About this property

Lakefront Bliss: Spacious Home on Lake Ann perfect for Large Family 25 min to TC

Our home is nestled in the heart of northern Michigan, surrounded by serene beauty. You’ll find plenty of communal spaces for laughter, stories, and shared moments. The main house offers cozy nooks and spacious areas to gather, while the studio above the garage provides a private retreat for those seeking solitude or a private spot away from the main home. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch or unwinding by the fireplace, every corner of our home invites you to make memories.

Step outside, and you’ll discover a paradise waiting to be explored. The crystal-clear lake beckons for a refreshing swim, kayaking, or perhaps a leisurely rowboat ride. And don’t forget horseshoes—nothing says summer like a friendly game under the sun. As evening falls, gather around the fire pit, share stories, and watch the stars twinkle above. Lace up your hiking boots and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature as the area boasts picturesque parks where you can picnic, birdwatch, or simply bask in the tranquility of Northern Michigan. World famous Leelanau County, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lake Shore, Traverse City, Fishtown in Leland, Cherry Republic in Glen Arbor - they are all close for you exploring adventure.

A week to remember with family
Lake Ann is a lovely and peaceful lake with lots of natural beauty. Pleasantview Cottage met all of our expectations. We were a family of 11 comprised of three generations. The cottage itself had a screened porch where we shared many meals together and played very competitive card games. Most evenings we spent around a bonfire on the shore of the lake sometimes roasting hotdogs, brats, and making s’mores. Our days were filled with kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and visits to Lake Michigan beaches. The Hughey’s were great hosts checking in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly. You won’t be disappointed with this VRBO rental.

Beautiful house
Gary was a fantastic host. Very easy to communicate with. We had a great time while there. We had 5 grandkids aged 4 and under and they never wanted to leave. The beds were very comfortable and every amenity that you need is there. Highly recommend!

Wonderful property for a family
Lake Ann is a beautiful, quiet, picture-perfect lake, with nesting loons and bald eagles. The property is well stocked. The kitchen has all the pans and appliances that one needs; there are games and books for all ages; kayaks and a row boat and canoe are available for use. The owners can even provide baby gates, if needed. The property is well maintained. The owners are local and very available. They responded promptly to our questions and issues. They are also a delight to work with. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return. We highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Hughey

Host profile image
Gary and Stacey, both Michigan natives, have a deep-rooted love for the unique beauty of our area and its stunning lakes. Our home is more than just a house—it’s a cherished gem that fills us with immense pride. Sharing it with our guests allows us to witness families coming together, creating lasting memories. During the summer rental season, we pack up and live in a camper, fully embracing the experience. We’re touched by how our guests appreciate the property’s uniqueness and care for it as if it were their own. This bond with visiting families is truly special!

Why they chose this property

The home is set at the end of a scenic ride thru winding country roads. We loved it at first sight! The screened in porch overlooking the lake had us sold before we even looked at the rest of the home. Nestled on the quiet south side of the lake, it is perfect for a relaxing sit by the water. The views from each part of the home combined with the location, dock, firepit made it the total package. It's close proximity to Traverse City and all that has to offer add to the value of its location!

What makes this property unique

Our home boasts a truly distinctive layout. It offers ample communal spaces for family gatherings, as well as cozy corners where you can enjoy private conversations. Perfect for multigenerational families, it’s a rarity in the area—a harmonious blend of space and intimacy. Whether it’s grandma and grandpa, parents, or grandchildren, everyone finds their niche. Privacy coexists with shared moments, creating the ideal backdrop for unforgettable family bonding during your vacation.
