πŸŒ… Lakefront Sunset Retreat | Private Dock & Hot Tub ➠ 843N

THE TRUE NORTH presents… Lakefront Sunset Retreat | Private Dock & Hot Tub ➠ 843N

Some lake houses have a view. This one has the whole experience.

Set directly on Long Lake — one of Northern Michigan's most beloved all-sports lakes — this renovated three-bedroom retreat gives your group private dock access, a lakeside hot tub, and unobstructed sunset views from the moment you arrive. The sunsets here are the kind people drive hours to see, and you'll be watching them from your own deck with a drink in hand.

Just 10 minutes from downtown Traverse City, 843N sits in a rare sweet spot: secluded enough to feel like a true escape, close enough to enjoy the restaurants, wineries, festivals, and outdoor adventures that make Northern Michigan one of the most sought-after destinations in the Midwest.

Perfect For

  • Families and groups of up to 6
  • Lake getaways built around boating, swimming, and fishing
  • Couples or friends looking for a lakefront retreat near Traverse City
  • Extended stays that mix outdoor adventure with downtown exploration

The Home

3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | Sleeps up to 6

  • Primary bedroom with queen-size bed

  • Third bedroom with twin beds
  • Two full bathrooms
  • Open-concept living and dining area
  • Fully equipped kitchen
  • Smart TVs and high-speed WiFi throughout
  • Full-size washer and dryer

Renovated in 2023, the interior blends the warmth of a classic Northern Michigan lodge with modern updates — stone fireplace, natural wood finishes, and thoughtful touches throughout. The layout keeps everyone connected in the main living areas while offering enough space for the group to spread out comfortably.

Life on Long Lake

Long Lake is an all-sports lake, which means the water is yours to use however you want. Swim from the private dock, fish along the shoreline, launch your boat from the property, or simply float out and let the afternoon pass.

When the day winds down, the hot tub becomes the main attraction — warm water, lake views, and a sky full of stars. The decks and outdoor dining areas give the group plenty of room to gather, grill, and enjoy the quieter pace that lakefront living is made for.

Explore Traverse City & Northern Michigan

The location puts you within easy reach of some of the region's best experiences:
