Excellent place for a vacation. They let us park our camper for our stay. We enjoyed talking to the animals and watching the deer in the early morning. Lots of games, very nicely decorated home and extremely peaceful.

Another great week here: the house, property and location. You’re relatively close to everything: Traverse City, Old Mission, Lelenau, Suttons Bay and Glen Arbor. The city of Lake Ann has everything you need: The Stone Oven has great food, The Red Door for coffee and light breakfast, an ice cream shop and a brewery.

Spacious home close to everything

We loved our stay at this home. Tasteful decor and roomy open concept. It was quiet and private, and the little farm was a unique addition. Garage game room was perfect to both store our car top and tubes and enjoy some competition in the evenings. Close to everything as well. Highly recommend this home.
