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.

We come up to TC every year for Cherry Fest! This by far is our favorite spot! We spent most of our days cruising Arbutus or playing on the beach. Would definitely stay here again!
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
This is a smallish 3-bedroom cabin a stone's throw away from a beautiful lake. Don't expect luxury dwellings! The interior felt like it was lacking some natural light and the bathroom was cramped, even for us city people who are used to tight bathrooms. But the space was clean and functional, appliances were in good working order, we loved the porch which faced the water, and it was quiet and serene. The a/c worked very well, for those who are traveling in the summer.

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.
