Little Traverse Lake fishing vacation rentals

We just returned from our family Thanksgiving trip at this beautiful house and left with the most amazing memories. The location was beautiful and we could not get enough of the view. The house was beautiful, clean, and even had everything we needed to host a large thanksgiving dinner. We were literally treated like family and were offered an early check in so we could get our thanksgiving dinner going, and even were offered a late check out. I could not say enough great things about our stay here.

Everything went smoothly from check in to check out. Nick answered questions quickly. The listing of Bear Lake Bliss (pictures, description) is exactly how it is. The house was spotless and stocked with everything that was needed. Our family had a great Thanksgiving.

We loved staying at this house! It was gorgeous for a little fall getaway, and even warm enough that we were able to take kayaks onto the lake! Check in was super easy, and the house had everything we needed. Kate was very helpful for any questions we had and gave us some great recommendations. Such a cute place in a great location for lots of the local tourism as well!

My wife and I had a few days off for a fall break. Dennis' place was a perfect spot. The drive there and the surrounding woods were vibrant with color. The place was comfortable, well-suited for a short or long stay, and was stocked with plenty to do. The short path to the lake is great, and the dock provides a lovely view. We spent hours just sitting on the dock chairs reading. We were fortunate to have beautiful sunny days. We took the short drive into Traverse City to go to Trattoria Stella, one of our very favorite restaurants. We also took a short hike out back to connect to the Mt Minnie trail and thoroughly enjoyed that hike. Being minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes, Empire, and Franfort was a perfect location. Our last evening, we went 15 minutes to Peterson Beach and watched the sun set and stayed to watch all the stars emerge in the darkness. It was amazing! We didn't, but we could have built a fire there on the beach.. We hope to return. Thanks Dennis!

This was an incredible experience. Brenden helped me out when I was in a panic about where to stay after a previous reservation had fallen through. Very easy to communicate with and was very accommodating. The property was beautiful and house was clean. Garage was spacious and rooms were perfect for guests we had. The only bummer was the rain all weekend to not enjoy the outdoors/lake but the company was good! Would highly recommend not only this property but Brenden as a host!

This place was great!! Long Lake is beautiful, clean, and warm. We had a ton of fun swimming and using the kayaks and paddleboards provided. Life jackets available to use as well. It's a super close drive to Traverse City, and not terribly far from sleeping Bear Dunes, making it a really great location. The full sizeds were comfortable enough, but a little tight. The bedrooms were roomy. There is only one air conditioning unit in the main living space, not in the bedrooms. But we were provided with multiple fans which helped. The road is busy, which is ok, but made opening the window at night for cool air isn't really an option with car noise. The kitchen was fantastic. All the needed utensils and cookware and huge bonus of providing Tupperware to store leftovers which was a great added touch. Hosts were also very responsive and flexible with check in, which was very appreciated. Overall, had a fantastic time exploring the area and so nice having a homey and beautiful place to stay!

Such a cute little cottage and perfect for our girls getaway. We will consider coming back in the future. It’s pretty unassuming when you drive up, but the inside of the house is so cute. We also couldn’t figure out how to turn on the gas fireplace, but that wasn’t a huge deal! Definitely recommend.

Our stay was great. The views to the lake were amazing. The location was a short drive to restaurants, shops, etc. We went during an awkwardly season so we couldn’t swim or enjoy the fire pit or outdoor spaces other than the hot tub. The hot tub was clean and well maintained and overlooked the lake. The view from the dining room during sunny, snowy and rainy days was great! Our stay was peaceful, which is what we primarily came for.

The lake house was exactly as described and looked just like the photos. Plenty of space for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked. Lots of blankets and pillows. The lake was beautiful and the kayaks were really nice to have. Would definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was beautiful.

The house was very well furnished, yard was perfect for a nightly bonfire with friends and family. Close enough to town where you could easily get groceries, fuel, or simple go out to eat with no worry about it being a long drive. The house was located perfectly around multiple trailheads for ORV riding (within 20 mins). The only thing that I can say that was a downside to the rental was the amount of kitchenware. For a cabin that sleeps 10, there were limited plates, bowls, mixing bowls, and utensils.

If your looking for peace and quiet, this is the place. Beautiful scenery and wild life.

I have stayed with Lizzie 3 times for ski trips to Crystal Mountain and every experience has been great. ilI look forward to staying again in the future!

The host was so friendly, the views were beyond stunning. And I found a petoskey!! I wish I had never left!

Had a girls weekend here; we enjoyed our stay fully! Excellent communication, easy to find. Master bedroom is big and has beautiful views. Beds are comfy- extra blankets which was great. Loved the roomy fridge. The porch overlooks the water and is nice. Close to beautiful trails in Arcadia for hiking and not far from Manistee. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This was everything we were looking for for a winter getaway. Thanks Alex!

We had a great stay here! Location is convenient and beautiful and apartment was clean and comfortable. Price was extremely reasonable the hosts were accommodating and very quick to respond. Highly recommend!

Very relaxing weekend on the various lakes in the area , The cabin was perfect , will definitely be back .

Close to Crystal, and exactly as advertised. A perfect place for a couple families that want to ski or golf.

My family and I really enjoyed Brian’s place. There was plenty of room for all our ski gear and only 3 mins to the mountain. Having access to the Schuss hot tub was a bonus. There are plenty of board games available and the internet worked well. This has been one of our favorite Airbnbs during the ski season.

Everything was exactly what we wanted.

We enjoyed our stay so much! The house is private and beautiful, surrounded by woods. We loved exploring the area with so many things to see and do. Our favorite thing was the shared private beach just minutes away and the perfect spot to watch the amazing sunsets. The house is so nice and comfortable and the cozy beds were a hit! We can’t wait to come back!

Great location with a super host. Only small issues — no freezer for the ice pad we need for a knee issue and, the bed, though comfortable is insanely high — even with a step stool was tough for my five foot wife to get in and out of. Super thick mattress plus a couple inch topper. Incredibly well stocked and super clean. Parking was a breeze and the front deck was a real nice bonus. Wonderful experience.

The view from this home is unmatched. Upon walking in, the home is welcoming and pristine, and I particularly loved the vinyl collection. The host is not only responsive, but also accommodating and proactive. We will be back soon!
