About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A cozy getaway nestled in the woods of Northern Michigan.

Experience the charm of our freshly renovated A-Frame nestled in the serene woods, just a short 10-minute drive from downtown Lake Ann and Interlochen. Across the street, you'll find public access to Bronson Lake, and down the road lies the Platte River, renowned for world-class fishing. If you crave the rustic allure of dirt roads and the tranquility of escaping the hustle and bustle, this is the perfect getaway for you!

Our A-Frame offers a peaceful and secluded retreat while remaining centrally located to all the adventures Grand Traverse and Leelanau counties have to offer. The property backs up to a sprawling 200+ acre nature preserve with scenic hiking trails, and it's less than a 30-minute drive to Empire, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Frankfort, and Traverse City.

We dedicated over a year to meticulously renovating this A-Frame, revamping it from the ground up to create a comfortable haven for our guests. Mini-split heating and cooling systems ensure your year-round comfort. While our Wi-Fi isn't blazing fast, it's sufficient for streaming Netflix. The cabin accommodates up to four guests, with one bedroom featuring a king-size bed that features a TV and a sound machine and a loft boasting two cozy built-in twin beds that also features a sound machine. The space is rich with charming nooks and crannies, and thoughtfully adorned with tasteful decor.

Step outside onto the expansive deck in the large outdoor space, complete with a firepit and charcoal grill for relaxing evenings under the stars.

Convenience and security are paramount, with smart locks granting easy access to the house.

We remain readily available to you throughout your stay via VRBO messaging, with an average response rate of under 1 hour. Our phone number is also provided to you during check-in for any urgent requests or emergencies.

Although our A-Frame is just a short drive from Lake Ann, it maintains a secluded ambiance. Expect a picturesque journey across narrow bridges and along dirt roads to reach us.

Parking is abundant in this woodsy neighborhood on a peaceful dirt road. Given our woodland setting, the occasional encounter with a stray bug is part of the rustic experience.

If you're planning a winter stay, bear in mind that Northern Michigan is Old Man Winter's homeland. Roads can get slippery and may go unplowed, and events could be rescheduled or canceled. We strongly recommend arriving with a well-prepared vehicle equipped with all-wheel drive or snow tires.

Please note that we have a Nest home doorbell/camera for added security during your stay.
Quiet hours are from 10 pm to 8 am.
No smoking inside the property.
No pets.

We are not liable for any accidents or injuries.
- Do not use the hot tub if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- No children under the age of 6
- No pets, pee, or procreation allowed in the tub
- Consult a physician before you use if you are pregnant or have health concerns
- Stay hydrated before getting into the hot tub

Our new favorite place
We started feeling sad about leaving halfway into our trip because we loved it so much. This is exactly what we were hoping for- a little oasis in Michigan. There are plenty of options of activities in the surrounding area but we found ourselves just wanting to stay in the cabin to soak up the relaxing, comfy vibes. Everything in the listing seemed too good to be true but it completely lived up to the hype. The owners really thought through what you could want or need! We absolutely loved our stay and wish we were still there :)

Relaxing NYE Stay
We really enjoyed our time at the cabin! We just wanted to get away from it all and chill out up north for NYE. We booked the trip bc the cabin is very cute/modern/clean but the main character in this story was the hot tub! We were a bit disappointed that the shower tub was not completely clean but everything else seemed to be clean and on point.

Fabulous Stay
We stayed for the weekend while dropping off our daughter at Interlochen Arts School! We looked at tons of properties and this one stood out. So beautiful, very well stocked, clean and in great shape.

Interlochen gem
My family and I had a wonderful stay at RnR aframe! Beautiful secluded cabin in the cutest town. Cleanliness and attention to decor details, stocked perfectly, unmatched by other locations. Would love to stay again. 7 days in Michigan at various places, riding the dunes, beach days, etc…my 13 year old when asked what her favorite part of the trip…her answer “the cabin” and we couldn’t agree more. It was perfect.

Great home in the woods.
If you are looking a home in the woods for your next vacation, this is the place for you. Close enough to all the great towns and sites at Sleeping Bear Dunes and very quiet at night.
