Hosted by Catered Stays Rentals, we’re all about creating the perfect guest experience. Stay on a peaceful no-wake lake just 20 minutes from Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Paddleboards, kayaks, and a rowboat are all included for your stay.

Walk down from the garage into an open-concept main level featuring dining for 10 and a cozy den. The deck overlooks the lake and includes a grill, outdoor dining, and plenty of seating for gathering or yoga.

Inside, you’ll find four bedrooms and two baths across the main and upper levels, plus a bunk room and extra den downstairs. Each space includes streaming TV, fast Wi-Fi, and a wood-burning fireplace.

Guests have access to all spaces except the owner’s closet and garage. Garage access is available upon inquiry.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Loon's Lakehouse was the perfect home base for our multi-generational family vacation, with everyone in our group having their own area in the spacious, multi-level property. We enjoyed the location--and the beautiful views!--directly on Lake Ann and access to kayaks, a canoe, paddle boards, and fishing gear. We also enjoyed easy access to and from downtown Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and Fishtown/Leland. Andrew was a great, communicative host. If ever back in Northern Michigan, we would definitely stay at this property again.
