Happy Outlook/Lake Ann Cottage was fantastic. We loved it! Being on the lake in such private setting made up for the few missing creature comforts like AC. (The bed was the most comfortable vacation rental bed...ever.) Location was ideal for exploring the area. We took advantage of the kayaks and canoe and managed to take the dog with us (without capsizing)! Our 7 YO Godson requested we come here every year. And if the dog could talk, he would second that motion. Can't wait to come back!

We simply loved our time at Happy Outlook! The cottage is secluded and rustic but still perfectly charming, clean and comfortable. Scott and Nancy were wonderful, friendly and helpful hosts. The views and lake are beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed a quiet week of dock fishing, a bit of boating, loon watching and adventuring around the property and nearby beaches/attractions. Our small kids imaginations ran wild the entire time and we loved every minute! Thanks again Scott and Nancy! We hope to be back next year!

Scott and Nancy provided an excellent retreat on Lake Ann. They provided excellent communication and wonderful suggestions to local events. Their property is remote and provided a serene setting to enjoy our end-of-summer retreat. We took advantage of all that the property offered (from the kayaks and canoe to the outdoor kitchen). It is really a hidden gem.

Cozy rustic charm on a beautiful lake. We were there with our two teen daughters and our dogs. The girls rated the vacation 11/10 and if the dogs could talk...20/10. Easy access to water for swimming, paddling or simply wading. Loons, eagles, frogs, fish, deer, song birds and two friendly garter snakes make regular appearances.. Great outdoor gathering spaces around a stone oven and charcoal grill or a fire pit. Wonderful onsite hosts. Town has a small market that literally has everything you need. Easy access to best ice cream in the country and Sleeping Bear/Arcadia Dunes. Dreaming of our next visit.

This is a fantastic place- quiet and peaceful, perfectly situated for getting to Traverse City and Sleeping Dunes. The cabin is well equipped for everything you could possibly need; beds are comfortable; the lake views are fantastic. Scott and Nancy are there when you need them, with advice about things to do- but know not to be overbearing. We really appreciated that Scott made sure there was wood for the campfire and barbecue! We will stay here again if we can!

We had the most wonderful and relaxing time in the Lake Ann house. It's a great property with a great view and great amenities. The hosts are the best hosts we've ever had in a vacation rental experience. 10/10, would recommend!

This charming home right on Lake Ann is clearly well cared for and loved by the owners. VERY clean and adorably decorated. Lots of space for a family to enjoy. Anything you would need in the kitchen and at the water's edge. Perfect location between Traverse City and Lake Michigan.

Property peaceful, beautiful setting. Enjoy close proximity to nearby restaurants and activities. Should be noted that owner has home on property but is very personable. Love that he helped build loons nest and truly loved their songs and entertainment!
