Lake Ann
The Dragonfly Nest and The Loons’ Nest, part of The Nest Collection, are tucked into the woods within walking distance of the quaint town of Lake Ann—perfect for stepping away from the hustle and bustle. While the setting feels wonderfully secluded, you’re still close to charming local amenities.
We recommend planning at least one evening in the village of Lake Ann. Call ahead to order dinner for pickup from Stone Oven, then head next door to Lake Ann Brewery to find a seat outdoors. They offer live music most summer nights along with beer, seltzers, and wine. When your food is ready, simply walk up to Stone Oven’s pickup window and bring it back to enjoy at the brewery.
Traveling with kids? They’ll love the park and ice cream shop just steps away—an easy, memorable evening for the whole family.
