Fishing, paddling, and time around a campfire draw visitors to this private cabin near Lake Ann, Michigan, where a maple tree canopy shades the property and a creek runs nearby. Drive-in access means loading gear is straightforward. The hosts are familiar with the local area and can point guests toward less-crowded spots. Reservations are available, pets are welcome, and electric hookups are on-site. Nightly rates run $55 to $75. Campers wanting a public-land alternative can look at Lake Ann State Forest Campground for a different setup.
Description
Thank you for your interest in relaxing at our rustic retreat along cedar run creek!
About this special place:
This is a century old cabin sitting on 30 acres of land halfway between Traverse City and Empire just off M-72 West. This is a protected natural area so please be mindful of your presence on the land and among the plants and creatures. Leave things as they are.
We Provide:
Electricity, a full size bed, a couch, table, chairs, and a fan. We have an outhouse for you to use. Drinking water is available by hand pump and in the berkey inside the cabin. We are not far from Cedar Lake for swimming/bathing. We have a few hiking trails in the woods and one that leads to the creek. There is a fire pit outside for small fires (please check if there is fire danger and always put out your fire completely). There is very little cell service, a great way to unplug.
You should bring:
Bedding/sleeping bags, a way to keep your food cold, and a way to cook. Anything for camping. We suggest that you bring books, instruments, art making materials, and anything creative.
