Perfect for us!

The studio apt above the garage was exactly what we needed. It was well equipped, cute, and very comfortable with everything we could possibly need for our weeklong stay. Barb is incredibly kind and has the sweetest dog named Dash who liked to greet us every day when we returned. Barb's gardens are gorgeous and the location of her place was perfect for easily accessing everywhere we wanted to go. Highly recommend!

Stay with personality in the heart of North Country

Barb’s place is even better than it looks in oics. Very beautiful gardems of bright flowers greet you. The space is very generous in size. Location is right in heart of Lake Ann, so couldn’t be easier to walk to pizza or a true general store. It is easy to get to Sleeping Bear, Leelanau and Traverse City Barb had the winner of scret beaches. Great value.

Perfect place for two

We stayed three nights at The Loft at Lake Ann and it was the perfect spot for the two of us. The kitchen was fully equipped, the bed was comfy and the water in the shower was hot!! Our host was very easy to communicate with if we needed anything, and she provided it very quickly. We would absolutely recommend this spot if you're visiting the area!!

Fantastic place!

This rental is quaint and surrounded by nature. The kitchen is fully equipped which we loved. Also loved walking up to the local grocery, using the firepit for smores and cozy adirondacks for early-morning reading. Bed and pillows are heaven! Thank you, Barb!

Beautiful Quiet Loft for Two

We enjoyed a week-long stay at Barb's beautiful loft in Lake Ann. The suite had everything we needed, was decorated with lots of care, paintings and quality furnishings. Her gardens were lovely and the location was in the middle of everything we wanted to see and do in the NW Michigan area (south of the UP). Barb, was quick to respond to any questions from local places to visit and restaurants to enjoy. The check-in/check-out was bar far the easiest we've experienced and she is a most gracious host. Next time we're in the area, we're definitely to hoping to stay at this beautiful Lake Ann Loft. 5 Stars++

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.

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.
