Awesome house for family stay on lake arbutus , able to rent pontoon from Ben of boats up north that worked great with dock and paddle boards, house well appointed and had no issues with stay .

Nice little lake house and the lake was beautiful. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions that we had.

My family and I had a wonderful stay together for a week in August. House is decorated very nicely and had all the amenities we needed for our stay. The fridge is a little smaller than the average home but we made it work with no problems. The road in between the beach and the cottage did have some car traffic throughout the day but drivers were attentive and drove slowly so we were not too concerned with our kids going back and forth. The lake itself was absolutely perfect, clean, quiet (this section of arbutus had very little boat traffic and was no wake) with very friendly neighbors. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to all.

Great cabin on Lake Arbutus. We had a wonderful time exploring the area and enjoying everything ‘Little Blue’ had to offer. The cabin is tastefully decorated with a ‘homey’ feel. The kitchen is very well equipped. We appreciated the nice dishes and serving pieces. We really liked having both coffee makers. We also appreciated that common spices/condiments were stocked; we added to the collection. The ‘Welcome’ card and bottle of wine were a nice touch. The beds were comfortable, and it was nice to be able to do laundry and go home with suitcases full of clean clothes. The kayaks and paddleboard were a hit and used every day. Thank you for supplying wood for our nightly fires. We spent a lot of time on the front porch watching the kids fish with the fishing rods that were in the deck box. We spent time in Traverse City and Glen Arbor which were just a short drive from the cabin. Our hosts Enrico and Reham were amazing and very responsive. They answered lots of questions we had about the area and provided suggestions on things to do and places to go. We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic stay, host and house! Beautiful lake, neighborhood, and hiking.

This was a super cozy, charming, little cottage right on the lake. It was perfect for the 7 of us. It’s decorated super cute with a fully stocked kitchen and very clean. It’s so great because almost every room of the house has an amazing view of the lake. The three season room on the upper level was a perfect additional space to relax and soak in the view of the sunset on the lake in the evenings. The beach had a firepit and all kinds of lake toys for use (paddle board, canoe and row boat) but it was too chilly for us to go in the water. The hosts Reeham and Enrico were great and very responsive. Anything we inquired about they responded right away. They even left a welcome gift for us which was so thoughtful. The cottage is a close and easy drive to downtown Traverse City and everything in the area, the wineries, trails, etc. We even took a day trip to the Sleeping Bear Dunes which was only about 45 minutes away. I would highly recommend this rental and we will definitely be back in the summer when we can take full advantage of the lake. Thanks for such a great stay!
