The lake house was everything the pictured displayed. The lake view was amazing and the patio and grill really made our cooking out experiences first class. The rooms were clean and fresh with ample towels and pillows provided by the host. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and pots and pans as well as new appliances that made cooking a breeze. My son fished in Bryan Lake and had such a great time catching bass and catfish. We are returning next Summer. We highly recommend this lake house just down the road from Lake Ann Village off of Lake Bryan.
Beautiful lake house on Bryan Lake!! Enjoyed the comfort of every room, well furnished in kitchen, and bathrooms. Location was perfect for our needs, enjoyed the row boat and fishing on the lake
Great week up north with family and this location was central to everything we wanted to do for the week. Loved ability to walk to grocery store, brewery and coffee house
Very nice and great amenities. Close to Traverse and Lake Michigan for day trips. Loved Lake Bryan for paddle-boarding. Would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful home, We had a great time everything was awesome, we love the location we love the accommodations and the hospitality I would definitely rent again
Great place to stay with a family. House was stocked with all the things you will need for your stay. Hosts were very kind and it shows in the presentation of this property. Lake is beautiful and quiet. Perfect place to relax and fish the day away. The surrounding area has plenty of access to beaches, fishing and other summer activities. Overall, amazing place for a quiet lazy vacation.
Stunning home with great amenities. Great kitchen for preparing meals and an open layout for visiting. Every view from the house is beautiful. Perfect lake for fishing and quiet outdoor space. Definitely coming again! Even our teenagers loved it!
Our family enjoyed the surrounding area during our stay. Kayaking on the Platte River, visits to the beach, biking in the National Lakeshore, and a stop in Glen Arbor. A relaxing and fun filled time. The location of our stay was very convenient. The home is very comfortable and in a quiet area.
Loved the location, so quiet and peaceful. There is no air conditioning which made it a little stuffy in the second bedroom

We are glad you were completely satisfied with our property, and hope you will visit again.
We had a great visit here. We made a lot of our own food, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The house is well decorated inside and we loved the porch swing and patio. We had s'mores one night in the firepit, and enjoyed taking a kayak for a spin around the small lake.
This is a beautiful home with all the amenities one could want and more, nothing was missing. The location is central to all the activities in the greater Sleeping Bear and Leelanau area and was a comfortable, peaceful location to return to after an active day. I highly recommend staying here.
