About this property

Hemlock Cottage on beautiful Pikes Lake

Beautiful new home on Pikes Lake. This is a perfect quiet getaway, abundant with wildlife and a park like setting. This is not a swimming lake but is worth the view. 3 full bath, 3 bedrooms that can accommodate 10 comfortably. We are in a quiet setting on 10 wooded acres, 3 miles from the sweet little village of Lake Ann. Perfectly located between Traverse City and Sleeping Bear National Lake Shore. Spend a day exploring the Lake Michigan beaches, canoeing/tubing the rivers, hiking/biking nearby trails, the charming local villages, golf courses, horse back riding, and take the kids to the Cherry Bowl Drive Inn Theater in Honor. Reserve the Magic Shuttle Bus just around the corner to pick you up at the door to take you to the many wineries and breweries. We're a winter wonderland too! Bring your skis, snowshoes, and snowmobiles. We are within minutes to all of the trails and ski hills. Come back to the house to relax on the awesome 52 ft. porch! Relax under the large pavilion. Build a fire and grill out. Just enjoy! Also, check out our other vacation rental located on the same property. The Evergreen Cottage, vrbo # 1119066. Sleeps 10. This is available year around and is a Saturday to Saturday rental during the summer months.(June through August)

The house is spacious and has so many comfortable seating areas. The kitchen was better equipped than my own house. Check-in and out was very easy. We enjoyed the Lake Ann area nearby.

Cabin is great and property is amazing. The covered pavilion was perfect to host games at night under the lights. Enough rooms/beds for everyone in company. Everything we needed right under one roof. Just far enough from traverse city to avoid the craziness, but close enough to still go enjoy the city during the day. Would love to come back in the future!

We stayed at this property for four nights in early September with four adults and two kids while attending a family wedding at BlueBridge. The cottage exceeded our expectations—it was even more beautiful than the pictures!Despite experiencing rain most days, the property itself was lovely, and the kids had a blast exploring and hunting for rocks and acorns. We were also able to enjoy the fire pit and outdoor pavilion on our one dry evening, which was a highlight.The house was incredibly well-equipped with everything we could possibly need—from paper products and first aid kits to puzzles and games. Inside, it was spacious and comfortable; nobody felt cramped at all. The kids loved the foosball table in the basement and were thrilled to sleep in the bunk beds while Mom and Dad stayed in the queen bed in the same basement bedroom.Our only minor note (and really, it’s very minor) is that the Keurig coffee machine is quite loud when the pump kicks on—so much so that you can hear it all the way in the basement! If others are sleeping, just be aware it sounds like a tiny airplane taking off.Overall, we had an amazing stay and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone traveling with a large group!

Quiet but close to everything

We had an amazing time here! It was close (20 minutes) to Traverse City, the sand dunes, and anywhere else we wanted to go. The plaxe was beyond clean - probably the cleanest place we've ever stayed at. Great spot, will stay again!

Amazing property for a weekend getaway

Hemlock Cottage was absolutely perfect for our getaway with friends! The property had so much space inside, and it was well-equilled with everything we could ever need. The back porch was a wonderful place to sip coffee/tea while taking in the views. It was just about 20 minutes into the heart of downtown TC. We would definitely stay her again!

Beautiful Fall Retreat

This was a clean and cozy home to spend our girls weekend in. The setting and the home were stunning. Our group of friends had the best time and the home was perfect. All amenities are as described and provided even more. The property was beautiful during this fall season and we were able to enjoy seeing the wildlife. This is a house is not to be missed and we already plan on returning.
