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)

This home is amazing! The quiet setting and beautiful lake, plenty of space and room for large groups. The decor and landscape is beautiful, comfy beds, 3 bathrooms , the pavilion and back porch, fire pit, it was wonderful! I can’t say enough good things about this place and how gracious our hosts were in dropping off an xtra table for our party held indoors.It was the perfect place for my daughter’s special event.Thank you Teresa and Craig, we will be back and are certainly passing the word around about this gem of a place.Katrina
The cottage was beautiful and even better than in the photos!! We enjoyed the living room, all seasons porch, and outdoor areas. Would definitely stay again!
Just outstanding with everything necessary for a great stay! Wonderful amount of space for our three couples and such a serene setting! Close to all the wonderful sites in the area we wanted to enjoy. We all had a great time!
Upon arrival, our hearts warmed immediately to the beauty that enveloped us, taking us into "another world" experience. The home was inviting, clean, and had everything we needed. We definately will be staying here again in the future. Thank you!!
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.
Best Ive stayed at and Ive stayed at a lot! By far the cleanest. The view is amazing. Love having no neighbors! The 3 rooms and 3 bathrooms fit our family and friends great! Love the screened in porch and the porch outside to sit in the mornings! Will be coming again!
My extended family, including kids, stayed at this cottage while visiting Northern MI for an extended weekend. It’s such a charming home that allows you to settle in or visit the variety of destinations just a short drive away. This cottage is kept clean and has everything one may need. It’s spacious and easily fit 6 adults with 4 young kids. The property is beautiful, as it sits nestled in the woods with a view out towards a pond in the back. This is our second time staying here. Would certainly recommend to any visitors wanting to visit the Leelanau or Sleeping Bear Region.
The home was very clean and comfortable. There are lots of spaces to gather together making it a great spot for an extended family vacation. The location is great with a lot to explore within a thirty minute drive. We really enjoyed our stay!
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 enjoyed our stay very much. The house had everything you need. Close enough to visit Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Would highly recommend to anyone.
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!
Enjoyable location! Offers a peaceful and relaxing environment to get away. During our stay we enjoyed coffee on the back porch each morning with wildlife greeting us everyday.
We were in town for a softball tournament and this beat a hotel by far. So much room, great location. Have the “up north” feel. We enjoyed it and would highly recommend.
This secluded property gave us a great place to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with our family. The property was great and provided a convenient starting point for our visit to the various "up north" sites. Good visit.
