Cozy and Cute

My husband and I stayed in the loft above the garage and were pleasantly surprised by the accommodations. It was stocked with everything we could have wanted and the kitchen was well equipped. A short walk to the brewery and pizza restaurant in the cute town of Lake Ann and a short drive to Interlochen. The grounds of the house were lush and gorgeous and we were able to walk around it. We would definitely stay there if we visit again. The bed was a little hard to get into as it was nestled in between two walls so you had to get on to it from the foot of the bed. My husband and I had no problem but if you have movement issues you might find it hard to get into bed. Overall, this is a very nice place to stay.

Lovely Loft!

The grounds are beautiful. Surrounded by flowers and woods. The decor in the loft is so inviting. Makes you want to curl up with a good book. I slept like a baby in the comfy bed. This accommodation is so charming, quiet and comfortable. I would stay here again without a doubt.

Lovely loft

I stayed here while attending a choir camp at Interlochen which is an easy 10 to 15 minute drive from the loft. I was very comfortable here. Pretty much everything I could need was provided. Beautiful gardens to look at, cute dogs to pet. I would happily stay here again.

Very Clean and Conveniently Located

We very much enjoyed our stay. I especially appreciated the very comfortable bed and pillows. Sheets and bedding were very clean. Barb was a gracious host and had the property ready for us upon arrival with the added touch’s of fresh flowers and a variety of drinks in the refrigerator. The small village of Lake Ann was quaint, quiet— Coffee shop and bar within walking distance. Away from the busy tourist areas but still close enough to enjoy all the fun in traverse city, Interlochen, and Lake Michigan. We would stay here again.

Wonderful Stay!

My son was at Interlochen Arts Academy and I needed a place to stay for several nights. This was an easy 15-minute drive from Interlochen in the charming small town of Lake Ann, and the accommodations were really wonderful. There was nothing Robin had not thought of in appointing this beautiful space, and the gardens are gorgeous.. I highly recommend staying here!

Two Day Get Away

The loft was perfect for the two of us. The bed was very comfortable and the fold down sofa was fine, would be great for kids. Everything that we needed was available in the loft. The kitchen was fully stocked with pans and utensils. Then coming down to the patio and garden was a treat for morning coffee or happy hour wine.

Owner was nothing but amazing!! We had a last minute mix up with another location and I definitely believe everything happens for a reason because we ended up at the perfect place! Home is located close to town and beach access. The loft was beautifully maintained and super clean! Definitely top on our list when we return to the Traverse City area!
