This place was perfect for our short little getaway. Close to shopping and wineries. We had plenty of space for all of our guests and everything we needed to make meals and just enjoy each other. I especially loved the communication between the rental company and myself to make sure everything was squared away for our arrival.

Review by
My brother and his wife from Colorado joined my husband and I for a vacation to experience the Traverse City area. We wanted to enjoy the scenery (especially the lakes), hike, rock hunt, explore all the small towns, and visit wineries and breweries. This cottage was a great location for that. The lake front location, dock with stairs into the water, and chairs was great for just enjoying Long Lake and sunsets. We enjoyed sitting on the "porch" eating dinner and playing games at the table at night and talking on the comfy couches in the mornings. Honestly, we lived in this room! The downstairs also has an amazing outdoor space, covered from the rain with equally comfy furniture. The kitchen was stocked with all the dishes, pots and pans, and utensils we needed, although a few more "normal" size coffee mugs would have been nice. We used the charcoal grill one night and that was great to have!We bought firewood, but unfortunately didn't get to use the great fire pit since the weather didn't cooperate.Bathrooms were clean and nice and we had plenty of towels and toilet paper to get us through the week. It was also nice to have a washer and dryer.My only complaint was the very uncomfortable beds. Both queens were saggy and I felt like I was going to roll to the middle. It would have been nice to get a good night's sleep on vacation.All in all though, it was a great week and I would rent the cottage again.

Location is amazing. The property could be in better condition. Pretty messy when we arrived and lots of broken things in the house. Lamps broken, bathroom towel bars and hooks broken, dish washer falling apart, cigarette butts all over outside. The location made up for it and we cleaned up the first day and fixed the dishwasher and moved on. Still worth the money.

This is a fantastic location on Long Lake and not far from TC. The home is older, but very clean. If you are looking for peace and solitude this place is perfect. The listing photo shows a row boat, but it was no where to be found. The main bedroom upstairs could definitely use a new bed. It was VERY uncomfortable! All in all we would stay here again.

So glad you enjoyed the peace and solitude of lthis akefront home. We are so sorry about the rowboat - the owners decided not to replace the last one. We no longer list it as an amenity. We will definitely look into your opnion of the bed. We do look forward to your next Visit Up North.

Bella Soleil Summer Vacation rental

         

Review date: 2020-08-03

Review by Philip J. A.
Bella Soleil is an appropriately named cabin with beautiful sunset views from the dock.An easy drive to Traverse City downtown, dining, shopping and Bayfront activities. We rented a jet ski and Pontoon which were painlessly delivered right to the attached dock. Water quality was great and perfect temperature for swimming. All in all, a beautiful location albeit a touch dated as far as the cabin, furniture, TV etc. goes. Our family had a great time and we would definitely recommend this to friends or family

GOOD LAKE HOME IN EXCELLENT LOCATION

         

Review date: 2019-06-12

Review by Rod D.
Our one week in Bella Soleil on Long Lake was a relaxing and enjoyable stay.The house is very comfortable, well appointed and has great views of the Lake and the brilliant sunsets over the water. The team at Visit Up North were very good with prompt and clear communications and everything worked well. Location of the house was very central to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes and the many other beautiful lakes in the area. We hosted our Holland MI family for the week and our daughter, son-in-law and little grandson truly enjoyed the house, the Lake and all it offers. We highly recommend Bella Soleil. Rod & Lyn.

Upon arrival, we felt very relaxed and at home. Everything was provided for cooking, cleaning and all linens were provided as well. The owner was very helpful and even showed up one day to help us find the oars for the rowboat. The location was perfect and the weather worked out so that we could go out on the dock every night. We were able to eat outside using the provided grill and had a campfire almost every night. It was truly a bargain deal for the price and we would highly recommend this location to anyone. We will be looking to return in the future.

Great experience. Everything there that was needed. Only complaint was the coffee maker didn't work very well. Seven coffee drinkers and it was very slow at making the coffee. Not a big thing, we got through it. Might be something you might want to check out in the future. Maybe just needed to have water and vinegar run through it to clean.

The house was clean, well kept, and had everything you need, but the views of the lake are what made it so nice. The sun room was our favorite spot in the house. The stairs getting to the water are steep, but still manageable. The management company was great to work with and easy to get a hold of. I would definitely recommend this rental.

Annual Michigan vacation

         

Review date: 2018-07-25

Review by Chuck H.
This was our annual Michigan fishing trip and our first time at Bella Soleil. We couldn't have been more pleased. The home was very clean and accommodated 6 adults and 2 children easily. Everyone had their own space. Up North Vacation Rentals was extremely attentive and communicative. I would highly recommend this rental. We brought our own boat and had no problem tying to dock. We were all impressed with the clarity of the lake and the children loved swimming by the dock. Fishing unfortunately was not great that week but the good times we had made up for no fish.

The House was clean and had everything we needed. Beautiful property with steps down to the lake and our private dock. Directions and instructions were clear and very useful. The only negative is that the downstairs bedrooms were a bit buggy. Being on the water and in the woods, this is to be expected outside, but it seems it could use a good spray.

