A Little About Us.

established in 2018

Welcome to Little Red Homestead in Lake Ann, Michigan! Your hosts during your stay are Seth and Kelsey - think of us both as your concierge. In our previous lives we were a restaurateur, and an interior designer from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Needing a change from the busy city life, we started Little Red Homestead to share our love of northern Michigan with all of you.

We found the perfect ten acre property located in the most charming small town. The property itself is placed directly in a picturesque forest, right next to a horse farm for those idealistic views. The house and its coordinating wood shop were originally built by a master wood worker. We renovated the wood shop to house our guests in a modern farmhouse style, while keeping as much of the original structure as possible.

We love animals and have quite the crew of mischief makers. While here, you can meet Snuffleupagus, or Snuff for short, our self-appointed greeting squad. Snuffleupagus has basically been with us from the start as we added him to our family two short months after opening for business.

While Little Red Homestead is a newer venture for us, it has been a life long dream come true! Our goal is to offer our guests the luxuries of a hotel along with the charm of a bed and breakfast. Expansion is always on the horizon, so be sure to keep checking in to see what fun new things we have to offer. Our wish for you is that you can find the same peace and tranquility that we have found here in our little corner of the world!

We so look forward to your stay.

Seth and Kelsey

You will find that Lake Ann is centrally located for whichever type of northern Michigan vacation you choose to have. Lake Ann itself has a charming downtown and neighbors Interlochen and Traverse City, where you can find even more dining and entertainment venues.

We highly recommend checking out Traverse City. Here you will find wine trails, breweries, and restaurants along with high end shops, and boutiques.

Looking to get more in touch with nature? Try visiting Sleeping Bear Dunes, voted the most beautiful place in America. The park offers a dune climb, canoe trips, biking and hiking trails with scenic overlooks, as well as a lighthouse and museum to learn the history behind the area.

Glen Arbor and the surrounding Leland area are other quaint locations to visit. Here you can find more shops, wineries/distilleries, restaurants, and our favorite stop, historic Fishtown. From Fishtown you are able to hop onto the ferry that will bring you to the two uninhabited Manitou Islands. The options are truly endless!
