About this property

Celebrate the holidays! Close to downtown&wineries

Welcome to The Nest at Long Lake, a Traverse City Nest Collection property. The Nest is a modern, coastal farmhouse with beautiful country-side views. This home is full of character and has been updated for today’s modern amenities. Come home to 5 bedrooms, a well-stocked kitchen, and spacious living areas. The Nest is the perfect home-away-from-home, with an amazing central location to enjoy everything the area has to offer. Just 3 minutes to the beach or to put your boat in the water at the Long Lake boat launch, 10 min to downtown Traverse CIty and the TART Trail, and 25 minutes to Sleeping Bear Dunes. Plenty of nearby options for skiing, sledding and show shoeing.

This stylish, coastal farmhouse has been recently renovated and furnished with new appliances, furniture and amenities. One step leads you to the main entrance of this spacious, open concept two-level home, where you enter into the bright and roomy living room. Fully stocked kitchen leads you into the heart of the house into the dining room, where its dining table comfortably seats up to 8 guests. The main floor also offers a large living room with a fireplace and beautiful natural light, a multi-purpose 5th bedroom/den, a half bathroom, and a laundry room with a washer/dryer. The second level has 4 bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms. A private chef is available if you want a personalized dinner for your group. Reach us for more information.

Bedroom 2 has a second king bed with plenty of closet space.

The den serves double duty as a 5th bedroom or a dedicated work space. Tucked in a corner close to the living room on the main level, the den is convenient yet private. It offers a Queen sleeper sofa and a roomy table with chairs and window bench. This room is perfect for someone who prefers not to take the stairs and is the perfect dedicated work space for pesty Zoom calls.

Seating for three is available at the peninsula counter.

Gather your party of 8 around the roomy dining room table, with extra seating at the peninsula counter. As the heart of the home, it's where laughter echoes and bonds are strengthened. Linger a while and savor every moment, for these are the memories that fill our hearts and nourish our souls.

Convenient location, fine stay
The house is in a good location for adventures in Glen Arbor and Traverse City. It was great to have so many towels and everything was clean (agree with other reviewer that more hooks would be helpful in the bathroom). Communication was excellent; very responsive.

Family getaway
Stay was comfortable and in a nice area, however the kitchen could be better stocked with things for those that cook and bake more. A small stool could be useful in the upstairs, hallway bathroom as well as towel hooks. Would recommend

Best rental ever!
We were an extended family staying the weekend at this gorgeous rental! The home’s styling was stunning! Every detail was perfect; the hosts thought of everything! I had an easy check in/out, and when we had questions, the hosts were very responsive. We loved it, and hope to come back and stay again!
