Nice secluded cabin that is not too far from Traverse City or the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. Seems recently renovated, furnished with everything needed for a weekend stay.

We loved our week at Lake Arbutus. The day on the pontoon was the best! We also enjoyed a couple of days at the beach across from the state park.

Really enjoyed the pontoon we rented. Spent the whole day on the lake. Very close to the wineries and other Traverse City attractions.

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was clean and had a lake view from 2 windows and the patio. A/C cooled the entire cabin. Everyone was friendly.

Property was very clean and cozy. Perfect if you want a very upgraded nature/camping feel in a quaint, modern 2 person cabin. Nestled in an extended cul-de-sac by a little lake. Very peaceful.

This was a really cute place to stay for the weekend. Traverse City was close by but we ate local one of the days. I would say it was like a hotel room on the lake. The only reason for the 4 stars...the online listing was because it said it slept 50 and that the check in/out time was different then what it said.

These units are nicely remodeled. The one we stayed in was smaller, but not too bad for just 2 of us. We rented a Pontoon for the day, felt the price was a bit high but we wanted to enjoy the lake so it was worth it. Unit was clean and well appointed. Thank you.

We came up to Traverse City for winetasting and golf. This cute little cabin had everything we needed to relax at night and was only about 20-30 minutes from downtown. We walked over to the shared dock and enjoyed the lake every day. Other cabins in the area were under construction while we were there, but I like what the owners are doing with the place. The remodels look really nice and up-to-date. We had a small incident and owner was responsive and easy to work with.

My husband, our two dogs, and I stayed here during our weekend trip to Traverse City. This house is ~20 minutes from downtown TC, and the drive is super easy. The house is clean and accurately described. There are RV spots and other homes directly around this house, so it is very much a lake community vibe. It was very quiet all weekend and had no concerns with the people surrounding us. Perfect amount of space for 2 people and their pets.

This little community of cabins are nicely spaced. Giving it a vacation oasis. Probably a group of 10. Some are still in the process of being updated. The finishes are so wonderfully modern. The bed is simple but oh so comfy. Slept like a baby. Woke refreshed. You can stay and chill or wonder out and come back to relax. The only thing missing was a larger frying pan and some hooks or coat rack at the front door for fall and winter. Definently enjoyed my stay

Lovely spot. Enjoyed kayaking, visiting family and the beaches of Grand Traverse Bay. Cabin clean, comfy, and cozy. Nice little kitchen. My only complaint was there is no place to hang a coat, open a suitcase, or put toiletries.

My husband and I plus our dog stayed here for our minimoon and we had the best time! It was perfect for us 3 and it had a great view of the water and it was such a short little walk to sit near the water on a deck. It was so peaceful and our dog loved the location too! Would highly recommend :)!

Spare towels and extra blankets would be a good idea for longer/chilly nights.
