Forest Lodge Serenity
Stay at this incredible lakefront lodge, located on a quiet tree-lined road right on Long Lake. This beautiful home has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and welcomes up to 10 people. The open-style, spacious living room has a wood-burning fireplace and is a great place for gathering. The primary bedroom has its own fireplace and an en-suite bathroom.
This location is beautiful and private on an all-sports lake with a no-wake zone in front of the house. There is a huge porch with rocking chairs and wrought iron furniture to sit and enjoy the gorgeous lake views. Enjoy summer picnics on the deck or down on the shoreline, with lots of room for the kids to run and play. The water is shallow at the shore. There is a grill available for outdoor cooking, and a fire pit by the shore. The sunsets are spectacular and make for a perfect ending to a perfect day.
This home is in a great location for exploring the area. It is about 6.5 miles to downtown Traverse City and 10 miles to the Interlochen Center for the Arts. Drive approximately 30 miles to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, and 26 miles to Crystal Mountain for skiing in the winter!
Well-behaved pets are welcome, and owners must clean up after them.
