Lake Ann is a hidden Gem of Northern Michigan. Just 18 minutes to Traverse City, and 20 minutes to Empire/Glen Arbor. Right in the middle of it all! Spend a day in TC for shopping, restaurants, and wineries, and the next day on the beautiful beaches that Northern Michigan's national lakeshore has to offer! Head to Lake Ann Brewery for a pint and grab some food from the Stone Oven. Order your pizza early! Grab a treat from the Corner Cone right next door on your way back to the house.
