Cozy, remodeled 1940’s lake cottage 40 minutes from Grand Rapids.

**Closed till spring**. Unwind at this cozy, 840sqft self catering rustic lake cottage 40 minutes from Grand Rapids, on the north side of Long Lake in northern Ionia County. Great location for fall color touring and close to Flat River State Game Area. Perfect size for up to two couples or a small family. Enjoy a romantic getaway or a relaxing family vacation at this peaceful, quiet location. Bedding and towels are provided.
The cottage is at the top of a natural, grassy bluff and there are approximately 20 steps down to the lake where the boat shed, fire pit and dock are. The area by the lake is grassy.
We have 2 kayaks and life jackets in the boat shed available for your use at no additional cost.

The Cottage:
Bedroom #1 has a queen size bed with an armoir, wall hooks and a bench for your clothing and luggage.

Bedroom #2 has a full size bed, a twin bed, wall hooks and small closet.

*Roku tv in the living room
*wifi available; 100mbps

The enclosed sun porch has a record player with assorted vintage albums you are welcome to enjoy.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a full sized refrigerator, electric stove/oven, microwave, toaster, drip coffee maker and coffee bean grinder, and slow cooker.

There is a charcoal grill on the back deck for your use. Long Lake Party Store on the south side of the lake carries charcoal, snacks, beer, wine, liquor, and a selection of hot carry out food including made to order pizza.

There’s a furnace, space heaters and an assortment of board and card games available for the occasional chilly or rainy summer day.

🐾Dog Friendly🐾
We allow up to two dogs of any size with no additional charge. We kindly request that dogs be licensed in your home county and utd on all vaccines. Coyote sightings are not an every day occurrence but nor are they uncommon, so for the safety of your pets and courtesy to the neighbors, dogs must be on a leash or tie out at all times while outside, and not left unattended.

🐾We kindly request that dogs be crated if left alone in the cottage. Dog waste should be picked up promptly and disposed of either in bags in the outside trash receptacle or emptied into the compost bin.

🐾We have lots of extra ‘dog towels’ for drying them off after a romp in the lake, but if they sleep in bed with you or like to nap on the couch, please bring an appropriate sheet or blanket to protect the bedding and upholstery.

**There are two outdoor Security cameras to monitor shed and road access.

Long Lake is a 357 acre all sports lake.
There’s a large, easily accessible boat launch on the south side of the lake next to Long Lake Party Store.

The cottage and it’s lakefront are close to ‘the cove’ a no wake area of the lake protected from the wind and usual ebb & flow from motor craft and is abundant with wildlife. Excellent for fishing.

The area:
Greenville is a 15-20 minute drive and Belding, home to Gus Macker, is about a 10 minute drive. Both towns have grocery stores, antique and resale shops, restaurants, bars, breweries and coffee shops.

You will be impressed!
To begin with I was impressed with Meagan the property manager. She was friendly, very informative, and extremely responsive when a question was submitted. The unit was very accommodating. Amenities were abundant as we lacked nothing that we needed. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was very well equipped, and main house was nicely situated. This unit satisfied all of our needs.

Cozy and Quiet
We needed a home base for the weekend while attending a family wedding and the hotels in the area were less than desireable. This cottage, while a bit further from town than we expected, was perfect. Very relaxing atmosphere and the decor was cute. We loved ir!

The best rental we have every stayed at!
Wow! What a wonderful stay! This little cozy cottage was amazing. My 2 sisters and I arrived in the dark to a lit up warm and perfect place to stay for our 4 nights. The host had turned on all the lights, and even left us some yummy goodies to munch on. We have never been to a rental that had so much. Everything you would ever need was supplied. Great instructions in a book on how to work everything, and helpful things about area also. The sunroom was our happy place, as we spent hours in it looking out at the lake. Views were amazing! Loved the games in the cottage, and how cozy the place is decorated. Host was so friendly, and communicated several times, once just to check on us to see if we were warm enough, as the temps had dropped. I highly recommend this little gem of a place to stay on Long Lake! I wish all of the rentals I stay in were managed by this host, she is the best!!

The Perfect Host!
Meagan has all of the right skills to be a perfect vacation host! Detailed, organized and thoughtful beyond belief! She left a lovely note regarding my recently departed dog and some local goodies! She was immediate to respond and even checked in during my stay to make sure all was well. Great lake property and some nice neighbors. Thanks Meagan for all you did to make my stay perfect!

Perfect Aesthetic
Our weekend stay could not have been better. We loved the location, the cozy house with all of its furnishings and decorations. Meagan is thoughtful, helpful and dedicated to making sure her visitors are comfortable and happy. Everything we needed was supplied for our cooking needs and we cooked several things. Even the beds and pillows were superb! We used the kayaks and fished in the awesome, clean lake and the water was refreshing. We saw beautiful wildlife ( fish , turtles on land and in the water, deer, mongoose, a baby raccoon, swans, blue heron and other birds) and listened to a great collection of vinyls in the cottage. We were four adults on a long weekend get away and would absolutely go there again!! Loved it!
