2 Bedroom Cottage in Traverse City

Lakestone Cottage is located on Long Lake, near Traverse City. It has its own private dock, a sandy bottom at the shallow shoreline leading out to the pristine deep blue water. Perfect for adults, children, and dogs. The spectacular sunset views, directly across the lake, and the calling of the loons create a seldom experienced serenity. The cottage, built in 1936, is one of the few original homes in the area, and the property of choice for all the right reasons! The well maintained, picturesque stone cottage, features panoramic picture windows to enjoy the water and sunset views, and a true retro kitchen to help recall the mid-century simpler, relaxed lifestyle. A remodeled bathroom, TV, along with wireless broadband Wi-Fi, and central air conditioning provides the expected current necessities. The kitchen is also outfitted with a microwave, dishwasher, Keurig, and a washer and dryer.
Long Lake Township, Traverse City, MI Short Term Rental Ordinance states that only one boat may be moored, and while four persons may stay overnight, another two persons are allowed to visit until 10:00 p.m. This is not a party place!
2,900 acre Long Lake, just a 9-minute drive from downtown Traverse City, is known for its walleye and perch fishing, and is one of the larger lakes in NW Michigan. Four single-seated kayaks and life jackets are stored on site and ready for you to use. Lake Boat Rental enables you to enjoy all this beautiful lake has to offer - power boats, SUP's, and pontoon boats. There are four islands with sandy beaches and hiking trails waiting to be explored. Two marked moorings are provided at the end of the dock to moor a boat overnight, and extra parking is adjacent to the garage for boat trailer parking. The Long Lake boat launch is just minutes away.
The fire pit near the shore beckons to be used for an enjoyable evening of roasting smores while watching the sunsets. In the mood for ice cream instead? Visit Moomers Homemade Ice Cream, and it's only about 3 miles from the cottage. The large lawn is wonderful to play yard games, and there is also a patio table and chairs to dine al fresco. A gas grill and utensils are available to help provide quiet relaxation from a day of sight-seeing, touring wineries/breweries, biking the trails, fishing, touring the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park. It's no wonder National Geographic Magazine voted the Grand Traverse area one of the top ten family vacation spots in the world.

Summary: My husband and I stayed 3 nights at Lakeside Cottage to check out the area. From the moment I stepped through the front door, the cottage reminded me of a lake cottage I used to stay in as a kid during our summer trips to Wisconsin. It is so quaint and cozy with amazing views of the lake. The hosts are wonderful, the amenities terrific and I would highly recommend this property if you are touring the area. There are so many things to do within a short drive and lovely to come home to such a cute house after our day's adventure was done.
