"The Royal" is available for New Years - FREE champagne! in Traverse City

This exceptional $1.5 million dollar home that is located on Long Lake. Long Lake is the most popular lake in this area, for 2 reasons. The first reason is the water temperature and beaches (warm and sandy). Whereas the other lakes have become mucky or very shallow (for 100-200 feet) due to the loss in recent water levels over the past several years. Long Lake is also a large lake with
islands, and large enough for all types of watercraft and fabulous fishing; whereas smaller lakes can only accommodate paddle boats or fishing boats due to the lake noise level while operating.  If you waterski you're in luck!!  There is a professional waterski course on Long Lake as well.  The second reason for the high demand for Long Lake is that it's the closest lake to Traverse City.  Approximately 5 minutes away. Expensive real estate for this area, and high demand.

This popular home has a pontoon onsite and available for rent, (fuel/oil are additional costs), so you may enjoy all of the sites that Long Lake has to offer.  The home also features an indoor sauna/spa as well as an outdoor hot tub (that is private) to relax and enjoy the views.  Other features of the home include TWO master suites, a home surround sound system, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, flat screnn TV, internet access, a computer in the home and fantastic gardens.

This quality home housed the Royal Family from the United Kingdom last summer for two weeks in July!

Come and enjoy quality comfort!

This home rents on a weekly basis from Saturday - Saturday during prime summer weeks.
