Character home on Long Lake

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I stayed at the Forest Lodge in the late fall and it was spectacular. It was quiet, colorful, and the location was perfect relative to Traverse city and the wineries. The home is historic yet with all modern conveniences. We recommend it for out of season visits.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Huge historic home on beautiful Long Lake couldn’t have been any more charming. The walk down to the lake was a little longer than we would have liked but overall it was a fantastic vacation place.We had plenty of room to live for a week with the spacious great room .The dining room table switched conveniently from a place to eat into a family gathering for evening games and cards.The large wrap around porch provided another area of outdoor gathering for morning coffee to plan the day’s activities. We would consider rebooking in the future.

2nd Lovely Stay at Serenity Forest Lodge

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family group of 6 adults (three generations) enjoyed our second summer vacationing at this historic, secluded, cool lakeside lodge. Numerous improvements had been made; we so appreciated the increased lighting, new washer/dryer, and how very clean the whole place was when we arrived. The new dock is sturdy and makes swimming much easier with the steps down into the water. The kitchen is well stocked, and we loved both casual lunches on the back patio, and gathering at the large dining table for dinner. Proximity to Traverse City shopping and attractions is terrific. We rented a kayak and used the canoe that comes with the rental too. Long Lake is clear and very swimmable, with buoys marking a loon preserve across the lake from the lodge. We heard loons every morning and night, and even saw a few. Guests should be warned that this is not a very accessible house; that's the down side. We brought 2 grandmothers, but couldn't bring the third because she can't do stairs. A few ramps here would go a long way.
