About this property

Have your first cup of coffee where Lake Ann meets The mouth of The Platte River

The perfect Up North house! Built in 2006, this property's waterfront is where Lake Ann meets the mouth of the Platte River. Best fishing around! Enjoy your first cup of coffee on the large porch watching the sunrise and listening to the loon call. Open floor plan with nice island kitchen and hardwood floors throughout. Upper bedrooms exceptionally large, making lots of room for family visits. Walkout lower level is currently used as game room and kayak storage. Approximately 80' on Lake Ann, and 80' on Platte River.

House has been updated 2023. Updated kitchen counters, new island and all hardwood floors have been updated too

Lake Ann

Our stay on Lake Ann was very good - The kayaks and paddle boards were the best thing ! Beds were comfortable, house is centrally located to many popular Michigan sites - Cherry republic, sleeping Bear Dunes, Leland fishing town, Glen Lake, & Lake Michigan beaches. Really great family vacation -

We Loved It!

What an amazing property! We traveled with a large boat and found enough parking for several boats and trucks, beautiful views of the lake, and the most comfortable beds any of us had slept in, in a while. We will return to this property and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

Very enjoyable stay

Beautiful home in a quiet area. The property is beautiful, home is spacious. Love the open floor plan on the main floor. Beautiful large windows in the living and dining room area. Loved the wrap around deck. We were able to enjoy the ping pong table in the basement, bikes and kayaks. Property owner was very quick to respond to questions. Would definitely stay again.

Nice house

House was big and the beds were so comfortable! Great location. Clean. Kitchen had everything you could ever need. House was cool inside, I was concerned about no air conditioning but the breeze and shaded lot kept everything really comfortable. One issue we experienced was that every interior door in the house is wood, nice and heavy, but all were swollen from humidity and did not close unless you used a lot of force, and some were not able to close period. Not a huge problem but definitely loud. Overall was a great experience!

Fabulous, Fun and Comfy at Lake Ann

My family had the absolute best time!! The house was perfect. Great kitchen with plenty of prep space and everything you could possibly need to make a great meal. I had read other reviews and they all stated the beds were VERY comfortable and they were right!! And the bedrooms were very spacious. The whole house was laid out very nice. Very clean as well. Tons of amenities! The owner responded in a timely manner to any and all questions or inquiries. The location is great too. Not far to get to our charter fishing trip on the bay. I would definitely come back and I strongly recommend this property.

Disappointed

Stayed in 2021 and loved this so much that we booked 2022. The spacious driveway was blocked by a huge boat. Left parking difficult. Lawn was not mowed. Never did get mowed, we had an incident with ticks. Hardwood floors were not swept. We had to wash all counter tops as they were filthy. Had to rearrange the refrigerator and freezer just to get our own groceries in. We really liked the house, but were quite disappointed this year.

Family Vacation Haven

The perfect location for a Northern Michigan vacation. A spacious home with all the amenities that we needed. We enjoyed the fishing and kayaking. Everything was great! I especially liked relaxing on the deck. Even on the hottest days, it always seemed there was a cool breeze while reading or just hanging out there. The owner, Katherine, was quick to respond to any questions that I had.

Some fun, fishing, relaxation and a proposal

The house fit our needs perfectly. The beds were very comfortable allowing a good night of rest. The boys were early to rise for some fishing and although a bit slow, some very nice fish were caught. The location was perfect for easy daytrips to many great destinations. Our youngest got engaged providing us with a brand new daughter-in-law. He has now moved to be closer to his fiance leaving us with a bittersweet empty nest. The house was perfect for the post-engagement celebration with plenty of room for both families. Good lifelong memories were made by all. That is the hallmark of a good vacation!

Beautiful home in a perfect location!

We stayed here for our vacation with three generations of family. There was plenty of space and special things for everyone to do. We enjoyed fishing, kayaking, swimming, campfires, relaxing on the deck, exploring the Lake Ann area, and traveling to the many world-class tourist destinations that are only a 20-30 minute drive away. We would absolutely stay here again.
