About this house rental

-And as always, we never charge Host, Cleaning, Pet (up to two dogs), or Extra Guest fees! If staying during the winter, you need a 4 wheel drive or at least a front wheel drive vehicle to access the home.

This 'Cottage Style' home features, Maple flooring, milled beam accents, ceramic tile, cottage decor, and a cozy fireplace. It is also set up for family fun, with separate areas for adults, and little ones alike.

The Landing is situated atop a natural slope with *views of Long Lake, beautiful towering trees and wildlife and features 160' of very private, sandy bottom frontage on peaceful all-sports Long Lake in Benzie county. Built in 2004, this home is located right in the center of one of Northern Michigan's most desired vacation destinations. 'The Landing' is directly across the street from Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore property, with hiking to Lake Michigan less than a mile down the road and is only minutes from such areas as Empire, Glen Arbor, Crystal Lake and Frankfort. 
 
Also, just 3-4 minutes walk** down the hill, and thru the boardwalk trail, await your own private island... OK it's not a private island, but it is a 160' of very private sandy beach frontage. There is a row boat, 2 kayaks, life jackets in various shapes & sizes, full dock w/moorings for extra boats, fire pit w/chairs, rope hammock, 2 chaise lounges, and as an extra bonus we include the use a

When these amenities are available: Kayaks (May 1st til Nov 1st), pedal boat (April 1st til Nov 15th), Docks (Mid-May til Nov 1st).

*To some extent seasonal, as during the summer when the trees are full, you can't see the lake as well, but there still are some breaks.

**3-4 minutes for healthy adults and children, for those with health issues it could take a little longer. Home also sits on a small hill so the walk back up could be a concern for those with health issues.

- Winter guests must bring an all-wheel-drive vehicle or at the very least a front wheel drive with good snow tires.

**** Be sure to check out "Additional Information" - "Things to Bring" so that you'll have everything you need to enjoy your stay! There is only room for 4 cars in the driveway and you can't park in the street. Please plan for this.

---- Also we provide a starter supply of paper/soap products which should be enough for typical 3 night stay, for a smaller group of 2 people. For a complete list of "what is provided" and "things to bring", check out "Using the property”, on your “My Trip” page.

Great place to stay with the family for a family vacation. Kids and adults loved the beach and boat! Location was great not to far from things. Suggest putting a fan in the main floor bedroom it was warm. Otherwise it was very nice.

Took a trip up north with a friend from out of state, and what a perfectly picturesque accommodation this was! Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Check in and check out were both a breeze. Whole place was immaculate. The lake and private beach were beyond expectations, and listening to waterfowl calls with a campfire going will be etched in my memory. Can’t wait to return with the whole family!

This was a surprise getaway for my wife. I told her we were going somewhere but didn't give details. The home was beautiful, romantic and looked just like the photos. It was even bigger than I was expecting. We had a great view of the lake, lots of DVDs provided and a huge kitchen for nice meals. This home was a hit! Thanks, Lizzie!

13 family members of our clan came together to celebrate birthdays and our family bond. There's good reason this home is a Super Host VRBO. Beyond the absolutely beautiful setting, every need is considered. The hosts went above and beyond by providing their pontooon boat (this meant a lot to us), while other family members kayaked and used the row boat. A last night bonfire on the private beach with a starry night capped off the stay. The walk to the beach area is magical day or night. The area is perfect for a variety of activities, shopping, dining, hiking. There's something for everyone. Such a joy to celebrate family ties in Honor's lovely nest.

We enjoyed a week at this cottage which was decorated in a cozy country cabin way.

This lovely cottage on a hill was conveniently located a short walk to private access on Long Lake. We used the kayaks and paddle boat even in late October. We were also a short drive to numerous Lake MI beaches and little towns. The steep drive and turn around took some getting used to with our 4 vehicles, but it worked!

Super clean and fit all 12 of us fine great! Pontoon was old but was all we needed for a little cruise around the lake. Centrally located to do many different things hike, wineries, breweries and so much more! The driveway is definitely a little steep but the swing set was nice for the smaller kids. The beach is a little further than it states especially when carrying things down for children (or going back up for bathroom breaks) so kind of difficult to bring firewood down for the fire pit, so be sure to bring something to carry a load of wood down. It was still beautiful and a perfect weekend with friends. We will definitely be renting again!

Loved the home ! It was very clean and well stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms. We have a senior pet, so having it pet friendly was a plus for us. Close to Frankfort and Lake Michigan, so we could have a day out. Enjoyed the pontoon as well. The only small negative was the lake was farther from the house than we understood. Would definitely come back and stay again though. Loved the area.
