The Triple L -The Long Lake Life-

The Triple L (The Long Lake Life) is located on beautiful Long Lake only 15 minutes from Traverse City and 4 minutes from Moomer’s Homemade Ice cream, voted America’s best ice cream parlor by Good Morning America. The Triple L’s lakefront has a large shallow area safe for fun water activities and an expansive dock for your boat. The dockside patio is perfect for “chillin’ out”! Long Lake, the Traverse area’s cleanest and warmest lake has five islands to explore. A day spent on this gorgeous lake is priceless.

There are two bedrooms and a bedroom loft area that includes a Sleeper Sofa, Bunk Beds and a Futon. Amenities include a full kitchen, WiFi, 50” flat screen, and both a gas and charcoal grill. The Chiminea on the upper terrace is perfect for winding down after a day on the lake. The upper terrace is also a great spot for morning coffee or grilling up dinner with a dynamite view of the lake. The house has ample parking in the front and back. The attached garage is available to store any extra items. The Triple L is only one-half mile away from the public boat launch.

Had a great time

It was the first time in 25 years we made it back up north, and this was a fantastic stop for us. The paddle boards were a hit with our grown kids and it was close to the things we wanted to see. Great spot and accommodations were perfect

Excellent stay! Home was extremely clean and well appointed. Felt much more spacious than its physical space. Just far enough away from Traverse City to avoid crowds but close enough to drive into town. Hosts were extremely responsive and helpful.

We had such a great stay. The garage full of water things was more than we expected. Having a washer/dryer and dishwasher was helpful also. The house is bigger than it looks in the pictures. The road is busy, but your 7 year old was able to cross by himself.

Great property. Great renters. Absolutely loved the decor. 15 minute drive to Meijer, Walmart, the mall, thrift stores, and downtown. Located right between both public beaches. The dock was in great shape and had lots of it. The swim dock was nice too. Lots of shallow water to play in for little ones or just floating around and deeper water at the end of the dock for those of us who like to jump right in. They also offered a couple of kayaks and paddle boards to use. This is a cottage you can show up with your clothes, food and some floaty devices and be set for the week. Pots and pans, towels, sheets and even a crockpot are all there for your use. The only downside to this cottage is that you have to cross the road to get to the dock so if you have little kids who like to escape, might not be the best choice but other than that, it’s great and we truly enjoyed our week. Long Lake is the best lake, if you ask me so if you want a Great Lake to swim in, this is it.

Nice shallow water and a little bit of beach.
Have you ever watched the moon rise? This was a view of one, from the dock.

Quick TC weekend trip

We were visiting TC for the fall Autumn Classic soccer tournament so didn't get as much time at the house as we would have liked to enjoy! The house was very clean and accommodating with a beautiful location. We had brought our boat but didn't get quite enough time to enjoy the water. The house was well stocked with toys to enjoy lake life! We would stay again!

Wonderful location

This property was beautiful and in a great spot in Traverse City. It is a short drive to downtown, but remote enough for relaxation! The property is really close to the road, but it did not bother us. The property manager was very nice and helpful! We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect for a long weekend!

We enjoyed our stay at this house…great location and had everything we needed! We especially loved the patio on the deck for sitting and enjoying the lake and sun. We bought a fishing boat with us and the owners were nice enough to let us use their empty boat lift which was awesome. Everything was great and I would recommend this as a great place to stay to enjoy what the area has to offer. I would suggest updating the description to make it clear that the dock will be accessed by the owners as well during your stay, as they keep their boats there and are around often. We had a great long weekend stay here, thank you!

Annual girls trip

We didn’t spend a ton of time at the property because we were busy exploring the area but it had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen well stocked and clean. Also, the paddle boards and kayaks were a huge bonus with the lake directly across the street. We would return to this location.

Great getaway at Long Lake!

Really enjoyed this comfortable retreat on Long Lake! We will definitely be back! House: well stocked kitchen, extra fridge in garage kept all the beer cold, loft was great for the kids, spacious living room with TV and comfy couches. Amenities: the kayaks and stand up paddle boards were great, large selection of life jackets for all sizes, firepit overlooking the lake, newer gas grill worked good, towels and bedding provided, stereo in kitchen and living room kept tunes flowing. Lake: fantastic! Spent several days on the water with the provided kayaks and SUPs, rented a pontoon boat that we were able to tie up on the dock, spent a day on the sandbar, lots of tubing, beautiful sunsets, not too busy, very friendly fellow boaters. Owners: very friendly and responsive, met all our needs. Very nice place!

Beautiful setting for kayaking on Long Lake

The kitchen was very well equipped. We cooked on the grill alot and enjoyed eating on the patio. We roasted marshmallows in the clay chiminea. The best part was the use of the kayaks. We had many times when the water was very calm and took them out. Also, there are life jackets of every size. Nice linens and towels and comfy beds. The owners keep their boats at the docks on the property so they are around a lot if you need anything and are very nice people. There is a spot on the dock for your boat if you bring one or rent one. The road is very busy but it was not an issue crossing to get to the lake. If you are a light sleeper bring earplugs because of the road noise. Overall a great stay.
