About this property
Arbutus Lake Cottage
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.

Why they chose this property
This property is great because of its proximity to downtown. Only 10 mins from downtown Traverse City. If you need to relax, the resort and Arbutus lake are so peaceful, feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. If you forget a cold drink or need ice cream, the party store is a mile down the road. Note: we are on well water being on the lake, which is safe to consume but bottled or filtered water may be preferred for drinking.
