This was our third visit to this lovely little cottage. Relaxing and close to Leland, Traverse City, and Sleeping Bear area. On a nice fishing lake and walkable to Lake Ann Town center. We enjoyed our stay very much and will likely be back next year.

Great location

This was our second time staying in this cottage and like the first time, everything was perfect. There are many good hikes within a short distance and just a short walk into town for great beer music and food. Many other options are just a short drive away.

Sooooooo chill

For a man and his little daughter, that part of Lake Ann was phenomenal. Nature at the lake, comfortable inside, fire pit was an added benefit with tons of wood already cut for me. Kitchen, bedrooms, living room, and A/C unit was very efficient. The community with restaurants and brewery was very entertaining. Great spot!

Lake Ann 23

Overall, the property is great and as described. Two things I would suggest at this point with all the amenities you have- that would be to switch to cotton sheets and consider replacing the mattress.
Lillies in the morning and bass abound.

Michael, Thank you for your review your suggestions. As of this week we have upgraded the sheets on the full size bed to 700 thread count Egyptian cotton. We will do a thorough inspection of the full size mattress when cleaning this weekend to see if it needs replacing. We are surprised since it is only 4 years old. We appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoyed your stay. Jeanine and Dan

Bryant lake cottage

Beautiful location. So much to do within 30 minutes… Convenient for Kayaking, hiking, shopping, breweries, wineries, restaurants and breathtaking scenery. Cottage was nice. We were out exploring most of the time but was perfect to come back after a days activity and have a comfortable place to get a nights rest.

Really a "find" for a Northern Michigan cottage by a stillwater private lake, with a nice layout, both indoors and out. The fire pit area is like a slice on sandy beach, but only 40 feet away from a nice deck with a grill and seating for five. Indoor spacing and sleep accomodations are limited to four, but the outdoor seating can accommodate 6-8 for a cookout bonfire (plenty of beach and deck chairs).Also, its just off the main street of the tiny town of Lake Ann, but nowhere near any traffic or noise. We were able to all to the tiny downtown (recommend the brewery/pizza restaurant with outdoor "beer garden" seating and live music).And our hosts went to the max, fetching a new electric tea pot to accommodate my wife! We plan on coming back next year lor the year after.

Great getaway

My wife and I came up for our 31st anniversary. We usually stay right in or very near TC. We found this place online and it was amazing! Beautiful quiet lake, the house was very nice and we had everything we needed. The little town right around the block was amazing from the Lake Ann Grocery to the Lake Ann Brewery and the restaurant next door. Live music every night at the brewery and great food you can pick up and eat at the surprisingly large venue behind. We will definitely be back!

The owners greeted us as we arrived and showed us around....they were so nice, cottage is cute, comfortable, cozy, screened in porch was so nice, especially the day it rained, we used the paddle boat so relaxing there......and well stocked with paper products and cookware...7 days didn't seem long enough....would stay again. It was GREAT.....also very clean and wood for a campfire....town is walking distance with a little grocery store, bar, restaurant and post office...and wi-fi.....cable tv. what more could you want...and little private beach to walk to on Lake Ann....Owners should be proud to offer this cottage...they did a good job.

Loved this place!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location is wonderful with food, grocery, and a brewery just a ten minute walk away and the property itself was just wonderful. The enclosed porch and gorgeous lake views were my favorite and my husband had a blast fishing on the dock and with the row boat. We also enjoyed the quietness of the area, as well as the plentiful outdoor seating and made use of the gas grill twice! We drove to the Traverse City Cherry Festival twice and then also went to Sleeping Bear Dunes and both were just 20-30 min away. My son loved playing outside, sleeping in the porch, and really enjoyed the playground and ice cream that were ten minutes away! We will hopefully be back soon!

Clean, pleasant, exactly as described

My husband, Bart and I had a wonderful time while staying at the Lone Pine Cottage in Lake Ann, Michigan August 6 - 13, 2016, and would certainly recommend Lone Pine to friends. We hope to return again next year. We had everything we needed to be comfortable and self sufficient. It is a perfect, central location to stay if one wants to explore the Lelanau and Benzie Counties. We found it to be very private, quiet and peaceful. Finally, it was very easy and pleasant to communicate with Jeannine and her husband and we appreciate all they did for us. Judi and Bart Ridley
