🐾Dog Friendly🐾 We welcome 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.

Meagan is a consummate host! We stayed with our 3 children and 1 dog for a week in late October. We had a wonderful stay. Meagan has thought of every detail to make her guests feel at home at her lake cottage, including toys/games for kids and treats for the dog. We highly recommend this place for small families traveling with pets.
The cottage was well appointed, fully stocked, very clean. The surrounding area was very nice and inviting. We had a very enjoyable time, and already looking forward to our next booking, Meagan is the ultimate host THANKS!!
As stated, this was an easy entry, well kept, very clean, and overall great place to stay. Meagan was phenomenal with interaction and detailed with her local information. We felt very welcomed!
Meagan and the house were awesome. She was super communicative and helpful. The house and amenities were amazing. It was stocked and had everything we needed to enjoy our time. We would definitely stay again.
The cottage is adorable and perfect for my family of four. It was quiet and relaxing just what we needed before school started. The place had everything you could need and more. The lake was great for swimming and we enjoyed bonfires by the lake. Megan was great with communicating everything. We loved the stay! Five stars!!!
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!
My husband and I spent over 30 years on this lake and returned there to visit family. Megan‘s spot on the hill was charming and peaceful. It was beautifully decorated and renovated. We hated to leave and look forward to returning to this very special place .Megan was a terrific host!
Megan made it perfect.
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!
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.
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!!
What a fantastic cottage. We stayed Monday - Saturday. Located back a private road the cottage had absolutely everything you would need to cook and live comfortably. There are neighbors close but the secluded neighborhood offers lots of privacy. The AC worked great in the main room then plenty of fans to circulate it around. Walk down the steps to the private waterfront area was amazing. The boat shed has a great front porch to relax out of the sun or there are several chairs around a fire pit. Lake was perfect and we swam with the dogs each day. Lake isn’t very deep it starts at a foot and once past the end of the dock is still only 3ft or so. You could swim out a ways and still be less then 6ft. Crystal clear water with plenty of wildlife. We will definitely bookmark this one and look to stay again in the future. The cottage is accurately described and met our needs perfectly. 5/5 for us.
Meagan was an awesome host. She thought of every detail to make our stay wonderful. House was well equipped and very comfortable. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake and biking and hiking were close by. We will definitely be back.
Our favorite place to stay. Meagan is the best host I’ve ever delt with using Vrbo. So considerate and thoughtful making sure our time there is the best. We will be back again next year.
We drove from KC and I was so happy when we got to the cottage. It was beautiful! Not only that but the host was just as great. They thought of everything. Excellent stay! I would definitely recommend.
Communication is superb. All the instructions are super helpful, and photos/description of the place is spot on. We really enjoyed being away from city noise. The place is super clean. Plenty of room, perfect for a small family or two couples. Fully stocked kitchen.
The cottage was very peaceful and quiet being near the water. It had everything you could ever need and more. The host went the extra mile to make sure you had the best stay possible.
Absolutely the most charming little cottage!! Our host was so accommodating and kind. There was a welcome gift waiting when we arrived. No little detail was overlooked. We had everything and more for our stay. We will definitely book again!!
Most communicative host ever. Extremely helpful. The place is absolutely charming! It was the most well stocked rental we’ve ever stayed at. They thought of everything! The view is beautiful. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!!
