About this cabin rental

Beautiful 3 bedroom cabin on Arbutus Lake with shared 400' of sandy, private (resort guests and owners only) beach with private boat launch and docks. This little cabin is nestled right next to Brown Bridge Quiet Area with great year-round activities like boating, skiing, biking, and fishing. Don't be fooled with how quiet it is here, many activities and amenities of Traverse City are just down the road.
-Visit Lake Michigan or the Sleeping Bear Dunes
-Take a drive down one of the peninsulas for a wine tour
-Shopping and Restaurants - Downtown TC
-Kayaking down the Boardman River
-Floating down the Platte River


Our house comes with two kayaks, yet there are more shared kayaks at the beach on a designated shared kayak rack. Outdoor seating with fire pit, second fire pit on the beach.
Inside fireplace and A/C unit (window unit in the middle room). Sleeps 6 comfortable, 2 bedrooms have queens, the other room has two twins. Full-size gas range in the kitchen, microwave, coffee maker and K-Cup maker, and a full-size refrigerator and freezer. Rowboats and kayaks are available with the rental, feel free to bring a trolling motor or small hp outboard motor for the shared rowboats which are on the beach. A personal friend of ours rents brand new Tri-Toons in the area. He includes life vests and watersports gear, delivery, and a discount when my name is mentioned. (He is who I personally recommend, there are other rental outfits in the TC area) Please contact Max directly for pricing and availability.

Very cute,clean and cozy. Kitchen and living area are roomy. The listing is accurate. Communication with owner was excellent. Grille will need replacing in the future. I would make anyone who is handicap, which we are not, but there is a hill to go down to get to the lake. Last but not least the fishing was great.

I thought renting this property was easy, and appreciated that you got back to me with questions/information I had requested. Would definitely return to the area.
