Grandma's House LA Charming 3-bedroom corporate apt /duplex w/WiFi, Lake Ann

6/10 Okay

"Overall good location but owner requested that we not use the freezer , asked 5 for each load of laundry.. there was no place to but the garbage or recycling. Wanted to charge 37 for a pull chain that I am not sure we even broke . We were a group of over 70 soccer players that were very responsible."

Cozy waterfront sunset cottage on Herendeene Lake in Lake Ann, Dock, Dog ok

10/10 Excellent

"Terrific cottage on quiet lake - great for families (lake with dock, kayak, canoe, fire pit, hammock, outdoor seating, laundry, well-stocked kitchen, etc) and just 15-20 minutes from everything in the area. No AC but cool at night even on hot days."

Sandy Lakefront | Sunsets | Deck | Dock | Kayaks

10/10 Excellent

"The home is in a wonderful, secluded location with Lake Anne right in front. It was very nice to have the kayaks and stand-up-paddleboards available and we definitely used them a lot. It was also an easy drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes for a day trip. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals and the beds were comfortable."

Historical home, the Burnett Nestt in the heart of Lake Ann

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for three nights, which was the final leg of our eight-night trip back to our home state. Although we didn't spend much time on the property while traveling the area, we thoroughly enjoyed the time we did spend there. The place has everything, very well decorated, a bit funky, and lots of fun. Barb was very accommodating and wished we could have spent a bit of time with her, but via text, she was very responsive. So many nice touches, both inside and out on the wrap-around porch. We had been hoping to do our lodging in Traverse City when setting the trip up a few months back, but due to the Fourth, there were slim pickings. As it turned out, this was the better pick! In terms of location, probably more central than TC when it comes to visiting the overall area. So - there has to be one negative, right? I'm including TC with this as well, there just aren't many breakfast places, we never saw one! :) "

Bryan Lake Hideaway | Private Beach | Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The home is very cute and cozy!! It was the perfect size for our family of four. The beds were very comfortable! Our son loved using the paddle board to go fishing in the calm pond. The neighborhood is very quiet. The deck was the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the lake. The view from the windows overlooking the lake was so peaceful. The Lake Ann area is just beautiful. We felt as though the home is in a perfect location to go explore the Dunes or to go to Traverse City. If you plan on exploring the Northern Michigan area, this home is the perfect in between spot to do all of that! "

Kayaks! PONTOON BOAT! gameroom! FLOATING AQUA-PLAY-MAT! Pool table.

10/10 Excellent

"This was a lovely house. We loved being on Cedar Lake and the kayaks were our favorite outdoor activity. There's a fire pit by the lake. The pontoon ran with no problems. We did have to run the fan, as suggested, because the lower level was cold otherwise. We would stay there again if in the area."
