Cozy Large House, Big Porch, Fire Pit, Live Music Brewery, Heart of Lake Ann!

Historic Shilliday House is wrapped in the heart of the friendly hidden gem Lake Ann village. The group will enjoy easy access to everything from this centrally located & amazing place. Live music & drinks at Lake Ann Brewing, Stone Oven Restaurant, Corner Cone ice cream, Grocery Store & Cafe all next door! Lakefront park with a small beach is just a couple minute walk, the boat launch 2 miles, Traverse City, fantastic wineries and the sleeping bear dunes, and other sites close by!

Great spot for vacation with friends or family!

Location was great. Less than a 5 min walk to lively brewery, pizza, ice cream, coffee and grocery store. Grocery store has everything you could ever need. We had fun walking around the corner to The Bread Lady for best cinn rolls ever! The cabin was great and so was the host with accommodations

Lake Ann

Enjoyed our stay at Lake Ann! The Shilliday House is located in the heart of this cute, small lake town. Walk right across the street to everything you need, or just down the street. Even have lake access down the street. The coffee shop, grocery, ice cream shop, brewery, and Stone Oven are great spots! Absolutely loved the accessibility and atmosphere. House was great for our group, use of garage was nice, fire pit area seated everyone. Porch was the hangout for us. The record player was a hit for our family. Chris was super helpful and knew the area well. Quick drive to dunes, Long Lake, or Traverse.
