Long Lake Therapy-HotTub/WalkTo Beach/Fire Pit/AC

Enjoy this beautiful 2,014 sq.ft. home just a short walk to Long Lake/Gilbert Park & beach! The gorgeous windows showcase 2.5 acres of forest views. In the garage, you find 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, and a grill for your use. Explore wine country, Traverse City (10 min.), the islands and beaches of Long Lake, and Sleeping Bear Dunes. This comfortable home will be the perfect launching pad for all of your adventures up north. Gilbert Park beach is just a short walk! About 30 min. to ski Crystal!

We love hosting you! We are just a quick text/call away and are happy to help make your getaway seamless.

We are situated in a family neighborhood, with large lots and very well kept homes. Please help us maintain good relationships with our neighbors by being respectful of our rules and Long Lake Townships STR ordinance boundaries (basically common courteous goes a long way). Gilbert Park beach and boat launch are just a short walk. - head toward the lake and turn right.
(The Raintree Forest beach/dock area is private and not for use.)

We have a pretty large driveway that could accommodate a boat trailer.

We just bought this home and almost completely refurnished it! All of the bedroom furniture is new including the mattresses. We have tried to make our home exactly how we would want it if we were on vacation with our 8 person family. You will find the kitchen fully stocked, full size shampoo/conditioner and body wash in all 3 showers, a volleyball and air pump for the beach, a full spice rack, and so much more.

Main Floor: Full Bathroom
Upstairs: 2 King Bedrooms, 1 Queen Bedroom, and a Full Bathroom
Lower Level: King Bedroom and Full Bathroom

We hope you enjoy the double-sided fireplace, secluded patio with forest views, and relaxing hot tub!

Amazing place to stay

We have stayed here twice now and absolutely love it! It’s a great area quiet but close to all the attractions. We were able to enjoy the hot tub while watching it snow. The house is very clean and home-like. We will definitely be staying again in the future.

Enjoyable Spring Family Getaway

We really enjoyed this property. The communication was great, and it was very clean. We traveled with young children including a 7 month old. You have a different perspective of cleanliness when young children are on the floor, and we approved. It’s very spacious, in an awesome location, and feels private. We would stay here again or at this hosts other properties. Thanks for having us!

Relaxing, snowy stay

We went as a family of 4, plus grandparents and the setup was perfect. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well stocked. It was handy to have a few extras like a mud tray for wet boots, plenty of towels in the bathrooms, extra blankets in each bedroom, and a garage to park in. We stayed in February and still got out for walks and local hikes, the setting is beautiful.Communication was quick and professional. We were a little disappointed that the fireplace and garbage disposal were not functional but quickly got a response that settled any concern about missing amenities (fireplace recently broken and being repaired and township did not allow garbage disposals).

A Great Stay!

This was our second time staying at one of Kelsey and Joes properties. We loved the space, check in and out is always easy and they are quick to help make your stay the best it can be.

Quiet Location for a Fall Outing

We had three nights in this home in a quiet area just up the street from Long Lake. Perks are use of the kayaks and stand up paddle boards, which only two of my family had time to use, and the outdoor firepit which we used two different nights. The house sit on a wooded lot with beautiful fall leaves. It's a just a short drive to Traverse City and we were happy to be outside the city limits a ways and didn't mind driving to the various sites we wanted to see. The house could use a few updates but it was clean, the beds were super comfortable, and it easily housed our 7 adults. The owner communicated quickly when I had a question and we certainly enjoyed the treats left for us on the kitchen counter.

Lots of things to do

One of our favorite things about our stay was the number of activities available. We paddle boarded, kayaked, went to the beach, had a bonfire, hot tubbed, and grilled out. Having all of these options made our trip!
