Great spot for vacation with friends or family!

Location was great. Less than a 5 min walk to lively brewery, pizza, ice cream, coffee and grocery store. Grocery store has everything you could ever need. We had fun walking around the corner to The Bread Lady for best cinn rolls ever! The cabin was great and so was the host with accommodations

Lake Ann

Enjoyed our stay at Lake Ann! The Shilliday House is located in the heart of this cute, small lake town. Walk right across the street to everything you need, or just down the street. Even have lake access down the street. The coffee shop, grocery, ice cream shop, brewery, and Stone Oven are great spots! Absolutely loved the accessibility and atmosphere. House was great for our group, use of garage was nice, fire pit area seated everyone. Porch was the hangout for us. The record player was a hit for our family. Chris was super helpful and knew the area well. Quick drive to dunes, Long Lake, or Traverse.

Hello! My name is Chris. I am an avid traveler with the goal to give guests an amazing vacation experience just like some that I’ve been given in my travels!

Why they chose this property

Lake Ann is a true gem. It is a beautiful and cozy town with laid back vibes and a burst of positivity from the locals. The brewery, coffee shop, ice cream shop, restaurant and grocery store all give you the freedom to be out of the bustle of Traverse City if your goal is a relaxing getaway. If you are looking for more adventures, luckily for you, Lake Ann is great proximity to TC, wineries, the sleeping bear dunes and many must see parks and lakes.

What makes this property unique

I meticulously decorated this home to highlight nostalgia and when life was simpler. My hope is for your stay to take you out of 2024 and back to a slower time where you have the ability to relax and enjoy making memories with great company.
