The Shilliday House is located in the heart of this cute, small lake town. Walk right across the street to everything you need, or just down the street. Even have lake access down the street. The coffee shop, grocery, ice cream shop, brewery, and Stone Oven are great spots! Absolutely loved the accessibility and atmosphere. House was great for our group, use of garage was nice, fire pit area seated everyone. Porch was the hangout for us. The record player was a hit for our family. Chris was super helpful and knew the area well. Quick drive to dunes, Long Lake, or Traverse. ##### Carrie A.

It was clean and well-appointed. The location also worked well: Lake Ann is a great little town with a beerpub, ice cream shop, grocery, coffee shop, and restaurant. It's also close to Sleeping Bear Dunes. We really enjoyed our stay at Shilladay House. ##### Thomas Y.
