Spacious, waterfront cottage in Traverse City. Fireplace. Dog friendly.
Make a splash at this up north 1950s vintage cabin-style home on 100 feet of beautiful Long Lake. This vintage cottage has a great âstep back in timeâ feel, with many current updates to create an enjoyable stay. Splash Landing features 4-bedrooms and 2-bathrooms welcoming up to eight guests at a time.
Walk into the open living/dining room area, with lovely hardwood floors and large windows with a view of the lake. Plenty of room for eating, curling up by the wood-burning fireplace, or watching a good movie. To the right, there are two bedrooms on the main floor. The first bedroom has a queen bed and a twin bed, and the second has a queen bed. To the left of the living room, there is a large full kitchen with a dishwasher. The kitchen includes a breakfast area. A full bathroom with a shower/tub combo is to the left of the kitchen at the top of the steps leading to the basement.
The finished walk-out basement has plenty of room, a washer and dryer are under the stairs. There are two bedrooms on the basement level one with a queen bed; the second has a full bed. There is a sofa bed in the spacious lower-level family room. A full bath with a shower/tub combo is available on the lower level. This is a great location to enjoy some downtime, with lots of books to curl up with and board games too! And that is only the inside!
Outside beautiful Long Lake is waiting. There are a few steps down to the lake from the patio area. Swimming, boating, and fishing are just outside the door! A row boat for some fishing fun is included! The lake has a nice sandy bottom for the little ones. A charcoal grill and picnic table are available for an outdoor meal, and the firepit makes a perfect evening gathering place. A Dock and boat mooring is available and will accommodate up to a 17â boat 3000lbs max. Do not tie up to the dock, it is for loading and unloading only. (Dock not guaranteed after Labor Day Weekend or before June 15) there is a camera facing the dock for security purposes.
This home is in a great location, an easy drive to Traverse City and all it has to offer or head to Interlochen or Honor. This home is 30 miles from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. Try South Long Lake Forest Natural Area for a family hike, it is less than five minutes away. Boone's Long Lake Inn is 1.5 miles down the road, or Taqueria TC Latino has great Mexican food, just 4 miles away!

Lovely property for our family! The kitchen, however, was ill-supplied i.e. lots of mis-matched and/or lidless old pots and pans, all poorly organized - we had to search to find two decent fry pans, only one of which had a lid, and there are lots of spacious cabinets, largely empty, to search through. The kitchen table overlooking the lake was wonderful - we played a lot of cribbage there - and the little desk nook was perfect for our laptop. What a beautiful lake, and if the weather had cooperated we would have spent most of our time outdoors - unfortunately it was very cold and rainy. So nice to have a fireplace and lots of wood to take the chill off - a much-appreciated warm and cozy up-north vibe.
This is an oversized 50s cabin right on the water that we stayed at in the dead of winter. It is very charming and includes most of the original features. Everything works, beds are comfy, and we had a great stay!
I grew up spending my summers at Long Lake at my grandparent's cottage. If you understand what going "up north" used to mean and what a classic cottage was like "back in the day" then this place is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for you It has all the elements of that "retro era" with all the modern day amenities (dishwasher, two full bathrooms--one on each floor, and a washer and dryer! AWESOME! Oh! And there's even a piano.) You have a stunning view of the lake from the entry level and immediate, easy access to a covered patio and deck/fire pit areas as well as a lengthy dock that accommodates both an on-site row boat and an open boat rack. This place is a great family get-away as well as a special girls (or guys for that matter) relaxed retreat. Homey and comfy. Bonus--the lily of the valley that line the driveway were in full bloom and their scent was just heavenly! I'll be returning--this time with my whole family in tow!
Great neighborhood, wonderful lake. Location is very convenient to Traverse City and Interlochen. Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, a massive storm blew through the area and destroyed the dock just before we arrived. So, we were not able to take full advantage of the property. The owner/management company did what they could to address our concerns.
Property reminded me of an old cabin, clean, warm and cozy inside. Lots of room to sleep, nice mattresses on beds, comfortable sheets, blankets & pillows. Kitchen was nicely stocked, along with a fridge both upstairs and downstairs. Close to Traverse City, but far enough away from the hustle & bustle. Saw first snow of the season and was beautiful on the trees surrounding the lake. Lights in the kitchen didn't work when we got there, but one call to the property manager and they told us where the electrical box was. We turned the breaker back on and we were back in business. All in all, a great place to rest our heads and hang out. Thanks for the nice stay!
This is a typical Michigan âUp Northâ Lakehouse that many families have in their families for generations. There are 2 bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, and two bedrooms and a full bath downstairs. The downstairs walks out to a patio on the lake.
Overall the home is cozy and comfortable. It appears to have a decent amount of traffic, which is where the cleanliness concerns come in. Not awful, but could be improved upon.
The only other thing I would warn people about is that the bedroom and bathrooms downstairs have low ceilings. Most in our party were under 6ft tall, so it wasnât an issue, but it might be if you or your family is a taller person.
Older âVintage â cottage. Needed 4 bedrooms for 8 (us, kids and spouses. ) Nice layout. Kitchen well supplied. Upper bedrooms were ok and comfortable. However the beds in the basement level were very uncomfortable, so much so that a couple of our kids slept on the sofas. Basement shower didnât drain well, until my son pulled out a gob of hair from it. Overall could have used a better cleaning as there was a lot of dust and cob webs around. Nice lake front location and close to Traverse City.
I have stayed in this area before but not directly on the water. I was so happy to find a place with direct water access. The dock was a great place to sit and dip your toes, read a book, chat with friends. The water was beautifully clear and you got used to the temperature quickly. The house was great for a few days stay. The cleanliness mark is just because we found a bra and a full nail under one of the beds but otherwise the stay was so nice I couldn't mark it any less than 5 stars. I would recommend and stay there again!
The location is pristine and we really loved the view of the lake from the dining table! The only caveat I would point out was the cleanliness of the home. They had hardwood floors so the struggle is always with dust bunnies but with that comes the knowledge of the need to thoroughly clean the floors. Having a wife with dust allergies this turned out to be a nightmare for her with constant flare-ups. All of the vents and air intake locations for the heater were absolutely horridly jammed with dust and it would appear the central heating ducts hadnât been cleaned in over a decade if not longer. Great wonderful location just needs a little bit more attention to the dust that all over the floor and under the beds and tables before being turned over to new tenants.
This was a charming home and the view to the water was amazing! The water was so clear and clean. Even though it was still a bit chilly, my kids couldnât resist. We were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend this home to a family looking for a quiet and fun getaway!
