About this property

Emanuel - CUTE UPSTAIRS APARTMENT WITH AIR CONDITIONING! GREAT LOCATION AND DOG-FRIENDLY!

  • This is a beautiful, quiet, and serene Christian-themed apartment that consists of the entire second floor of a charming Dutch colonial home in the northern Michigan countryside. It is on a dirt road about a 5 minute drive north from downtown Lake Ann. It has a large living room, large bedroom, and room A/C. Also includes a private balcony overlooking the countryside as well as its own bonfire ring with outdoor chairs. It provides a lovely getaway to all that Northern Michigan has to offer!


    GUEST INTERACTION:

    The property owners live on the first floor and are available to address any questions or issues. They also co-ordinate check-in.


    NEIGHBORHOOD:

    Lake Ann is a cute little northern Michigan town that has a very quaint old-time general store, a microbrewery, post office, and several cute shops and restaurants. The lake itself is quite beautiful and serene and there are nature trails that run along it as well as public parks on the lake. The geographic location of Lake Ann makes it great central point for exploring Traverse City to the east, the Leelanau Peninsula to the north, Sleeping Bear Dunes to the northwest, and Crystal Lake, Beulah, Frankfort, Elberta, and Lake Michigan beaches to the west. All of these locations are within a 45-minute drive from the cottage!


    THE SPACE:

    The apartment is very traditional in terms of décor with an up-north country theme throughout the apartment. The apartment is dog-friendly and up to 2 dogs are permitted with a pet fee. There are some trails on the property for walking dogs as well.

    The property owners are a lovely retired couple that live on the first floor of the house. The husband works part-time as a church pastor. They coordinate guest stays. (We provide you with their contact information after a reservation is made.)


    TRANSIT:

    Public transportation in the area is limited, so it is highly recommended that guests have their own vehicle.


    PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

    1) PET POLICY: The apartment is pet-friendly and up to 2 dogs are allowed. (Pit bulls, rottweilers, and cats are not permitted.) Dogs must not be left alone in the apartment by themselves though. If bringing 1 or 2 dogs, please make certain that they are included on the reservation and that the pet fee is appropriately paid. More than 2 dogs is strictly prohibited and any pets other than dogs are also strictly prohibited.

    2) LIMITED AIR CONDITIONING: Please note that there is a window A/C unit for the bedroom, but that this will not cool the entire apartment. Outside of the bedroom, the apartment may get warm if it is warm outside.

    3) EARLY CHECK-IN: Our policy is to allow early check-in on the day of arrival if the property is available for check-in. We will not know until the day before arrival whether or not the property will be available for early check-in or not. You can check with our local property manager the day before arrival or on your arrival day to see if the property will be available for early check-in or not.

    4) LATE CHECK-OUT: We maintain a very strict and structured cleaning schedule. As such, late check-outs are strictly prohibited.

We had a wonderful stay. Char and Dick are wonderful hosts. There was a place to walk the dog and watch the stars. A great balcony to have morning coffee. Nearby Lake Ann has nightly outdoor music through the summer The extraordinary Sleeping Bear Dunes is 22 minutes away. There are a steps to go up to the apartment, so keep that in mind, but it was very manageable for us. We are so grateful to have found this affordable and comfortable spot.

The owners of the property live downstairs and are friendly, kind, and as accomodating as they can possibly be. The only warning I will give renters is that this is a small kitchen and cooking supplies are minimal as a result. I only saw 3 fry pans and 2 small sauce pans in the pictures so I brought a few items from my kitchen with me (my soup pot and, of course, my instant pot). It all worked out great. Just keep it in mind if you plan on cooking in. This was a good stay with good people on the property. They give you all the respect and privacy you could want.

Perfect for Our Stay

There was a snafu with communication and resulted in having to wait a few extra hours to check in. It was fine, though a little inconvenient. But after that little snafu, everything was great! It was a nice location, especially for the price. Once we got past the initial issue, the place was clean, comfortable, felt safe and secure, and was in a very nice up north-type area. It was perfect for our stay!

I booked this home last minute and felt very safe as a single female! The place was easy to find, with clear check-in/check out instructions. This is the sweetest home with the sweetest owners!! You can tell they are very thoughtful and considerate, stocking the place with coffee, little treats, toiletries, and more. Communication was extra speedy and simple through text. I traveled by myself but the same was large enough with separate rooms and lovely covered outdoor patio. Looking forward to staying here again.

​A True "Home Away from Home" Near Sleeping Bear Dunes

​Our stay at 'Emanuel' was an absolute dream and a perfect retreat from our everyday lives. From the moment we arrived, our hosts, Char and Duck, made us feel like part of their extended family. Their warmth, helpfulness, and accommodating nature were truly exceptional. ​The apartment itself is a lovely, comfortable, and cozy haven. We were so impressed by the thoughtful touches, from the charming decorations to the nice candies that welcomed us. It was the perfect base for our adventures. ​The location is ideal for anyone looking to explore the breathtaking beauty of the region. We had the freedom to bike and were just a short distance from Empire, the fabulous M-22 scenic byway, and the magnificent trails, beaches, and dunes of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. ​A special and heartfelt thank you goes to their daughter, Gayle. She was incredibly gracious and giving with her time, watching over our two Australian Shepherds, Oakley and Rocky, who can be a handful! She walked them on the beautiful, nearly 5-acre property, which gave us such peace of mind to explore. ​We are so grateful to Char, Duck, and Gayle for sharing their incredible home and property with us. It was more than just a place to stay; it was a home away from home where we felt genuinely cared for. We cannot recommend this wonderful retreat highly enough!
