Lovely Place on the Water
The property is beautiful. There is an expansive yard right on the water with a small beach. It is cozy place with two bedrooms on separate floors. Each bedroom has a bath (one full; one powder room). The kitchen is well-appointed. The furnishings are modern and new.

Not clean
I showed up around 11pm to the property on the first night, the porch lights were on which was inviting, however approaching the front door, the lock box was open with the key just set inside of it, less than ideal and raised some suspicion. Got settled inside and found crumbs, dust and hair all over the property as it looked like it had a very superficial cleaning and nothing more. For the rate of the property it was comparable to local hotels, which I ended up staying in due to the cleanliness of the place. I left that first night and had not been back. I was hoping it would be nice as I would be back in a few weeks for a family funeral and was going to stay again but was rather disappointed in the property.

Loved location!
Loved it, 2 problems though took away from the whole of the experience. The water from the sinks stank , no matter what we tried it stank. Shower, kitchen, bathrooms it smelled bad. The refrigerator gasket had mold all over, i got there first saw it and cleaned it before anyone else showed up. Other than that the location, the contact person, the house and furnishings were good. We absolutely loved the windows facing due east watching the sunrise over the lake each morning. The wildlife, the sounds, the quick access to everywhere.

Weekend getaway
The house was clean and could easily fit 4 people comfortably. A little beach area was nicely setup so you can get into the lake the only downside was the cane in front of the property obstructing the view of the lake. The manager was extremly nice and responded to messages in a timely manner. We had a good time.

Lake house
We didn't know the kitchen was downstairs, the seating was very limited. Only 4 chairs in the eating area. I know this is a dog friendly house, but, I do not expect to find dog hair everywhere with such a high cleaning fee. The house was remodeled very nice. The owner was very quick to take care of our issues. The beach area and yard were awesome.

Long Lake Cabin Review
We had a great time at this cabin. The place was clean and just as pictured. We communicated with the property manager as I had some questions when arriving and he was prompt to get back to me. Our only regret was not booking to stay longer. Joel

Sweetest Little Gem
I wanted to find a place to stay that was near the water, quiet and stress-free. This cottage certainly did not disappoint and fulfilled my wish list by far. No complaints here. I would love to make this a favorite and put it on my vacation list every year! From the welcome basket, watching the wildlife to all the little details, Tom did an excellent job making sure we had a comfortable stay. Kudos!

Nice location
We like the location, the yard, and the dock. The dock was good for fishing and easy to get in and out of our kayaks. Unfortunately the indoor furniture was very uncomfortable and seating was limited. There is a strong odor when we entered the house.

Nice property on the lake
We really enjoyed our stay on Long Lake. We loved the back patio overlooking the lake, the nice yard, and good location to walk the dog in various directions. Great for nature lovers and bird watchers! Central to everything we wanted to do in Kalamazoo or Portage. The property manager was very responsive to any questions or requests we had. Comfortable beds and furniture. Be aware that the steps to the lower level are quite narrow and steep if you have any physical limitations, but we had no problem with them. We would definitely stay there again!

Lakeside retreat
The house was very accommodating. It was clean and comfortable. There were nice towels and toilet paper (not the thin stuff). We found the steps to be a little steep but we all are in our 60's! We enjoyed the lake, the peacefulness of the neighborhood (School was still in session), the kayaks, cornhole, bullfrogs, and other wildlife that was there. We watched turtles digging holes to lay their eggs. Unfortunately the ones in the sand were dug up by something and destroyed overnight. The only thing I would mention is that the front porch had more dog hair on the furniture than we would have expected and when we moved the seats around for better visiting we knew the furniture hadn't been moved to sweep underneath in a while. All in all it is a great place to vacation. Kalamazoo has much to offer and this house is just minutes away from just about anything you would want or need. Thank you Tom!

Adorable Lake cottage
Such a lovely little home on the lake. Perfect for those who want a relaxing, quiet get away to a pretty lake . We were visiting family in Kalamazoo and really enjoyed staying here. Close to everything but in such a quiet neighborhood. So nice! For those with mobility concerns, please note their are somewhat steep steps down to the kitchen and the bathroom with shower is also located downstairs. Our kids loved the big backyard, the beach and playing Cornhole and going out in the canoe and the kayaks provided by the homeowners for use while we were there. Thank you so Much for sharing your lovely lake house with our family! We can’t wait to Come back!

We enjoyed our stay! It felt like we were at home the whole time. Only problem we had was something that you have no control over -- the WEATHER!! Next time we are in the Kalamazoo area we plan to stay there if the unit is available.
