Kick back and relax in this calm, quiet lakefront cottage. This property is newly renovated and ready to hold some of your favorite travel memories. With luxury furniture, a hot tub, a dock for your boat, kayaks, and a fire pit - you and your group are guaranteed a great getaway by choosing our cottage as your home away from home.
Bedrooms & Loft:
This property is newly renovated specifically with our guests in mind. Each bedroom includes extra blankets and pillows for comfort and mirrors in all bedrooms to help keep the bathrooms less crowded. Bedrooms are outfitted with blackout blinds so there are no early morning wake ups on vacation. Phone-charging stations are next to every bed so there’s no need to hunt for an outlet late at night!
The primary bedroom features a king bed, Roku television, closet, and en suite full bathroom. This bedroom also includes a sliding glass door that opens up to an outdoor porch great for enjoying your morning coffee.
The second bedroom provides a cozy atmosphere complete with a king bed and spacious closet.
Walking up the stairs to the loft, you’ll be greeted by two queen beds and a beautiful view overlooking Long Lake.
Bathrooms:
This property has two full bathrooms with all new fixtures in 2022. The first bathroom is across the hallway from the second bedroom and includes a large shower.
The second bathroom is en suite to the primary bedroom and features an accessible shower.
Kitchen:
The kitchen is fully stocked with baking sheets, crock pots, ample pots and pans, cutting boards, an air fryer, blender, toaster, and wine glasses for every person in your party.
There’s a coffee maker, filters, and coffee grounds that our guests are welcome to use. The refrigerator has plenty of space and a pull-out freezer.
Living Room:
With plenty of seating for the whole family, the living room is a wonderful place to unwind and admire the lake. The comfortable L-shaped couch sits across from a large Roku TV that can be used to sign into any streaming services.
Outdoor Space:
Walking out of the sliding glass doors facing the lake, you’ll find the expansive deck. There is an inviting hot tub that was brand new just before 2023. A grill is included which is perfect for a summer barbecue. The deck also includes a live fire pit with bench seating for your whole family. Walking down the stairs toward the lake, you’ll find a dock with a peddle-boat that you’re welcome to use!
Foyer:
The first room you’ll enter is a tiled mud-room great for keeping your shoes, coolers, and jackets.
Enjoy the entire cottage and outdoor amenities all to yourself. There is no garage, but there is room for 4 vehicles in the driveway.
I won`t be available in person but you can reach me at any time via Airbnb messaging or phone :) Should you have an emergency both our cleaner and maintenance man live nearby.
Long Lake is an all sports lake with a sand bar on the west end. Boaters in the summer anchor out in the knee deep water and sip on their favorite summer drink while their kids play with the neighbors. There is a bar and grill on the lake that offers pizza and a patio facing the water. Loggers Monument is a short drive away offering great views of the Au Sable river and ample hiking trails for guests. Lake Huron is a 30 minute drive from the cottage - where you can enjoy a night in quaint East Tawas or a day at the sandy beaches in Oscoda. There are boat rentals, side by side rentals, and snowmobile rentals available if you’d like to plan an outdoor activity for you and your group while here as well.
