Imagine peaceful mornings on the deck overlooking the lake, quiet walks on gently winding roads, dinner outside with family, or tons of fun playing on Long Lake. This and much more await at this retreat on the all-sports Long Lake. Only eight miles from downtown Traverse City, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home welcomes up to six guests at a time.

Upstairs you will find two bedrooms with queen beds and a full bathroom. Stylish bamboo covers the floors throughout the upper level. Come down the spiral staircase into an open-concept sleeping area. Down the hall is the Master bedroom with an ensuite, featuring a queen bed. Concrete floors through the lower levels of the home keep cool in the summer and have radiant heat for the winter months. Down the hall is the sunken full kitchen and dining area with half bath nearby. A large fireplace completes the welcome. Another few steps down leads to the living room area, with cable TV and DVD player. Windows and decks everywhere make this a fun place to stay, with plenty of views from inside and out.

Outdoors offers gorgeous lake views from the deck, patio, and grilling area. Charcoal and gas grills are provided. Wander down to the deck overlooking the water, a beautiful view no matter what time of day! Continue down the steps to the water below to find a sandy-bottomed lake perfect for swimming, fishing, or anything you want! Dock provided, not guaranteed after Labor Day or before June 15.

Don’t feel like cooking? Why not try Boone’s Long Lake Inn, just one mile down the road, or the Hofbrau Steak House, just six miles away in Interlochen. Want something sweet? Stop by Bud’s for iced coffee or a sweet treat, only six miles away. Need some entertainment? Stop by the Interlochen Arts Academy (7 Miles) and catch a show or the State Theatre in Traverse City (9 Miles) for a movie! Take a day trip to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park (30 miles); Watercraft rentals are available nearby. Whether it’s a day on the water or a day of adventure, there is something to do for everyone!

Cool House and Beautiful Setting

Review by Cody L.

We stayed here for a girls’ trip and had a blast! The house if gorgeous! Well kept, clean, and lots of space. The deck is perfect for hanging out and enjoying the view of the lake. Close to food, groceries, and a quick trip to either Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, or wine country. I plan to return in warmer weather and take advantage of swimming in the sandy bottom lake!

We loved the house. We loved the views and going out on the pier. We rented a boat and it was delivered to us on the water. We had fast response from the staff at Up North Vacation Rentals. My only negative opinion of our rental is the master bedroom mattress was extremely uncomfortable. The mattress sunk in the middle and the sheets did not fit.

What a great experience for our first time using Visit Up North Vacation Rentals! The property was exactly as described, there was plenty of room for our whole family, the place was pristinely clean and we had everything that we were told we would. Wasn't too far from Lake Ann area and some other great breweries and wineries, and it was a very relaxing neighborhood! Highly recommend this property!

Family vacation with grandkids

Review date: 2022-09-25

Review by

Our plan was to enjoy the week together on Long Lake and use our boat as much as possible. The grandkids loved being in the lake every day. It is a Sandy bottom lake the beach was very small for the toddlers to play on.There are many stairs in the house and stairs to the lake. The house exterior and the decking areas need some maintenance work. The kitchen area was well stocked with pots and pans and cooking utensils. We would have liked a larger open area for eating meals together. We enjoyed the large deck with a clear patio glass for looking at the beautiful lake and gave the grandkids an area to play together . Limited parking was a problem with extended family visiting.

The house was clean and well supplied with necessary items. There are lots of stairs and circular stairs that are narrow and not the easiest to manage especially for older people who might rent the home. I think this should be indicated in the overall information.

We have eyed this property many times to stay at. Finally did during the winter of 2022. It's a very interesting layout with many levels and decks. Would love to see what it is like in the summer. Would definitely stay again. It worked well for our family of 5 and could fit a few more as well. We absolutely LOVE staying on Long Lake Peninsula!!

