Wake up to calm water and the sound of loons calling across the lake. The Loons’ Nest blends modern comfort with Up North charm — the perfect retreat for families, couples, and friends to relax, reconnect, and enjoy Michigan’s four beautiful seasons.

Set on 100 feet of private, flat Lake Ann frontage, this all-sports lake invites you to swim, paddle, or set off on boating adventures right from your own private dock.
