful setting was just what we needed. The location was great, close to almost everything that Traverse City has to offer. The cottage felt like home and had all the amenities and more that I would expect. Can't wait to come back.

Great cabin close to everything!
Thank you very much for hosting me at the cottage on Long Lake in Traverse City! The kitchen and bathroom are brand new and the decor is very nice throughout the cottage. I especially loved the covered patio for drinks and BBQ. What a peaceful spot steps from the water! Listening to the loons calling was another highlight. Comfy beds and very clean throughout! I hope to be back next summer!

Lake Life
The property is literally next to the lake, which makes for an incredible view. All necessary amenities and comfort for a small family. Communication was excellent throughout, and any questions were answered in a timely manner. If you’re looking to enjoy a lake with your own private beach, this is the place for you.

Toes in the sand, Hiddem gem!
We could go on and on, so we’ll start with this: the family is wonderful. They live in the back house on the property, cottage is right on the waterfront. There was a few minor things that had to be addressed but those were taken care of right away by Jason and Susie. The cottage is exactly as described and we had a wonderful time. We had family and friends come and go visiting us, enjoyed many fire pit nights, beautiful sunrises drinking coffee on the beach, bbq’s, played cornhole, paddle boarded and kayaked around the quiet inlet on the Peninsula where the cottage is located. The covered patio was an awesome place to eat dinners and play cards. Henrick, their son rents out their pontoon boats and jet skis for use right there. Literally everything you need to enjoy Lake Life. Grocery stores, Moomers ice cream and downtown TC are all within 15 minute drive. We stayed there for just under a month so we truly got the full experience and the knowledge of the area. Susie and I became fast friends that will last a lifetime. I already miss her ❤️ I recommended my family stay in the cottage next year because of our daughter getting married up in Traverse City and they already booked it. The only thing I would recommend is to bring a few extra bath towels. Steps from the lake, this cottage will not disappoint. It’s not fancy, but met all our needs and would most definitely come back again! Marc and Denise (the Bakers) ❤️

Great “Up North” Vacay
We loved our time here. Our two kids enjoyed the mini beach and lake and kayaking/paddle boarding/etc. Fabulous location where you feel relaxed and away from the world but still close enough to get food and groceries and the comforts we enjoy. We will be back for sure!

Holiday getaway
We had the perfect stay at this charming waterfront property. We enjoyed all it had to offer: the outdoor patio area, the fire pit by the water in the evening for smore's, and the water gear (paddleboat and stand up kayak). The host was more than accommodating to our needs and had a sweet treat upon our arrival. Besides our fabulous stay, we left forming new friendships that we hope continue to flourish.
