About this property

Halcyon House - 5 BR/3 BA House - Traverse City, Michigan

Long Lake Township Short-Term Rentals Certificate # STR22-00023

Halcyon House is a unique property ideally suited for a superb vacation at a fantastic value. The location is wonderful and everything you would like to do is within reach. Swimming is across the street, the boat launch is 1/2-mile down the road, and tennis is 1/2 mile the other way at the Long Lake Township Park. Moomers - voted the nation's best ice cream shop in 2008 by the viewers of ABC's Good Morning America - is just 2 miles away.

Downtown Traverse City with it's excellent restaurants, brew pubs, beaches, and festivals is 6 miles east and the wonderful performances at Interlochen Center for the Arts are just 8 miles south. Within 20 miles of Halcyon House are 19 champion golf courses, 25 wineries, 2 casinos, Crystal Mountain Resort & Spa (Ski Magazine's #1 Resort in the Midwest for 2005), and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

While the location is fantastic, Halcyon House provides everything you need to make your vacation unforgettable. At over 3000 square feet, there's room to relax and play. This 5 bedroom home has one king and two queen beds with pillow-top mattresses for a luxurious night's sleep. In addition, one bedroom has two twin beds and the 5th bedroom/library has a queen futon. The large, full service kitchen has bamboo flooring, a gas range, full-size refrigerator and is well-stocked - just bring the food and coffee. There's cable television with HBO and Showtime, surround sound, DVD player with streaming capability, stereo system and wireless cable internet. We supply all linens, and two washers & dryers for your convenience. One vehicle may be parked in the attached garage (although it's a tight fit with the kayaks), and there's plenty of parking for additional cars.

If you have never been to Traverse City, you're in for a real treat, and with the 2,860-acre, all-sports Long Lake across the street, Halcyon House is the perfect place to enjoy it all.

Spacious House close to lake.

Family Birthday Celebration
The Halcyon House is a great place to stay near Traverse City, the Mission Peninsula, and the Leelanau Peninsula. It is situated across the street from a lakeside park. The house is roomy with lots of conveniences. We cooked meals, played games and enjoyed our family's birthday celebration.

Fantastic experience
This was it a great house and a lovely location with easy access to all the sites around. The house was spacious and comfortable with lots of room for sleeping, eating and relaxation. It is across the street from a beautiful lake and they supplied kayaks for us as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better getaway location.

Why they chose this property

Quite frankly, we were a bit disappointed when we first moved to Michigan from Anchorage, AK. Our active lifestyle in Alaska, became difficult to maintain when we no longer had the mountains to climb or the miles of groomed ski trails to traverse. An anniversary trip to Traverse City (without the children) changed our minds about Michigan and we began looking for vacation rental property. It took us about 7 months, but we believe we found the perfect place.
