Location! Halfway between Traverse City and Glen Arbor/Empire/Lake Michigan!

Lake Ann is a hidden Gem of Northern Michigan. Just 18 minutes to Traverse City, and 20 minutes to Empire/Glen Arbor. Right in the middle of it all! Spend a day in TC for shopping, restaurants, and wineries, and the next day on the beautiful beaches that Northern Michigan's national lakeshore has to offer!

Our small, friendly neighborhood is very relaxed and quiet. Enjoy the peaceful, quiet evenings at our home for your stay. Close the blackout curtains in either room for restful, uninterrupted sleep. When you do wake, head down to little Lake Ann to the Red Door coffee house for a coffee and a breakfast sandwich. Make sure to check out the local artisan goodies for sale while you wait!

After your day at the beach; come back to the house for a cool shower, then head down to Lake Ann Brewery for a pint and grab some food from the Stone Oven next door. Make sure to order your pizza early! Then grab a tasty treat from the Corner Cone right next door on your way back to the house.

Our home is fully stocked for your stay. Enjoy cooking? We have a full kitchen with pots/pans/dishes/etc! Make sure to check out Lake Ann Grocery for everything you could think of. It’s bigger on the inside!

Enjoy some of our local small businesses: Lake Ann Brewery, Corner Cone, Red Door Coffee House, Lake Ann Grocery, Papa J's, and The Bread Lady!

A nice, quiet place to stay - centrally located between Traverse City and the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. We enjoyed the Mission Peninsula & wineries, Traverse City, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. Frankfort has a great public beach. Glen Arbor has great art galleries. Biking along Crystal Lake between Frankfort & Beulah is a must!

Us older adults

I loved the kitchen, very well stocked, with enough supplies that we could have left 50% of our food supplies at home! The one thing we will bring next time is a card table and chairs. The couches were a stuggle to get out of.for our 80 year old bodies! Very nice experience over all
