Exactly as described and great stay

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!

Lovely Long Lake property

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.

Classy Cottage!

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!

Splash Landing retreat from reality

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Splash Landing was a wonderful retreat. This was the third time my family has been here, and we love it each time. The cottage was very clean , the beds comfortable, the view beautiful. We loved our morning walks, hanging out by the water and having campfires. The only thing missing was a fully functional BBQ, as I had been told there would be a propane grill but instead there was a charcoal grill without any charcoal or lighting fluid, so make sure to bring your own supplies for a cookout. We instead cooked out inside and it was fine! The rowboat was fun to take out but the oars were super squeaky so those just need a little oil or something. Other than those two minor issues, it was a wonderful long weekend away from the hustle and bustle or everyday life. We will definitely be back again! It's out Up North Happy Place, for sure!

Fun lakefront vacation get-away!

Quiet lakefront cottage on Long Lake within short driving distance to Traverse City. Plenty of room to spread out, enjoy a bonfire and dine in or explore the local attractions.

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.

Made a Grammy happy!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My brother and I wanted to rent a home for our mother who doesn't travel much. This was a last minute booking so I was worried we wouldn't like the house. It was a really good deal. We pulled up after my mom and brother had gotten there and my mom walked out with a thumbs up. She immediately said I love this place! It's an older home, but a feel of a cottage. My husband and two kids (age 6 and 8) all had a great time. We had a fire and the kids loved picking a room. My mom said she would love to rent this house again. Thank you!
