Change of plans

Due to some family stuff, my party of four turned in to a party of one. The place was a perfect relaxing getaway right on the lake. It was a great location for me because it was close to other family members, and many of them were able to stop by for a visit. The little store and the restaurant on the water were in walking distance and had pretty much anything I needed, not that town is that far away. I would stay here again but next time will try to bring my boat.
Relaxing after a long day.

Very Nice Cabin

Family had a wonderful stay with our young grandchildren. House was very clean and just the right size for our group. Everyone enjoyed walking right out on the dock to have breakfast. Beautiful location and very quiet neighborhood. Wish we would have booked the whole week instead of three nights.

Great Cottage

A charming right-on-the-lake cottage with nice updating that retains the old charm. Perfect for the 2 of us but room for more, especially if family. Our pontoon boat was right at home at the new dock and there are choices for launching. Ryan (Host) was Johnny on the spot with all communications plus a local housekeeper dealt with the few issues we had. Even delivering brand new wine glasses! We recommend this rental wholeheartedly!

Memories

My brother and I spent summer vacations at Long Lake as children/teens. This cottage and location is within a mile of our cottage. It was a comfortable and perfect place to spend the time, and it had everything we would need and want. The grounds and views are beautiful Communication with the host was easy and very accomodating.

Fall Hideaway for Fishing

Quaint, rustic and updated cabin with all the necessities to enjoy time by the waters of Long Lake. Plenty of room for parking the boat trailer. Water at the dock was shallow when we visited so we loaded and unloaded at the DNR Boat Ramp 3.5 miles to the west. Lots of opportunities in nearby Alpena and Lake Huron. Communication with the owner was easy and response time was immediate. Clean and well kept! Thank you Ryan!