Great house - Lovely lake

Review date: 2021-10-25

Review by

The house was wonderful, a beautiful view of the lake. The upstairs balcony also a great place to view the stars at night. The only disappointment (and it was a significant one), the homeowner had pulled the dock prior to our stay so we were unable to use our boat. I suggest if you list the dock as an amenity, you should mention the weeks the dock would be available. The two weeks we were there were well within the boating season.

Review by Ray B.

Very clean modern home on the lake. My family spent the weekend at Northern Comfort and enjoyed the beautiful sunsets on the deck. Perfect location for a morning or evening paddle. The house is well appointed with kitchen utensils and we found all of the beds and furniture to be comfortable. There are a lot of stairs inside and outside so be mindful of small children and the elderly. I would recommend this property to friends and family.

House is located on Beautiful Long Lake. Very clean and well stocked with staples. Only issue was there are no railings on the outside patio right off the living room. Would not go with children, this is dangerous. Also difficult to go to the upstairs two bedrooms with luggage as the staircase is winding and narrow. "Visit Up North" is a great site to use to rent a house. Would use rental site again, just not this house because of the safety concerns. NO RAILINGS

we are sorry this home was not a good fit for you. In regards to the outside this home has been rented for 20 years with no incident. Yes the home has a winding staircase which we note in the listing. It is not for everyone. We have many homes that have flat terrain and no stairs. Hopefully we can help you choose a perfect location next time.

Review by Adria C.

We knew the weather was a gamble when we chose to visit Michigan in April, but we got lucky with the onset of spring (most sunny, 70 degree days). Even if it had been rainy, though, we would have had a good time in this place. The view of the lake was lovely. We were just the right amount off the beaten path and close enough to anywhere we wanted to go. The house was unconventional in a charming way; there are many small levels and curving stairs, so probably not the place for anyone with mobility issues. My mother-in-law wouldn't have been able to navigate it, for example, and if our kids had still been small, it would have also made me nervous. Even a bit of a challenge bringing in luggage and groceries. It was perfect for two adults, two teens, and a lab, though; we would stay here again!

We had a little delay with checking in, but we were understanding of circumstance, and they did allow us to use the bathroom and back deck while we waited for inside cleaning to finish, which is probably the first place we would have gone anyways. Overall I would definitely stay here again, but probably only in the warm summer months. We could not figure out how to turn the heat on... and we definitely needed heat the entire week! Maybe in the summer, heat is no concern (we noticed a lot of fans available), but during our stay it was unseasonably cold and rainy (50's-60's), and we were just chilled constantly... it didn't help that during the pandemic we didn't really have many options to warm up indoors elsewhere, so it was unfortunate we couldn't even be in the house comfortably. I assume management just hadn't activated the heating system yet? I would have called but kept hoping the forecast would warm up like predicted, just wasn't worth it by mid-week.

We loved the house because of it's uniqueness. It could have been better maintained on the exterior. The rental management staff were excellent and very helpful when needed.

Review by Gregory G.

Not a fan of the house. Noise carries throughout the house so someone watching TV in the living room can be heard in the upstairs bedrooms. Do something to take the squeak out of the stairs when someone is walking on them. Get a new fire pit cause the one you have is rusting out badly. Get a real matt for the front door so you wipe the dirt off your shoes. Finally cut down the tree close to the circular drive so a car with a boat trailer can get through.

Very unique home; affordable price, good value and great location. Difficult access to water for ice fishing and home cleanliness was slightly below my expectation. There was a cracked window (above deck access door) from water damage. This window should be replaced so clients don't have to worry about being accused of damaging it.

Review by Bill D.

This is a very unique home with several levels, eventually taking you down to the lakefront. We found this place in excellent shape and very clean. Lockbox access was easy and the managing agent was quick to follow up on our arrival and if we had any questions or issues. The driveway is larger than I expected and parking for our four vehicles was not an issue. With the four different levels and two deck levels, there was never a feeling of overcrowding. With the number of levels, there are a lot of stairs which may not be suitable for elderly, small children or the handicapped. Stairs to the upper two bedrooms is a spiral staircase. The kitchen was well equipped. Wi-Fi is adequate, but there are certain areas within the house that has no reception. Overall, we were very please with this property.

