The property is extremely secluded. It sits up on a bluff above Long Lake. It is quite a ways down from the cabin to the lake on a steep decline and then stairs down to the lake dock. There was no furniture to sit on once you got down to the dock.The lake is barely visible from the windows of the cabin. The heavy tree canopy blocks the view of the lake, almost completely. This does not feel at all like waterfront property as described in the listing. Other than a small elevated deck, there is no outside space to sit or relax on this property, it’s all heavily wooded and extremely shaded. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, silverware, dishes, etc.The main floor bathroom was nicely remodeled. The couches in the TV room and the main grate room need to have cushions re-stuffed as they have worn pretty thin and they’re not very comfortable. Timbers Recreation Area is a a nice mile walk out the front door on a secluded dirt road to the recreation area entrance. It then has many long or short distance trails to enjoy.Tim, the owner, provided very helpful information on things to do and area attractions which was greatly appreciated and he was always very responsive. Cabin is less than 15 minutes from downtown Traverse City, which offers a lot of choices for shopping and dining. In summary if you would enjoy a secluded forest retreat this would be a place to investigate further.
