About this property

Long Lake Lakefront Retreat — Kayaks, Firepit & Game Room

  • Welcome to The Breakaway!

    Tucked away on a peaceful, private stretch of beautiful Long Lake, this newly updated lakefront retreat is where quiet mornings, lake days, and time together come naturally. Spend your days swimming, kayaking, boating, or fishing, then gather around the lakeside firepit, relax on the covered patio, or head to The Barn for game nights.

    Wake up to the sound of loons, watch deer wander the shoreline, and end your evenings around the fire beneath a sky full of stars. On any given day, you might catch a glimpse of a beaver swimming by with a freshly cut branch. Those are the moments that made us fall in love with Long Lake—and the moments we hope you'll experience too.

    With 100 feet of private lakefront, The Breakaway is our little corner of Up North—a place to slow down, reconnect, and make memories that last long after the vacation ends.

    Sunrises included.

    Traveling with a smaller group? Ask us about our main cottage option for groups of up to 6 guests.

    Pontoon boat rental available. Please inquire for details.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The Breakaway is an updated, clean, and nicely decorated cabin that provided many options to keep our trip full of fun. Our mornings were spent enjoying a cup of coffee while taking in the lake views from the dock. The covered patio area was a great option to get a break from the hot July sun, while still enjoying the outdoors. The Bunkie also provided games, which is a great option in case the weather does not cooperate. There is also an option to rent the Pontoon boat, which we did not choose to use since we are not experienced boat drivers. The communication from our hosts Amanda and Grant was exceptional and they were always prompt with answering questions and supplying us with great information to make our stay impeccable. This was a wonderful place to stay and provided all the amenities' needed to make our stay memorable. Amanda and Grant have gone above and beyond with the small details and really thought of everything to make the stay relaxing and worry free. Look forward to staying again someday.
