We had a great visit here. We made a lot of our own food, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The house is well decorated inside and we loved the porch swing and patio. We had s'mores one night in the firepit, and enjoyed taking a kayak for a spin around the small lake.

Our family enjoyed the surrounding area during our stay. Kayaking on the Platte River, visits to the beach, biking in the National Lakeshore, and a stop in Glen Arbor. A relaxing and fun filled time. The location of our stay was very convenient. The home is very comfortable and in a quiet area.

Very nice and great amenities. Close to Traverse and Lake Michigan for day trips. Loved Lake Bryan for paddle-boarding. Would definitely stay here again.

The pictures do not do the home justice. It was more beautiful and spacious then the photos let on. We normally do not choose vacation properties with so many other properties close by, however, even with houses so close on both sides we never heard the neighbors and most days we had the lake to ourselves. The house is a 10min walk to Lake Ann Brewery, The Corner Cone ice cream shop, a small store, a restaurant, park, small beach, and coffee shop. We went to all of these locations and each was great. The brewery had live music outside nightly which we enjoyed. The lake itself was smaller and we set their swim platform up further out into the lake for the kids to swim as the water by the dock was caked with layers of leaves and the kids kept getting small leeches on them. Once they were father out the leeches were not an issue. Location was great for us to use a a base to go and hike sleepy bear dunes area, go to beaches there, and to do a couple river kayak trips. It was also about 15-20mins to Traverse City’s downtown area.

The pictures do not do this justice. A cool lakefront home with fantastic lake views and access on quiet Bryan Lake. Fishing was great. We even saw a paiir of Loons. Plenty of nearby attractions to visit, including Traverse City, Glen Arbor, and various Lake Michigan beaches. So relaxing we didn't want to leave. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay.

A Beautiful Home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this immaculate house. The home’s location on Bryan Lake made for a very relaxing setting. In fact, we spent a good amount of time on the back deck facing the water; and, the home’s wrap-around front porch is the perfect summertime reading spot. A short walk takes you right into town where visitors can find a coffee shop, brewery, restaurant and country store.

Great Vacation!
My family had an amazing time at this Lake Ann rental! It was honestly the cleanest house I've ever been in, totally immaculate. The decor is beautiful and every detail and amenity has been thought of. Very comfortable beds, nice linens, great towels, etc. Everything was great! The lake is so clear and clean. There isn't really a beach at the house, but there's a swim platform provided, and we would just float around towards the middle of the lake. If I had to critique one thing, it would just be that the couches were a bit uncomfortable and seemed to be starting to break a little, but don't let that stop you from staying here. Seriously the nicest rental experience we've ever had!

We had a great time at Rolling Birch. Enjoying the lake view, (top notch)taking the boat out and fishing, grilling on the patio, short trips to take in the scenery and just relaxing in peaceful surroundings and comfort. So close to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Leland etc. Jeanine and Dan have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. Perfect kitchen and great room. Master bedroom just beautiful. Comfortable bed too! Our son, his wife and our 3 year old grandson stayed next door at Lone Pine, 1 bedroom cottage. 30 ft from us! Worked well during these COVID times. We would like to come back next year. Thanks Jeanine & Dan for accommodating us on such short notice.Diane & Marc

This is a beautiful home with all the amenities one could want and more, nothing was missing. The location is central to all the activities in the greater Sleeping Bear and Leelanau area and was a comfortable, peaceful location to return to after an active day. I highly recommend staying here.

Awesome place to just kick back and enjoy relaxing
Was a bit into the rental season but had to cancel an out west trip. Couldn’t have been more comfortable and fortunate to have found this. Having said that next time I’m going to be sorry I said anything.

Lake Bryan stay
This property exceeded all of our expectations. We enjoyed it so much that we didn't go out for any meals, choosing to eat often on the patio. I intended to read quite a lot, but spent most of my reading time just gazing at the beautiful lake. Congrats to Jeanine and Dan for maintaining a great place to visit.

GREAT SPOT AND DARLING CABIN
The owners of this darling property have thought of everything. Comfy beds, kayaks and rowboats, life vests, beach towels, fire pit and beautiful layout. Location is great also because you're walking distance (.4 miles)to the general store, great restaurant and ice cream stand. Our boys tore up the small lake fishing, and then put in over on Lake Ann for a day or two also with our kayaks. Just a great, relaxing vacation and only a 15 minute drive from Traverse City.

Nothing but good things to say!
Wonderful owners, wonderful cottage, wonderful location!
So much to see and do in the area; all within a very reasonable walk or drive. So quite and peaceful. Far removed from the busyness of Traverse City.
Love this place!

Lake Ann House
Wonderful house, perfect for our family of four, lovely lake that's quiet w/o powerboats, enjoyed the paddleboat and kayaks. Town has a great little pub and eatery, friendly locals.

Comfortable home, well equipped.
Owners very nice and home as advertised, coming well appointed and very clean. Nice linens and accessories. The lake is small and weedy. There is a moderate volume highway with some traffic noise.
I'm not sure how the lake would have been for summertime swimming. It seems to be well stocked with fish.
Be aware that the home is 13 miles or so from Traverse city and at least as far from Sleeping bear dunes. A small grocer is nearby, but a large store is a 25-minute ride away.
My main suggestion for improvement is to address the poor lighting. While there are numerous cans and lamps, the overall wattage is insufficient for relaxing and reading in the nice family room. There are 10 light bulbs in the fans, but they are not functional. Having them work would be a vast improvement.
Overall, it's a nice play to stay at a fair price point.

Great vacation spot!
Our vacation plans got changed last minute thanks to Hurricane Florence, but we’re so happy we found this place. Jeanine and Dan are wonderful hosts, and are very responsive and helpful. The house is beautiful and makes a perfect spot for home base to explore Sleeping Bear Dunes, quaint towns and lots of lakes.