Overall the rental was great! Loved the sunroom! The house was clean and well maintained and there was plenty of room for our party of 9! There are 2 sets of bunk beds (4 beds). For families with small kids - there is not a bathtub or beach/sand at the house. There is a sea wall. However, the lake has a couple awesome islands where you can anchor and let the kids play. The entry point at the house is shallow enough for the kids to play, but they have to walk out the dock and climb down a short ladder.

Review by Shelley B.
The cabin was very nice and clean. I thought there would be a beach area on the water. Since I have two young kids that would have been fabulous for us. Instead it's up on a hill with steps down directly to the water. My kids still loved it but I would have preferred some sand. Otherwise no complaints. Just beautiful.

Manager Response:
Glad you had a great time and the kids found it fun. Sand is not always allowed to be brought in on inland lakes and normally natural or grass up to the waters edge. Hope you come back to see us maybe try for a property on Lake Michigan or tell the reservations person that you really would like to have sand frontage.

Great Place

Great place for a weekend getaway. A bit secluded and lake front on a private road. Only thing that you don't get from the pictures is that the land slopes downhill steeper than expected near the fire place and the dock is down a narrow set of steps. But it is nothing that can't be handled and shouldn't keep you from visiting.

While visiting my son who goes to school in Traverse City with 3 friend so mine & 2 friends of my daughters we stayed at Bella Soleil. It was truly perfect! Everyone had their own space and it was close enough to everything we wanted to do which was tour the awesome wineries on both sides of Traverse City Bay. The view was breathtaking, and the fire pit was perfect way to end the day! I would recommend this place to anyone. Couldn't have asked for a better trip!

The rental property was exactly as described and super clean. The showers had plenty of hot water during our visit. It wasn't a negative to us because we understand it is a rental property but the carpeting was stained so if you are the type of person expecting it to look like new you may be disappointed. The layout was really nice with two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs with a full bath on each floor. There were only two of us with our two little dogs but this house would be perfect for two families sharing a home as well. We especially enjoyed the large screened in porch overlooking the water as well as the covered outdoor area on the lower level - especially during the rain we had. Other than that you could tell the owners took time to make it feel homey -- games were available, plenty of towels, extra blankets, pillows, hangers, and fans were available. We used the air conditioning during our visit and it worked extremely well. We enjoyed the location very much -- 10 minutes to the mall, downtown Traverse City, close to the wineries, 1/2 hour to the casino, etc. so plenty to do. Lots of restaurants within 15 minutes from the property. Having the laundry facilities was nice. The only problem we experienced was that we received the wrong internet access password & ID in our paperwork and so we were not able to log on for the 1st day. We then found the correct information on the side of the refrigerator and it worked extremely well and super fast. When we rented the property they stated that the internet could be sporatic but we did not experience that at all -- we had service whenever we needed it without issue. We would definitely consider renting this facility again. The only comment I would suggest that the owner check into is that the lock box did not actually lock and therefore the key was just sitting in the box without being locked -- we had this issue when we left. Overall enjoyed our stay.

This cottage fit all of our needs for a fun and relaxing week. It's close to Traverse City and Sleeping BearDunes. It was nice that everyone had their own bed. The outside and some of the furnishings could be updated but we understand that it is a rental. The air conditioner, fridge, washer/dryer were all in good working order. The house is right on beautiful Long Lake and the sunsets were gorgeous!

We had a great experience overall. The house is roomy and the kitchen, while minimal, had all of the basics. The water is incredibly clear and clean. The lake was gorgeous - with a sandy bottom, and was incredibly quiet. Stores are close by but you feel secluded. Great hiking close by also. Everyone in the family loved it!

Up North Vacation Rentals is a very professional and outstanding company. This was actually my first time ever dealing with a rental company, but it will not be my last. I will be a repeat customer! Thanks again :)

Great Home, Nice View, Beautiful Lake

         

Review date: 2013-09-22

Review by Micheal G.
We stayed for four nights and had an excellent time. The location of the home was wonderful, the lake is beautiful, and the proximity to Downtown Traverse City was phenomenal. The rental company made the trip as smooth as possible and I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great getaway. The water softener system was wonderful, with no scent of well water whatsoever. We stayed mid September, so we needed both the A/C and the heat, and both worked wonderfully with very quick temperature adjustments. The home was relatively clean and you could tell an effort was made to keep it that way, however, I feel as though the cleaning crew should pay closer attention to the nooks and crannies. I'm happy we brought our own vacuum, as there were many cobwebs and dead bugs still clinging to the ceiling. Dead bugs and spider webs are not my favorite thing to deal with. Just take your own vacuum and spend a half hour cleaning before you call it home for a week. The book that the rental company provided states that "We clean a cobweb and a spider makes a new one in five minutes." True, however you should spray for bugs. To me, this is the same as saying, "We don't clean the toilets because they will just get dirty again." This was the only thing that bothered me... Don't make excuses for insects. Get a contract with an exterminator. The exterior of the home was badly infested also. Now, I know this is an Up North home, but a little insecticide goes a long way, as does some general sweeping. Although it wasn't an issue with us, the home had no bathtub. Beware for those traveling with small children that there are only two showers that are tiny. This may pose an issue helping little ones bathe. The coffee maker left a bit to be desired, as it looked nearly 20 years old. Maybe invest $15 in a new machine. Our stay was wonderful. The small issues are no big deal to us, however, I feel they should be noted. We will be back.

