Traverse City, Michigan | Sleeps 12 | 5 Bedrooms | 2.5 Baths | Private Lakefront | Hot Tub Dock | Dogs Welcome

Find your calm on the shores of Long Lake, where modern comfort meets timeless Northern Michigan beauty.

Wake to glassy water and the sound of loons drifting across the bay. Spend lazy mornings with coffee on the deck, or paddle into the sunrise from your private dock. Designed for connection and comfort, The Long Lake Escape blends lakeside serenity with thoughtful, elevated design, a true Northern Michigan retreat.

The main-level primary suite offers a king bed and ensuite bath, while the upper level features additional king and queen bedrooms, a bunk alcove, and a flexible workspace for remote-friendly stays.

Step outside to your own private shoreline: soft sand, calm water, and space to unwind. Launch the kayaks or paddleboards, tie your boat to the mooring ball, or simply relax in the hot tub as the sun sets over the lake. Evenings invite fireside laughter and star-filled skies pure Up North magic.
