The Breakaway on Long Lake - Game Room + Bunkie + Covered Patio
Welcome to The Breakaway, our private lakefront cottage on Long Lake and our little slice of Northern Michigan with 100 feet of frontage and room for up to 11 guests. Newly updated and refreshed, the property sleeps 7 in the main cottage plus up to an additional 4 guests in our separate climate-controlled bunk house (“Bunkie”) that is located within our game room building, approximately 50 feet from the main house.
Start your morning with coffee by the water and the sound of the loons while watching the sunrise. Swim, fish from the dock or our fishing kayaks, take a turn on a stand-up paddleboard, or play lawn games. In the evenings, hang out around the fire table on the covered patio or play foosball, mini pool, or air hockey in the game room. End the evening with s’mores at our lakeside firepit under the stars.
Inside, you will feel right at home with an open living area and dining table perfect for family meals, games, or late-night card tournaments after a day on the lake. The cottage has everything you need for your stay, including a fully stocked kitchen, A/C, Wi-Fi, Roku TVs in each bedroom, board games, playing cards, a washer and dryer, two full bathrooms, and cozy bedrooms for winding down at the end of the day.
