Welcome to Long Lake Getaway, a cozy 2-bedroom cottage just steps from the water’s edge near Alpena, Michigan. Wake up to lake breezes and watch the sunrise over Long Lake from the comfort of your private yard. Our lake-view retreat is perfect for families and small groups, offering sleeping space for up to six guests in two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath.
Inside, you’ll find a warm and inviting living area where you can curl up with a book or stream your favorite shows on the smart TV in front of the fireplace. Fast Wi‑Fi and a dedicated workspace make it easy to check in with the office if you need to. The fully equipped kitchen features a gas range, oven, Keurig coffee maker, Nespresso espresso maker, microwave, and full-size refrigerator, plus cookware and utensils so you can prepare meals just the way you like them. A washer and dryer, bed linens and extra pillows are provided for your convenience.
After a day on the lake, soak in the private hot tub, gather around the fire pit for s’mores and stories, or enjoy outdoor dining on the patio. A grassy backyard, beach towels and toys, and free parking make your stay hassle-free. Being pet-friendly, we welcome well-behaved dogs — our four ‑ legged guests love exploring the shoreline and curling up by the hearth. With lake access across the road and a boat launch half a block away, Long Lake Getway is the perfect lakeside escape any time of year.
Long Lake Getaway combines the charm of a classic cottage with modern comforts. Unwind in the year‑round private hot tub as you watch the stars appear over the water or toast marshmallows by the fire pit. Outdoor amenities include a gas BBQ grill, picnic table, lounge seating and a spacious lawn — there’s even a stash of beach essentials like towels and a blanket for your day at the shore.
Inside, thoughtful touches abound: board games and books for rainy days, fast Wi‑Fi and a work desk for remote work, and an indoor fireplace and central heating that keep the cottage cozy in cooler months. This single‑story retreat also features a fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, and pet-friendly flooring so the whole family can relax together. Long stays are welcome; you’ll find everything needed to feel at home.
With Long Lake just across the street, water adventures are at your doorstep. Spend your days fishing, swimming or kayaking on the lake; launch your boat half a block away, or explore the nearby Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary where glass‑bottom boat tours reveal historic shipwrecks. Paddleboarding and kayaking on Lake Huron offer stunning views of the shoreline, and Presque Isle’s historic lighthouses reward you with panoramic vistas when you climb the towers.
In summer, head to Rockport State Recreation Area — a designated dark sky preserve — to hike trails and stargaze, or visit Lee’s Miniature Golf, Michigan’s oldest continuously run mini golf course. Island Park & the Thunder Bay River Center host nature‑based kids’ programs, while downtown Alpena’s murals and art walks showcase the local creative scene. For budding artists, Art in the Loft offers workshops, and the Thunder Bay Theatre hosts camps and performances for all ages.
When snow falls, the adventure continues. Cross‑country ski or snowshoe the groomed trails at Chippewa Hills, Norway Ridge and Rockport State Park; ice fish on Long Lake, Grand Lake and Hubbard Lake; or hop on a snowmobile to ride the N.E.S.T. trails. Outdoor skating is available at Bay View Park, and Thunder Bay Resort in Hillman offers magical horse‑drawn sleigh rides and elk viewing. Nearby indoor attractions include the Besser Museum for Northeast Michigan, the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center, and cozy art workshops — there’s plenty to do no matter the season.
After a day of exploring, return to your cottage to soak in the hot tub and watch the stars. From water sports and beaches to hiking trails, cultural attractions and winter festivities, Green Acres on Long Lake places you at the heart of all the Sunrise Coast has to offer.

We had an amazing week at Green Acres. The cottage is cozy, well-equipped, and the hot tub by the lake was a highlight. Our kids loved kayaking and exploring the nearby lighthouses. Highly recommend! - Sarah J.
Our family reunion at Green Acres was fantastic. Deborah's hospitality made us feel welcome and the property exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely return. - Mark and Lisa C.
We visited Green Acres for a winter getaway and were delighted by the warm cabin and stunning snowy lake views. The cross-country trails and nearby museums kept us busy during the day, and the evening fireside chats were priceless. - Rachel T.
