This is a beautiful, quiet, and serene Christian-themed apartment that consists of the entire second floor of a charming Dutch colonial home in the northern Michigan countryside. It is on a dirt road about a 5 minute drive north from downtown Lake Ann. It has a large living room, large bedroom, and room A/C. Also includes a private balcony overlooking the countryside as well as its own bonfire ring with outdoor chairs. It provides a lovely getaway to all that Northern Michigan has to offer!


GUEST INTERACTION:

The property owners live on the first floor and are available to address any questions or issues. They also co-ordinate check-in.


NEIGHBORHOOD:

Lake Ann is a cute little northern Michigan town that has a very quaint old-time general store, a microbrewery, post office, and several cute shops and restaurants. The lake itself is quite beautiful and serene and there are nature trails that run along it as well as public parks on the lake. The geographic location of Lake Ann makes it great central point for exploring Traverse City to the east, the Leelanau Peninsula to the north, Sleeping Bear Dunes to the northwest, and Crystal Lake, Beulah, Frankfort, Elberta, and Lake Michigan beaches to the west. All of these locations are within a 45-minute drive from the cottage!


THE SPACE:

The apartment is very traditional in terms of décor with an up-north country theme throughout the apartment. The apartment is dog-friendly and up to 2 dogs are permitted with a pet fee. There are some trails on the property for walking dogs as well.

The property owners are a lovely retired couple that live on the first floor of the house. The husband works part-time as a church pastor. They coordinate guest stays. (We provide you with their contact information after a reservation is made.)


TRANSIT:

Public transportation in the area is limited, so it is highly recommended that guests have their own vehicle.


PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

1) PET POLICY: The apartment is pet-friendly and up to 2 dogs are allowed. (Pit bulls, rottweilers, and cats are not permitted.) Dogs must not be left alone in the apartment by themselves though. If bringing 1 or 2 dogs, please make certain that they are included on the reservation and that the pet fee is appropriately paid. More than 2 dogs is strictly prohibited and any pets other than dogs are also strictly prohibited.
