7 Bedroom House in Lake Ann
🧚♂️ Welcome to The Dragonfly Nest – A Rare Lakefront Retreat in the Heart of Northern Michigan
As a new property, please check out the reviews of our hosts in their profiles, Jas and Sue, so you can feel confident of the level of attention and care we put into our homes. We invite you to be one of the first guests of The Dragonfly Nest.
Gracefully nestled on the peaceful shores of Lake Ann, **The Dragonfly Nest** is more than a vacation home—it’s an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and embrace life’s beautiful transitions. Just as the dragonfly symbolizes lightness and change, this 7-bedroom, 4-bath lakefront haven offers space to breathe, play, and reflect, in every season. Updated pictures coming soon with all new funiture, bedding and select property updates!
✧ Where Nature Nurtures the Soul
Step outside to 100 feet of **private, sandy lake frontage**. Here, children laugh as they wade into clear, shallow waters, and loons serenade your early morning paddles. Glide across the lake in a kayak or soak up the sun with a line in the water. By evening, gather by the lakeside firepit for stories and s’mores beneath a canopy of stars—each flicker of flame a reminder to live in the moment. This is an all sports lake, so bring your boat or rent one locally!
The expansive **1,250-square-foot deck** stretches your living space outdoors, offering panoramic views that shimmer with light—just like the iridescent wings of the dragonfly.
✧ Designed for Comfort & Connection
Inside, you’ll find a home that balances **space and serenity**. Seven thoughtfully arranged bedrooms and four full bathrooms provide ample room for families, groups and bridal parties to spread out. The chef’s kitchen, anchored by a commercial-grade Wolf range, is perfect for cooking memorable meals—whether you're crafting a farm-fresh brunch or preparing a celebratory dinner.
Wake slowly with a cup of coffee gazing through the double doorwalls. Share laughter over board games at the table. Settle in with a good book in a cozy corner. Every detail at The Dragonfly Nest encourages you to **be present, be light, be free.**
✧ A Hidden Gem, Perfectly Positioned
Located **12 miles west of Traverse City**, The Dragonfly Nest blends tranquil seclusion with easy access to Northern Michigan’s top attractions. Stroll to the Lake Ann Brewing Co. for live music under twinkle lights or visit The Bread Lady for warm muffins and home-baked bread that taste like childhood.
Hit the iconic M-22 scenic drive, climb the Sleeping Bear Dunes, or sip your way through the Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsula wine trails. From skiing at Crystal Mountain or The Homestead to summer sunsets on Lake Michigan, you're never far from magic.
✧ A Space for All Seasons
Like the dragonfly—graceful in motion across water and air—this home adapts beautifully to every season:
**Summer**: Swim, fish, paddle, and play in the sun.
**Fall**: Hike through golden trails and sip cider beneath vibrant maples.
**Winter**: Cozy up after a day of skiing or snowshoeing.
**Spring**: Watch new life bloom around you as the lake awakens.
