2 Bedroom Cottage in Traverse City
Lakefront Cottage on Long Lake – Private Sandy Beach & Dock, Covered Patio
Welcome to our newly remodeled lakefront cottage—your perfect Up North getaway! Nestled at the end of a private cul-de-sac, just 15 feet from the water’s edge, this charming retreat offers 100 feet of private sandy frontage on Long Lake. Whether you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, or a romantic escape, our cottage has everything you need to create lasting memories.
Endless Outdoor Fun & Relaxation
Spend your days swimming, sunbathing, or exploring the lake with our paddleboat, canoe, kayak, and paddleboard. Our private dock is perfect for fishing, jumping off of, housing your private boat, or renting a pontoon for a sunset cruise. After a day on the water, unwind with a bottle of your favorite local wine on the boat, toasting to breathtaking lake views.
As the sun sets, listen to the soothing call of the loons echoing across the water—a true Northern Michigan experience. Gather around the fire pit for s’mores or relax on the covered patio, complete with a comfortable couch and picnic table—perfect for lakeside dining, morning coffee, or stargazing. Fire up the Weber gas grill for a lakeside cookout, and enjoy cornhole and lawn games for some friendly competition.
