The best place we could have stayed for our trip up to Lake Ann! Matt and Jennie have a lovely place with thoughtful touches to make your stay just that much more enjoyable! Wonderful cottage and grounds and Jennie is detailed in her communication to make sure your stay is perfect. We are already talking about wanting to come back with other friends of ours for a long weekend next summer!

The Wayberry is a wonderful house located off the main roads in the woods. It was so quiet. The house is spacious (four bedrooms with mutliple beds) and a fun game room with a pool table. It's very quiet. You may want to bring provisions since the nearest full service is a 20 or 25 minute drive. We had a great time.

Our family of adult kids and one infant absolutely enjoyed our stay in the Wayberry cottage! The hosts were very quick to answer any questions that we had, the place was very clean, and just as described. The host did a great job of supplying information on what the local town had to offer, as well as what Traverse City, Michigan had available. We are hoping to return in the future, for sure.

Picture perfect setting! Beautiful and quiet location, perfect for our relaxing girls trip. We enjoyed staying in the home and playing games, sitting in the hot tub and by the campfire, as well as checking out local attractions and downtown Traverse City. It was just what we needed and we will definitely be back and hope to make this an annual trip!

Perfect space for our girls weekend. Plenty of space for us to hangout in common areas and also for everyone to have their own bed at night. A few of the group used the hot tub and enjoyed it. The weather was too cool to enjoy the other outdoor space but the property was nice and probably peaceful to enjoy a fire and play outdoor games when it gets a bit warmer. The host was friendly and good at communicating when we arrived and before checkout.
