ALL-Sport Arrowhead Lake Private Beach-Front Home
Whileaway Lakehouse: A Beautiful Lakefront Home Perfect for Making Memories!
Welcome to Whileaway Lakehouse, a stunning lakefront retreat overlooking ALL-SPORT Lake Arrowhead (also known as Buhl Lakes). This updated vintage lake house offers 2,700 square feet of living space and 174 feet of private lake frontage—plenty of room for the whole family to relax and play! With its ideal location, you can enjoy swimming, fishing, boating, ice fishing, and sledding, or simply unwind and take in the serene surroundings.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love the easy access to snowmobiling and ORV trails right outside the door, with ample driveway space for toy haulers. For ski lovers, cross-country trails and downhill ski resorts are just 15–20 minutes away. In the spring, you can hunt for morel mushrooms, and in the fall, take in the breathtaking foliage.
Community Amenities: Guests have access to a heated in-ground pool (open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day), a pavilion, multiple playgrounds, and a basketball court—all just a short walk from the house. Kids especially love these options! We also provide two kayaks, a paddle boat, an aluminum rowboat, and life jackets for lake adventures. You can fish right off the dock or jump into the lake for a swim. Two mountain bikes are also available for exploring the trails.
The cottage’s shoreline features a grassy area with a sandy-bottomed lake, perfect for wading. Relax in the hammock nestled among the trees, or enjoy the large lakeside paver patio with a bonfire pit for stargazing, sing-alongs, and marshmallow roasting.
Spacious and Comfortable: The home’s main floor features a 60-foot balcony with spectacular lake views, complemented by a matching lower-level patio. With two large family rooms on separate levels, there’s plenty of space for families or groups to spread out and enjoy their stay.
Bedrooms: Two upstairs bedrooms, each with a queen bed, open directly onto the deck through very large door walls, offering breathtaking views of the lake and direct outdoor access.
Two downstairs bedrooms, each with two twin beds, have large windows framing serene lake views.
A queen-size sofa bed in the lower-level family room provides additional sleeping space.
To ensure a restful stay, beds have been upgraded to luxury mattresses featuring brands such as Avocado Green, Ghost, and Nectar—because a good night’s sleep is essential for a great vacation.
Dining and Outdoor Spaces: The dining room is spacious enough to accommodate all guests, with additional outdoor seating available on the balcony and lower patio.
Prime Location: Whileaway Lakehouse is centrally located in Northern Michigan’s beautiful Arrowhead community, a private resort spanning 640 acres of forested land, lakes, and trails. You’ll also find:
Golf courses: 29 courses within 10–30 minutes Downhill skiing: Boyne Mountain, Nubs Nob, and Treetops within 15–60 minutes Other attractions: Boyne Mountain’s indoor water park, perfect for kids!
We’re just 15 minutes from downtown Gaylord, 30 minutes from Boyne City, 45 minutes from Petoskey, and about an hour from Traverse City and Mackinaw City. Make Memories at Whileaway!
Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, Whileaway Lakehouse offers the perfect setting for an unforgettable getaway. Come and experience the beauty, comfort, and fun for yourself!

We had a great time! This cabin has a lot to offer with the lake, pool, and everything provided including toys, movies, water toys, extra towels, etc. We will definitely be back.
We had an amazing time! The house was clean and comfortable and right on the water. The kids had a blast swimming, kayaking, and fishing all day and having campfires in the evenings. All in all a great time and we are looking forward to coming back in the future!
Situated on a private community lake, this house has an amazing view - perfect for a morning coffee on the balcony and a starlit sky for a campfire at night. The owner was extremely responsive and ensured we had everything to enjoy our stay. With 2 kids under 10, lake access and pool access made for great daytime fun while board games and books made a rainy day enjoyable too. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay at this beautiful family getaway.

Thank you!!! So nice to hear the positive reviews! They really make my day. Hope to see you guys again next summer, it would be my pleasure to host you again! ~Luciana
We had a fantastic time! The house was perfect. There were 8 adults. 2 Children. Lots to do around the area. Pool/playground was really nice. Awesome gulf courses. Would recommend this place. Host Luciana was a great host. Answered questions promptly. Would highly recommend this home.
We had a great stay at Lake Arrowhead! Our party of nine included 3 generations, with plenty of room for everyone. The kids spent most of their time on the water in the kayaks, paddle boat, and rowboat. The house was completely stocked with everything you could possible need, including sticks for roasting marshmallows, firewood, and hot chocolate pods for the Keurig. It was a great time!
The house was perfect for our family of four. There were plenty of linens and towels provided. The house had more than enough space and great views of the lake. The kitchen had everything we needed. We used the grill twice for dinner and it worked great. Our kids loved fishing off the dock. I would absolutely recommend the home to anyone heading to Michigan.
We had a great stay at this lake front home. When you walk into the cottage and see the view of the lake wow! Very clean, comfortable and well stocked. On the sunny days we were on the lake all day enjoying the kayaks and beach toys that were at the property! Luciana was a great host and responded very quickly to any requests we sent her. Even dumb questions like how to use the dishwasher lol. Would definitely recommend this property!!
It was a great place to stay and everything was clean and great

We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay! We'll look forward to seeing you again next summer. Don't forget that Whileaway Lakehouse is a year round rental...perfect for snowmobiling in the winter too!
Great spot..Great location...short trip to many ski resorts...plan on going back in the summer. Only complaint is the 10 am check out time....hard to get everybody packed and out..

We welcome you back anytime. Summer bookings are happening now. So sorry about the 10 am check out. It's hard to get a family ready! With a 4 bedroom house it takes awhile to be ready for the next guests. If I can ever change that I will.
We had such an amazing time at this property. The house was VERY clean and everything was in perfect working order. We cannot wait to come back in the summer.