We had a wonderful time on Long Lake the sunsets were amazing. We knew ahead of time that there was a seawall but next time we would try and find a house where we could dock our boat. The property management staff were excellant.

Bella soleil in September

         

Review date: 2013-09-14

Review by Jessica H.
We had a fantastic trip to Michigan and a wonderful stay at Bella Soleil! The location was perfect - just a few minutes out of town away from traffic and noise (it seemed as though we were the only rental amongst year round homes, so it was peaceful and private.) There was plenty of room in the home - the large sunroom allowed our group to split conversations between there and the living room. We prepared several meals in the kitchen and had everything we needed (Walmart and SAMs club are about 10 mins away.) The upstairs bedrooms were perfect for our older family so they didn't have to climb stairs. And downstairs there was an additional counter area with mirror that helped when getting ready in the morning. Overall we were very comfortable and had a great stay!

July Family Vacation

Review by Bill D.
This was our first visit to the Traverse City area and this was the perfect location for us to explore the area along with many relaxing hours by the lake. The screen in porch was our most utilized room, even though it was not in the AC. We are thinking of booking again for next year.

Family Trip

Review by David R.
Great location and the house was clean and in very good condition. The fireworks on Saturday (7/6) were a bonus that we were not expecting. My only suggestion would be to clear some of the trees to provide a better view of the lake from the sun room.

Review by Gail H.
Excellent location. Slightly disappointed that the dock and boat were not available to us but realize it is necessary to prepare for winter. Would have been good to know before the trip, though since we wanted to fish. House was very nicely remodeled with well-appointed with appliances, dishes, quality linens, etc. Very quiet location with excellent lakeside access and views.

We had a great time with this house. The place had mostly wooden furniture which was great since we had an adventurous 16 month old. We did not have to worry about glass items within my daughter's reach. The location was also great! Just between downtown Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear dunes. We definitely plan on coming back!

The house was perfect and we had a blast and I would stay again and I would use Vacation Rental Up North again. They were great and super nice. Only a small issue with the locks but it was minor I would recommend they get new doors and locks.

Three day get away

Review by Jim W.
The property was very clean and in a great location. Not far from downtown or sleeping bear dunes. The house is located steps away from the lake. The enclosed patio is great, but would have been better if the trees were not blocking your view of the lake. Provides alot of privacy, but even if some were cleared would make sitting on the porch very nice during the sunsets. Also, right around the corner from a great restuarant on the lake for steaks. We would definitely come back - nice get away.

The house was great for us. The lake is super clean, but it was very hard to park a boat. We had to wade in the water to get the boat. Steps are steep, but they were OK for us. Unit was really cute and nice. Best part is the porch with the view.

Bella Soleil in June

Review by Jill O.
We enjoyed our stay very much however the door to the sunroom would not close, the air conditioning was ineffective, the steps leading up to the porch were weathered and unstable, and the view of the lake was blocked by trees, that was disappointing. It was very clean, a great size, and the new kitchen and bathrooms were lovely.

Review by Brandi F.
This house is basic but very comfortable and worked out great for 6 adults and a toddler. The kitchen is nicely stocked with lots of dishes etc. They left lots of blankets and clean towels which was great. The location is good. Close to Traverse City and lots of great restaurants. I was a little disappointed there was no walk-in access to the lake from behind the house. My toddler would've had to jump off the dock to swim, but it ended up being a little too chilly for swimming so it all worked out! The washer and dryer leave a lot to be desired. But that is okay. Who wants to do laundry on vacation anyway?! We had a great time in Traverse City and the house and would stay there again!

August vacation in Michigan

         

Review date: 2011-08-17

We stayed 7 nights at bella soila. The cottage is clean. The water pressure in the showers was great. The beds very comfortable. I would have liked to have a set of measuring cups in the kitchen, also instructions stating ONLY cone shaped coffee filters for the coffee maker. Way too many trees. Long Lake is very beautiful, however, we could bearly see it through the trees from the dining area. TOO BAD!! The boat dock has not bumpers on the edge. We rented a boat for 3 days. It was a BIG deal to confine our boat to the dock without scratching or damaging it.

What a cute, updated house. It is bright, clean and cheerful inside. We only had 5 people, but it was very spacious. We only stayed three nights, but next year if we return I would rent a speed boat or fishing boat with a motor that could be kept on the dock. The boat that is there is fun to paddle out for a while, but I would have liked to explore the lake more. Great views from this place as well!