The house was amazing. Enough room for everyone, although more stairs than I thought.

Review by Lucky T.

We rented Northern Comfort 2 for a long weekend up north. My older sister lives in the area, and me, my little sister and our families wanted one place to stay together. This "cabin" (it's much bigger and nicer than the word cabin implies) had plenty of room (and bathrooms!) for all of us. Our weekend was very busy, and it was great to have a place to come home to. We cooked several meals, went for walks down to the lake and relaxed by the fire in the kitchen. It was a great weekend.

This house was very spacious, clean and with amenities. The location was awesome to be right on the lake with walkout to the water. A very unique layout. Very warm in the winter.

We had a wonderful time other than losing power in a winter storm. The property is beautiful, private, and great for a big party. Wish there would have been cable!

Beautiful Views, Unique Home

Review date: 2016-09-27

Overall good experience, the lake view was beautiful and the home slept 8 couples comfortably. The area is amazing, the back patio/deck is wonderful, there is direct dock access as well. The home architecture is unique - great for a fun vacation home. However, there are a couple quirky layout details. 2 Bedrooms are located upstairs, walking up a narrow spiral staircase. The queen/twin trundle area is not in a private bedroom, its secluded but right in the walking path to go upstairs. The linens/bedding were clean and rooms were comfortable. There are 2 full baths, but one is located in the master suite - which makes it a bit awkward to share. There is only 1 half bath, but its located in the kitchen. All towels/baths were clean as well. Regardless of quirks, the house worked out fine for our group of friends. The negatives - the oven was broken, some kitchen basics weren't available (like saran wrap, garbage bags, small number of coffee cups), and the concrete floors were not swept/mopped.

We spent a week with a large family group - in fact we rented two houses. We enjoyed our stay. The area is beautiful...there is so much to do. The house is modern and unique. It had everything we needed, plus spectacular views. The only detracting factor was the number of steps in the house (an elderly member of our party had a difficult time with them. We would absolutely come back!

long lake review

Review date: 2016-05-24

Review by Pierre K.

my family had a great time, the home was very nice and clean, there was some signs of wear but overall nice . there was a private boat launch a few doors down for folks on the peninsula but we had no means of accessing unfortunately so we had to drive 2 miles to an other launch, not a big issue but it would have been nice had we had access. On a lighter side you had better hope the zika virus never goes North as the mosquitoes are a plenty on long lake. I do feel rentals should be from noon to noon however

Manager Response:

I am glad you had a nice vacation. The boat launch is private and therefore guests of the owners can not use. As far as being noon to noon we do need time to clean the homes , you are welcome to ask for a late check in or check out and if there is not someone leaving or coming it should be no problem.

We would give it a 4 out of five for Rating.

We were very happy with both the home and the correspondence with the staff. The house was eclectic and reminds us of a frank Lloyd wright house. Could of used a deep cleaning and kinda kitchen kinda needs updating but Overall it is fine.

3 generation get together

Review date: 2014-08-18

Review by Glenda T.

The family had a great time together. Our party included two children 21/2yr and 5yr. They managed the stairs. There are 56 stairs from the water to the upper bedrooms, so not the place for someone with disabilities. Three bedrooms have doors, the 4th is a sleeping area, semi-private with a folding screen. The house would benefit from some TLC especially the kitchen appliances. There is no beach to speak of but the water is very shallow and great for floating around and good for the little ones in our party. There is a dock and moorings available and we rented a pontoon boat and visited the town beaches and the islands in the lake. A really gorgeous lake,would go back.

Winter Wonderland

Review date: 2014-01-23

Review by Ryan H.

We stayed here over the New Years week. It was our first time in the Traverse City area during Winter. The House is wonderful! The radiant heated floors were amazing during this time of year. The temperature averaged between 3-10 degrees but as soon as you walked into the house it felt wonderful. The location was convenient to downtown Traverse City and the great dining and shopping. Overall, we had a great time and the house worked out wonderfully.
