Newly Built Waterfront home w/amazing views!

Summary:
575 acre all-sports lake or wetland views from nearly every room in the home. You won't find another place that offers the ability for your group to swim, nature or bird watch, catch frogs or turtles, swim, fish or relax together, like this home. We've set up the space so even if there's rain in the forecast, you'll have something to enjoy inside of the home. We're located 12 mins from downtown Kalamazoo, 5 mins from I-94 and halfway between Detroit and Chicago. Swim in our 575 acre lake or explore the abundant nature of our 1 acre wetland. Beach is open

The Space:
50' of private Lake frontage accessed directly across road. With 4 bedrooms, 6 beds and 2 air mattresses, there's plenty of room for relaxing. Each room has its own theme and offers views of the lake for that perfect sunset view every night. The upstairs bathroom is the larger of the 2 full bathrooms and offers a towel warmer with a separate water closet to allow for others to get ready to go out or prepare for bed. The main floor is a true open concept that allows not only the fresh air to easily flow through the home but allows your group this same luxury. We've added a large 35' long deck off the back of the home that stretches the entire length of the home. From the deck you'll be able to enjoy your group relaxing by the firepit or grab a chair and watch the large variety of birds, frogs, turtles, ducks and more. For those needing to get work done, we've added a separate home office with printer, desk, scanner, and other office essentials. Here, you can truly Work and Play! Driving an electric vehicle..? We have a level 2, 50 amp car charging station on the driveway side of the home for convenient charging.

We've tried to solve all of the challenges plaguing lake cottages...

1) They're typically really small in size. Our home is over 1700 sq ft and designed for groups to enjoy both indoor and outdoor living.
2) Parking - We offer comfortable parking for up to 10 vehicles.
3) Cold/Hot spots when heating and cooling - We built our home with 2x6 exterior walls, r-60 attic insulation, low e windows and a well designed, high efficiency hvac system to ensure when you want it warm in the winter or cool in the summer, that's exactly what you get.
4) Water Systems - We installed a brand new well water system as well as an on demand hot water system. That means unlimited hot water for showers!

Guest Access:
Guest will receive access code 3 days before check-in

The Neighborhood:
Lake front community just south of the City of Kalamazoo in Portage, MI.

Getting Around:
Car or Ride Share (Uber, Lyft)

Other Things to Note:
10 off street parking spots.

Interaction with Guests:
We are happy to answer any questions you may have. We're only a text, call or email away. You will have complete privacy but we're close by if an emergency arises.

Family Get together
We stayed here as part of a family get together with 5 adults and twin 18 month olds staying here and 4 adults and 4 kids under 4 staying at our daughters house in Portage. This was a great stop for everyone to meet and begin our family vacation in Upper Michigan. The house was as represented in the photo’s, super clean and had better views than the photos. We only wish we could have enjoyed Long Lake more. We would definitely recommend.

Annual family trip
We do an annual trip with 6 adults and 2 kids, there was plenty of space, a bunch of things to keep every age group busy. If you forgot something chances are this place will have it stocked for you. Hosts were attentive and quick to respond. The only issue is the street but overall it was a small inconvenience for a beautiful beach area.

Beautiful new home on a quiet lake
Beautiful home with all the extras; Loved quiet Long Lake, great sandy beach for swimming & Kayaking & the pontoon rides where we could set anchor and swim. Loved the table and chairs by the lake where we could eat, play games, etc. Very clean, well equipped. Only drawback was busy road separating home from lake access. Need to provide a small fan in upstairs bedrooms. Our family loved it and had a great time.

Perfect place to stay
The house and property were fantastic. Even better was the property owners. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was amazing. A bad storm came through in the am and knocked out electric and broke all the canopies. In no time flat the owners had a generator hooked up and new canopies up and everything was back to normal. Can’t thank them enough for the hospitality and making our vacation amazing.

Nice place
Nice clean place with lots of small amenities that I didn’t expect. Be careful walking around in the water. There are lots of sharp sticks and had 2 different people slice their foot open. The road between the house and beach is a little busier than I had expected, and I would be a little more cautious if I had little kids with me. Overall a nice stay though, and would consider repeating.

Great experience
I somehow feel that 5 star rating is less for this property. Location is really great. Lake and beach are just opposite to house and they have everything that is needed for kids and adults ( floaties, kayaks etc). I can easily say this is one of best vacation. We got referral for jet ski and rented it for one day. Kids were not ready to leave the house when we were done, that much fun they had during the stay. Even inside house is so clean and have games for kids( helped when it was raining outside) . Overall we will never forget this experience and we will book again for sure.

Great stay
Everything in the house was new and in working order. Thank you for thinking of everything we would want in a home away from home including all the common appliances and utensils. Was great to have plenty of extra dinnerware, towels & life jackets. Dock worked great with our boat and the sandy beach was nice.

My crew and I had a rather sizable cabling job in Kalamazoo. After a long days' worth of work, it was a pleasure to come back and unwind at the home. (Very Relaxing) All accommodations expected were met and beyond. Very pleased with the stay, and hope to return in the future for phase 2 of our project.

Family Time
This was a a great house for our family to stay in while we were in the area to go to the Air Zoo. There were 6 adults and 8 children in our group, and the house fit us well. The kids enjoyed the two arcade games upstairs, as well as the assortment of board games. The kitchen/dining /living room has an open floor plan, which was great for us. The house was clean and decorated nicely. We enjoyed the view of the lake. The owner was prompt in replying when we had a question. Overall, we had a great time and would stay here again!
