About this house rental

Our home is nestled in the heart of northern Michigan, surrounded by serene beauty. You’ll find plenty of communal spaces for laughter, stories, and shared moments. The main house offers cozy nooks and spacious areas to gather, while the studio above the garage provides a private retreat for those seeking solitude or a private spot away from the main home. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch or unwinding by the fireplace, every corner of our home invites you to make memories. Step outside, and you’ll discover a paradise waiting to be explored. The crystal-clear lake beckons for a refreshing swim, kayaking, or perhaps a leisurely rowboat ride. And don’t forget horseshoes—nothing says summer like a friendly game under the sun. As evening falls, gather around the fire pit, share stories, and watch the stars twinkle above. Lace up your hiking boots and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature as the area boasts picturesque parks where you can picnic, birdwatch, or simply bask in the tranquility of Northern Michigan.

Lake Ann is a lovely and peaceful lake with lots of natural beauty. Pleasantview Cottage met all of our expectations. We were a family of 11 comprised of three generations. The cottage itself had a screened porch where we shared many meals together and played very competitive card games. Most evenings we spent around a bonfire on the shore of the lake sometimes roasting hotdogs, brats, and making s’mores. Our days were filled with kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and visits to Lake Michigan beaches. The Hughey’s were great hosts checking in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly. You won’t be disappointed with this VRBO rental.

Gary was a fantastic host. Very easy to communicate with. We had a great time while there. We had 5 grandkids aged 4 and under and they never wanted to leave. The beds were very comfortable and every amenity that you need is there. Highly recommend!

Lake Ann is a beautiful, quiet, picture-perfect lake, with nesting loons and bald eagles. The property is well stocked. The kitchen has all the pans and appliances that one needs; there are games and books for all ages; kayaks and a row boat and canoe are available for use. The owners can even provide baby gates, if needed. The property is well maintained. The owners are local and very available. They responded promptly to our questions and issues. They are also a delight to work with. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return. We highly recommend this property.

The property was great. The house was very clean and comfortable. It was beautifully decorated. The flowers and landscaping were beautiful. With five boys between ages 6-13 the yard and dock were great and in constant use. We were able to rent a pontoon boat for a few days which was a great option. It is centrally located and only about 30 minutes from everything. Gary was an amazing host.

We could not have been more happy with our week on Lake Ann. The family especially enjoyed fishing from the dock, kayaking, canoeing, and evenings around the campfire. The grounds were so lovely with lots of greenery and flowers. Gary was an excellent host that encouraged communication and was always quick to respond to questions. We would highly recommend this house for an extended family.

“Amazing family vacation location! Water access and fun activities for all ages and within close driving distance to day excursions. Had a great time with 8 adults and 4 children (aged 6, 3, 2, 6 months). Boats, jackets and fishing poles were available. Gary and Stacey were extremely helpful, easily accessible and very warm hosts. We not only saw 100 stars, I would give this property 100 stars! We look forward to returning!
