Historical home, the Burnett Nestt in the heart of Lake Ann

You'll love this beautiful gardened setting within walking distance to Lake Ann Village, 15 minutes to Traverse City, minutes to Leelanau County & the National Shoreline. Your Burnett Nestt is an upper level, fully furnished 2 room apartment including a lovely covered porch, private entrance & foyer. Businessman, S.S. Burnett, was the original owner of the home and it was moved in 1902 from Ransomville (down Lake Ann RD) after 3 fires demolished the thriving village.

Wonderful Nest!

This beautiful property in Lake Ann village is perfect for whatever you want to do in the area. This trip was a family visit from my niece. The nest is delightfully decorated and has everything you need!

Lake Ann

This property is absolutely gorgeous and the apartment is charming, comfortable and very clean. The private front porch is dreamy. Lake Ann is a cute little village with a coffee shop, brewery and restaurant a short walk away. It was the perfect location for a trip up to Traverse City one day and Sleeping Bear Dunes another day. We loved this place!

Lovely home & community

We had a wonderful stay! The home was clean and comfortable, and we especially loved relaxing on the lovely porch. The neighborhood is a perfect example of small-town America—peaceful, friendly, and welcoming. We enjoyed visiting a local restaurant with live music next door, which added a special touch to our trip.It was a bit warm our first night with no A/C in the bedroom, but the host responded promptly and installed a window unit the next morning. That made our second and third nights much more comfortable, and we really appreciated the quick resolution. Overall, a great stay in a charming community!

Nice place close to Lake Ann and Traverse City

The unit was well represented in the pictures. It's two rooms that includes a small kitchen and bathroom. It was perfect for my staying visiting in laws on the west side of Traverse City, which was only about 18 minutes away. The unit is literally within a few hundred feet of downtown Lake Ann, which included a nice brewery with live entertainment. The location is perfect if you like to hike. There are a number of trails close by. The landscaping and the front porch were well done. I enjoyed hanging out and reading for a bit. I will likely be staying here again.

A Beautiful, Warm, & Eclectic Stay

We stayed here for three nights, which was the final leg of our eight-night trip back to our home state. Although we didn't spend much time on the property while traveling the area, we thoroughly enjoyed the time we did spend there. The place has everything, very well decorated, a bit funky, and lots of fun. Barb was very accommodating and wished we could have spent a bit of time with her, but via text, she was very responsive. So many nice touches, both inside and out on the wrap-around porch. We had been hoping to do our lodging in Traverse City when setting the trip up a few months back, but due to the Fourth, there were slim pickings. As it turned out, this was the better pick! In terms of location, probably more central than TC when it comes to visiting the overall area. So - there has to be one negative, right? I'm including TC with this as well, there just aren't many breakfast places, we never saw one! :)

Excellent place!

Barb was an excellent host and this place is exactly as described! Great location in that it is central to everything around like Traverse City, Leland, Suttons Bay, etc. and walking distance to a brewery, restaurant with outdoor seating and live music, and an ice cream stand. It was perfect for us, not cramped at all, and a great set up in a beautifully maintained yard and garden. Would definitely rent again when in the area.

Outstanding stay in the Burnett Nestt

The host, Barb, went above and beyond. She was very welcoming and her communication skills were excellent. She also provided us with several restaurant recommendations and tips. There is a great coffee house just a 5-minute walk from the Nestt. The amenities and decor exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend staying at this adorable, quaint, private apartment. We hope to visit again!

Wonderful visit

The property is very attractive, beautiful gardens, wonderful porch to sit and enjoy. The bed was very comfy and the apartment was tastefully decorated. The Village of Lake Ann has a general store that has just about anything that you would need/want. There is a little beach on Lake Ann that was quite cute. Lake Michigan was only about 12 miles away and there were a couple of beaches that we went to, located in Sleeping Bear Dunes national park. Barb Hood, the owner was very accommodating! Definitely would recommend this property.
