Or to reminisce on what the cottage looked like over 10 years ago, go to YouTube and search 'Wayberry Cottage'.


A Great Northern Michigan location close to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor, Crystal Lake, Frankfort.
TheWayberry Cottage, built in 2006, is a quiet retreat on 15 wooded acres surrounded by thousands of acres of forest. Located just 3 miles from the village of Lake Ann and 15 miles west of Traverse City, the Cottage offers up-north privacy and peacefulness with city conveniences nearby.

Approximately 10 miles west of the Cottage is Lake Michigan where you can explore all the beaches, water activities, sand dunes, and lighthouses Benzie County has to offer. Other area lakes are also within minutes of your enjoyment.

The Wayberry Cottage is beautifully modeled after Northern Michigan cottages from the early 1900s while embracing all the comforts and benefits of modern living. Whether spending your days sightseeing or playing golf at Mistwood, a 27-hole course only 3 minutes away, come back to enjoy the hot tub or just relax on the screened-in porch while reading a good book. The Wayberry is sure not to disappoint.

    We celebrated Christmas early at the Wayberry Cottage and we had the best time. Cottage was decorated for the holidays and had a cute tree set up in the basement. The entire property was very clean and even had snow outside! Host has a snow plow take care of the driveway which was very convenient. We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a nice get away.

    We had an amazing weekend at the Wayberry Cottage. Jennie was so friendly and inviting offering so much information and an easy experience with check in, making sure we were having a great time all the way through wishing us a safe travel home in a snow storm. The cottage is so lovely and spacious, the trees and the dirt road made for a beautiful chilly walk in nature and we finished the evening with a warm soak in the hot tub. We will definitely be back for another beautiful weekend!

    The property looked like the photos and was very clean. We had 6 female friends stay in the house and it worked out well. The hot tub felt great after doing a local Half Marathon. We really enjoyed the front porch and the peacefulness of the property. Only down side was the lack of dishwasher so we had to wash dishes by hand which wasn’t a big deal, but we wished we brought paper plates with us.

    Picture perfect setting! Beautiful and quiet location, perfect for our relaxing girls trip. We enjoyed staying in the home and playing games, sitting in the hot tub and by the campfire, as well as checking out local attractions and downtown Traverse City. It was just what we needed and we will definitely be back and hope to make this an annual trip!

    We all had a great stay and were very happy with the property. We played horseshoes, made s'mores one night, sat in the hot tub due to participating in the M22 challenge, and we all played a game or two of pool. Very nicely decorated with plenty of seating for many people. We only had 8 with us total, but 12 could easily be done as well.

    The cabin was beautiful and clean. The beds were comfortable. We stayed with a few soccer families for the weekend for a soccer tournament. We really enjoyed our stay and had plenty to do with the kids. They enjoyed the hot tub and playing cards and board games. We truly wish we had more time to stay and enjoy the quiet and peaceful area of the cabin.

    We loved everything about our stay at Wayberry Cottage. Its tucked quietly in the prettiest woods but still near so many great spots- beaches, restaurants, shops and the dunes! The space was perfect for our family and friends ranging across all ages. Highly recommend!!
