About this property
Secluded Lake Ann Cottage. Near Interlochen, Sleeping Bear, Traverse City
Secluded on 3 acres with a 3/4 mile private drive the cottage is surrounded by nature. Nestled among tall pines and birch trees, Happy Outlook is a charmingly casual Northern Michigan historic cottage of the early 1900’s updated with modern conveniences on it's own very private point. Only 2 other places are on over a 1/2 mile of lakeshore on the 530 acre Ann Lake. Retired Owners are on the property for any needs on 100 ft. of lakeshore. Renters have a 200 ft lakeshore, main cottage, patio, and east deck area with 2 docks, bonfire area, and outdoor shower.
The cottage is one mile from the charming village of Lake Ann which has an old-fashioned General store & grocery, Brew Pub with evening entertainment, bank, restaurants, library, 2 parks, museum, tennis courts, pizza places, Post Office & churches. Two miles away is the 27- hole Championship Mistwood Golf Course and restaurant.
The cottage is 'centrally' located to Lake Michigan, Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, Interlochen Center of the Arts & Traverse City, which are each about 12 miles away.
An opportunity to appreciate the simple things in life, paddle, fish, hike, enjoy a campfire, a book, local wine, and watch the loons play. The main patio has an old stone fireplace with a wood-fired grill, prep area, charcoal BBQ option, and dining. The patio is wrapped with fragrant lavender. Docks have ladders and we enjoy swimming laps to our raft and back.
Canoe, rowboat, and 2 kayaks are available for your use. xANq9

Why they chose this property
A unique classic 100 yr. old cottage on a remote lakeshore on Lake Ann in Benzie Co. Near Leelanau Co. and Grand Traverse Co. Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, Interlochen, and numerous wineries. It is central to many of the regions assets! The small town of Lake Ann is like stepping back in time with a General Store. The Lake Ann Brewing Co. has brews and evening entertainment for the family. The Stone Oven has great food to eat while enjoying the brew pub music. The property is at the end of 3/4 mile long private road and surrounded by hundreds of acres of conserved properties. The property itself has 300 ft of lakefront on 3 acres. It's our get-away to enjoy nature and "Up North". The woodpecker tapping, the loon calling and chatter of squirrels are our noisy neighbors. The lake has restricted high speed boating from 7:30 pm to 11 am. Most boaters respect that law.
What makes this property unique
The Lakefront features a main patio, deck area, docks, fire ring and outdoor shower. The main patio has an old stone fireplace with a wood fired grill & a charcoal grill, prep area and dining. The patio is wrapped with fragrant lavender in July & August. Canoe, rowboat and 2 kayaks are available for your use. Docks have ladders and we enjoy swimming laps to our raft and back, snorkeling or just floating. The point has a mud bottom so we swim off the east dock and use the outdoor shower after to avoid swimmer's itch. We haven't had a problem with the itch after installing the shower. Kitchen and baths are updated in keeping with the earlier times. The screen porch is great for meals and reading. We will be adding internet for 2021 by request however it's about getting away!
