The house worked well for our family reunion; five bedrooms and a wonderful wraparound porch in Lake Ann. It was clean and well-appointed. The location also worked well: Lake Ann is a great little town with a beerpub, ice cream shop, grocery, coffee shop, and restaurant. It's also close to Sleeping Bear Dunes. We really enjoyed our stay at Shilladay House.

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.
