I travel to Traverse City for work and this time I brought along the family. This was a great place to stay while still having access to Traverse City. Kids loved the lake and we all enjoyed the view!
Couldn’t ask for a better experience! The house, location and property are even better than the pictures reflect. The house is thoughtfully appointed and everything you could need is stocked and available. Would come back in a heartbeat!
We rented this home for a vacation with our adult children and 2 grandkids. The location was wonderful and peaceful. The house was gorgeous, well appointed, clean and stocked with everything imaginable. We enjoyed using the kayaks and outdoor decks. We would definitely rent this property again, and will gladly refer our friends.
We came to Traverse City from Los Angeles to attend a family wedding weekend. We wanted to have the ultimate lake experience and succeeded in staying at this beautiful home located in a picturesque spot. The home has every amenity you could imagine and plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The setting is peaceful and calm with plenty to do within a 15 minute drive.
We had a great vacation at this property. There were nine in total, 4 adults and 5 kids (8, 8, 6, 6, 1). The house was well set up and well stocked and the location on the lake was perfect.
Beautiful home and location we've stayed 3 different seasons and it does not disappoint, there were a couple repairs needed and areas that could be cleaned better , but I'm super picky! Overall we love this home and would definitely come again
Everything was beautiful! Beautiful house, beautiful property, beautiful lake, beautiful weather, beautiful location. I can’t think of a more perfect up north Lake experience.
Great location for family vacation. This house has everything for a fun time on the lake. Enjoyed the evenings by the campfire and days playing in the water and kayaking. Also rented jet skis for a day. This home is just a short drive to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Torch Lake, and many quaint towns in the area.

Beautiful 5-star home in perfect Up North location
Perfectly appointed home was comfortable, upscale and perfect for our family vacation. The layout of the house is perfect for multiple families, and the prime spot on Long Lake makes for breathtaking views. Everything was clean and in perfect working order. By far the best vacation house we've ever rented. We can't wait to return next year!
Amazing house on Long Lake! The owners have thought of everything, the house has a great layout for families and is stocked with anything you could need. Highly recommend!! ( but only tell your friends who deserve to stay at such a wonderful and magical house)
An absolutely perfect home and location for a family vacation. The home was spotless and incredibly welcoming from the minute you walk in. We are so impressed with how clean those huge windows are!!! Waking up every morning to that beautiful lake and enjoying the sunsets on the dock will remain our favorite memories. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Beautiful location with stunning views!
The house is more than fully equipped. Beds very comfortable with lots of blankets. Extremely clean. There is not ONE negative thing that can be said!!!! Simply perfect!!! Thanks Jami...the wedding was great!!!
Jami is the greatest host! She even put up Christmas decorations and a beautiful tree!!! It was loved and appreciated. Best Christmas ever! Thanks again Jami!!!
We stayed for a week in August. It was absolutely perfect. The house is beautiful. The kitchen has all the dishes, glasses, and pots you would need for an extended vacation. The house is right on the water. It is shallow out to the end of the dock, so perfect for our 9 year old to play and practice kayaking. They have 2 kayaks for your use. We enjoyed the firepit down by the water every night. It was so peaceful. We didn't want to leave and hope to make it back to this amazing lake house.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Long Lake Escape. We found the house fully stocked with what we needed to cook most of our meals. The grocery store is a short 5 minutes away and we even had Door Dash deliver a few lunches to our doorstep from nearby Traverse City. The owner even left us 2021 party favors since we were staying over the new year - how thoughtful!
We drove every day to Crystal Mountain to ski and loved coming back to the comfortable, impeccably appointed home to unwind. We loved having access to the garage so that we could easily load and unload our ski stuff out of the elements and the house's giant mudroom was great for laying out coats and mittens to dry. We would definitely stay here again if we were looking for a midwest ski getaway.

Our Family Getaway!!
I just wanted to share with you about our getaway in Traverse City! Wow....what a beautiful home!!! The views of the lake were spectacular from many rooms in the house! The lake was clean and clear...just a bit chilly~ I knew that going into our trip since it was only the beginning of June. Everything in this home was so clean and well taken care of~ Top of the top!!! We had everything that we needed! The welcome basket was a nice touch too!!! I felt the location was perfect! You could easily navigate to a store...restaurant...church.... you name it!!
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! I would highly recommend this vacation rental!!
Pictures and descriptions do NOT do this property justice. Everything from booking to our departure exceeded our expectations to the point we were actually bummed we weren't able to spend more time AT the house (although we thoroughly enjoyed a lovely winery tour and several restaurants). We felt like we were personal guests of the owners and couldn't get over the layout, views and mood the décor set. We will be back!
This home was perfect for our family reunion!. The property was very clean and well appointed with plenty of supplies for us to cook and grill our evening meals. There was plenty of space for our family (6 adults and one infant) to spread out in the home and all have some privacy. The views of the lake are outstanding and enjoyed from both inside and from the lovely deck area. There were two kayaks available and enjoyed by everyone. All linens, towels and beds were very good quality. The Long Lake area is a beautiful place and the nearby city of Traverse City is easy to get to and has a lot of fun things to do. We would definitely return to this home.
The house was wonderful the views were outstanding everyone had plenty of room. It was a wonderful family trip we really enjoyed ourselves. The host was very accommodating
Would recommend!!!
Absolutely beautiful property with stellar accommodations. Jami was a perfect host going above and beyond to make our family christmas perfect!! Thanks again Jami!
