About Villa Azul

Escape to Villa Azul on Long Lake – Your Ultimate Lakefront Retreat on Traverse City’s most beautiful inland Lake.

Wake up to breathtaking water views, enjoy a peaceful morning on the deck with a cup of coffee, spend your days exploring the lake and evenings unwinding in the hot tub, in a home designed for relaxation. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a friends’ getaway, or a corporate retreat, Villa Azul offers everything you need to create unforgettable memories.

Villa Azul is a place where you can truly disconnect from the daily grind and focus on what matters most: spending time with the people you care about. From relaxing in the hot tub to playing basketball or simply soaking in the beauty of the lake, you’ll find plenty of ways to unwind and have fun.

At Villa Azul, the lake is right at your doorstep. There are no steep steps to the water, making this a great home for a multigenerational stay. Spend your days lounging on our private sandy beach, take a kayak out for a peaceful paddle, or fish off the private dock. In the evenings, relax in the hot tub, gather around the fire pit for s’mores and stories, or enjoy the stunning sunset views from the expansive deck. When the weather is cooler, enjoy a ping-pong competition in our heated garage. Play VR games in the kids’ room, or have a karaoke night. We now have a game room in our heated garage, with a ping-pong table and a pool table for those fun family playoffs. We’ve designed our home to make your time here effortless and enjoyable, with a focus on both comfort and fun.

Space to Unwind and Connect

Our open and spacious living area features panoramic windows that bring the outdoors in, giving you an unbeatable view of Long Lake. Cozy up around the gas fireplace after a day of outdoor adventure or settle in for a movie night with the family. The fully equipped kitchen boasts modern appliances, perfect for preparing delicious meals to enjoy with family and friends. We do provide basic condiments for you to prepare your meals including olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and some basic spices. We have a Keurig machine, a Nespresso and drip coffee. We even have a dedicated chef’s closet stocked with all the gadgets you could need, including a crockpot, smoothie blender, immersion blender, handheld mixer, and an electric griddle. Kids love our soda maker and our shaved ice machine is a huge hit with our younger guests. Our dining table seats 10–12 people.

The kids’ bedroom is a play haven with a Nex playground video game console, a Meta Quest 2 VR system for immersive gaming, and plenty of board games for everyone to enjoy. We also provide a crib, Pack n Play, high chair, and child-friendly plates and utensils to make your stay as easy and stress-free as possible.

The main level features a king bedroom with a bathroom in the hallway. Upstairs you’ll find one additional king and two queen bedrooms, as well as a kid-friendly room with three pull-out twin beds and a queen daybed.

Guest reviews

Loved by our guests.

Real experiences shared by guests who stayed at Villa Azul.

★★★★★

This was the perfect home for our lake vacation. The host recommended boat rentals and we had the boat delivered right to the dock. It was so easy! Sherie was always responsive and hospitable! Everything was exactly as described. I hate when AirBnbs charge outrageous cleaning fees but then require their guests to do a bunch of cleaning on their last day. This home had minimal cleaning requirements and no sneaky fees/tasks sprung on us. This really was one of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed at. Oh, and all the little details and accommodations (from the coffee bar to the toothbrushes and razors) added the perfect touch. Thank you Sherie!

Amazing host so kind and responds to any questions immediately. We had a little gift basket to welcome us which was so kind.

★★★★★

Great spot for a family trip. We had plenty of room for everyone and plenty of things to keep us entertained, from kids to adults. The house was better than we imagined and had everything we could possibly need, down to extra razors and toothbrushes. Sherie even left us a welcome basket with some great wine and goodies. Would definitely stay here again. 😌

Sherie is a great host, she is very responsive and proactive to ensure your stay is perfect. The house is well stocked with everything that you could need and the game room kept both kids and adults entertained. The hot tub is a nice addition to soak in after a cold plunge in the lake. The absolute best part of the house is the dinning room table that allowed all of our guest to eat and play games together. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience in North Michigan.

