Review
The house and location were great and met our needs well. The host was quick to answer the phone and took care of most requests quickly. The only thing that could have been improved was there wasn't enough garbage bags, kleenex and toilet paper for the number of people who were staying here. But except for that it was a great stay. Thanks

Fun annual family vaca week memories!
House was great for our family of 5 adults and 2 kids. Long Lake is always our first choice and this property’s sandy Lake-bottom and very gradual way it gets deeper makes it safe and fun. We lucked out with the weather, which always helps.

Great lakefront cottage for kids!
It was a great cottage, our kids had a blast with the beach right out front. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms and eating space for all of us. Felt like we had plenty of room with 2 kids and 4 adults. Would 100% stay here again!

We've been renting homes for 38 years; this home was spacious & wonderful. Having the lake right out your door perfect, Long Lake is shallow enough for young kids, and anyone who just wants to float and enjoy the water. Nice clear water where you can see the bottom, (good thing bc my glasses fell off). If you want to fish or do water sports this lake has it all. The home was as advertised...you won't be disappointed with this rental.

We went here for our annual family vacation and it was wonderful. Hosts went above and beyond with amenities and communication with me. We have children ages 10 month to 12 yr and all were able to enjoy the swimming and playing without ever leaving the house. Would highly recommend this home for families with young children.

Large home with lake frontage and dock. Kids had fun swimming and fishing. Weather wasn’t the greatest but nothing you can do about that. A lot of work for only four days, recommend a weeks stay if available. Host was kind and prompt to answer texts. There were no problems.

Great for littles!
We visited long lake with my husbands family. We had 4 children 5 and under. It was absolutely perfect for them. The water was nice and shallow, and they loved the little slide. The property was clean and comfortable. It did get a little hot one of the nights we were there, but Annetta came installed AC in the kids room. We were very thankful. We enjoyed our stay very much.

June 2022 Family Vacation
We came up north with our daughters and their husbands and another couple friend of ours and our greyhounds. It was large enough to handle us all and really nice. The owners responded very quickly to our needs and was extremely friendly and easy to deal with. We rented a pontoon for the week and enjoyed that even though we had weird weather our last two days- like 40 mile per hour winds and very rough waters. The marina people were nice enough to come drive the boat back to their place since the lake was certainly a challenge. All and all, we had a very relaxing and enjoyable time.
