About this property

Beautiful new home on Pikes Lake. This is a perfect quiet getaway, abundant with wildlife and a park like setting. This is not a swimming lake but is worth the view. 3 full bath, 3 bedrooms that can accommodate 10 comfortably. We are in a quiet setting on 10 wooded acres, 3 miles from the sweet little village of Lake Ann. Perfectly located between Traverse City and Sleeping Bear National Lake Shore. Spend a day exploring the Lake Michigan beaches, canoeing/tubing the rivers, hiking/biking nearby trails, the charming local villages, golf courses, horse back riding, and take the kids to the Cherry Bowl Drive Inn Theater in Honor. Reserve the Magic Shuttle Bus just around the corner to pick you up at the door to take you to the many wineries and breweries. We're a winter wonderland too! Bring your skis, snowshoes, and snowmobiles. We are within minutes to all of the trails and ski hills. Come back to the house to relax on the awesome 52 ft. porch! Relax under the large pavilion. Build a fire and grill out. Just enjoy! Also, check out our other vacation rental located on the same property. The Evergreen Cottage, vrbo # 1119066. Sleeps 10. This is available year around and is a Saturday to Saturday rental during the summer months.(June through August)

Beautiful Fall Retreat

This was a clean and cozy home to spend our girls weekend in. The setting and the home were stunning. Our group of friends had the best time and the home was perfect. All amenities are as described and provided even more. The property was beautiful during this fall season and we were able to enjoy seeing the wildlife. This is a house is not to be missed and we already plan on returning.

Amazing property for a weekend getaway

Hemlock Cottage was absolutely perfect for our getaway with friends! The property had so much space inside, and it was well-equilled with everything we could ever need. The back porch was a wonderful place to sip coffee/tea while taking in the views. It was just about 20 minutes into the heart of downtown TC. We would definitely stay her again!

Perfect setting for family!

We were in town for a softball tournament and this beat a hotel by far. So much room, great location. Have the “up north” feel. We enjoyed it and would highly recommend.

Quiet but close to everything

We had an amazing time here! It was close (20 minutes) to Traverse City, the sand dunes, and anywhere else we wanted to go. The plaxe was beyond clean - probably the cleanest place we've ever stayed at. Great spot, will stay again!

Great Place to Stay

This is our second time staying at Craig and Theresa's properties and will be returning next year! The home is spotless, easy for the entire family to fit (we have 3 adult children and 2 have S.O.) and it is close to everything we like to do. I cannot recommend Hemlock Property enough!

Another Great Visit

This was our second time staying at the Hemlock Cottage, and we enjoyed it just as much this time as we did last time. It's a beautiful, peaceful property and the cottage is lovely. It's close enough to Traverse City to be convenient for activities, but far enough away to be off the beaten path. It's a wonderful place and we highly recommend it!

Peaceful

We had 5 adults, our 6th friend joined us one night and had plenty of room for cooking, dining, and sleeping all under one roof. The backyard view is ANAZING! Each one of us said “we can’t wait to have our coffee here in the AM”. So peaceful with beautiful wildlife. Close to nearby towns and beaches but tucked away for the perfect quiet retreat. Also, very quick responses form the host for anything. Thank you!

Beautiful and Quiet Stay

We had an absolute wonderful stay here for Memorial weekend. There was plenty of space for the 8 people staying at the house as we all had our own rooms and space for privacy. Having a property where we could play yard games and be outside a lot is always a plus for us and this property did not disappoint in that regard! Watching the birds, especially the nesting cranes, in the mornings and afternoons was a delight and would certainly stay again just to have a cup of coffee off that back porch again! Teresa was a wonderful host and answered any questions we had immediately, and her husband showed up when we had problems with the grill. Wonderful hosts and beautiful place to get away for the weekend!