My recent stay on long lake was absolutely amazing! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The space was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained—but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the host. They went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcomed and taken care of. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier experience!

Beautiful home beautiful stay. Sherie was an amazing host! We hope to come again! Traverse City was absolutely gorgeous!
KennethLos Angeles, California

★★★★★

Sherie's place was perfect for our weekend celebration of my daughter's birthday. We hosted a group of her friends, and between the hot-tub, heated igloo, fire-pit, pool table, and ping pong, they had a lot to keep them busy and all had a great time. We cooked three large meals while we were there and the big dining room table was perfect for seating our group. Sherie was super responsive, allowed us to check in early, and made sure we had everything we needed. Couldn't have asked for a better stay, we would definitely stay here again.

First family vacation with my adult children and their families and it was wonderful! Beautiful place, fantastic communication with host and everyone was so happy! Best vacation since my childhood were small.
ElizabethDelaware, Ohio

★★★★★

This was a wonderful and relaxing stay for a group of girls up in TC for some wine tasting and fun. Sherie was wonderful in providing recommendations and checking on us to make sure we had everything. The house was easy to find, very clean and had lots of space. Each bedroom was great. Would definitely recommend!!
HeatherMacomb, Michigan

★★★★★

The lake house was very clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. It was well stocked, with multiple coffee options including espresso, and even some thoughtful welcome treats. The clear dome on the deck was a wonderful touch; it was such a fun experience to sit inside while surrounded by snow. There were plenty of entertainment options as well, the pool table, ping pong table, and especially the Nex Playground games were our favorites. The host was very responsive and helpful, and even supported us through the winter storm during our stay. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the Traverse City area.

We had such an amazing stay at Sherie’s cottage on Long Lake. The cottage was absolutely beautiful, spotless, and fully stocked with everything we needed. You could tell a lot of care and thought went into making guests feel comfortable. Sherie was an incredible host—so kind, welcoming, and extremely responsive anytime we had a question. She was also super sweet and accommodating about our dogs staying with us, which meant a lot. We had an overall amazing stay with friends and made such great memories. We would absolutely recommend this cottage and would love to come back again!

Gorgeous lake house, exceptionally well thought out amenities. Sherie was proactive and above and beyond with any questions we had. We'll be back and I'd reccomend anything Sherie's involved with.
KellyMichigan, United States

★★★★★

We had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful home. Our mornings began with coffee and stunning views of the lake—serene, calming, and just what we needed. The house itself is immaculate, thoughtfully updated, and incredibly well cared for. Every detail, from the cozy furnishings to the well-stocked amenities, reflected a sense of warmth and hospitality. It’s clear the hosts put genuine care into creating a space that feels like a retreat. We’re already looking forward to returning in the summer—it’s the kind of place that stays with you.

★★★★★

We couldn’t ask for a better host in Sherie! She always responded to our questions and was very accommodating! The house was exactly as described. We used it for a family vacation and took full advantage of the kayaks, basketball hoop, fire pit, hot tub, etc. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with very thoughtful items to make our stay very comfortable. The location on Long Lake was very quiet and peaceful but a close enough drive to Traverse City to enjoy all that it has to offer. We would definitely book with Sherie again and have already recommended the house to our friends.

Great host, amazing place to stay for multiple people, 20-30 minutes away from Traverse City and all the highlights around TC (Sutton's Bay, Leland, Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear, Empire, etc). Long Lake is clean, fairly quiet for a large lake, swimmable, and lots of beach/water activities at the house to do. Fire pit was a staple for our stay. Would definitely recommend for a large group of adults with kids and we will be staying here again in the future.
ChristopherRoyal Oak, Michigan

★★★★★

We had an amazing stay. Beautiful home which is very well stocked with amenities, it had everything we needed for our getaway weekend. The lake views with our morning coffee on the deck was breathtaking. We will be back for sure!
