Cozy Cabin

This was a cute cozy cabin not far from Arbutus lake. The property perfectly fit our family of 4 (two kids 15/11) The property owner provided 2 kayaks at the property but also had several at lake that were community property. The washer/dryer was so helpful. Despite a few hiccups (no trash bags, small leak during storm) that we experienced during our stay, Natalie was very accessible and made every attempt to fix the issue quickly and communicated along the way. We plan to stay again.

The no-stars on the communications part was because none were necessary. Was a little farther from downtown Traverse City than I expected but the lakes/kayaks right there on the compound made up for it.

good place to stay while in area for soccer tournament

House was a good size for the 4 of us. We were not there much, but enjoyed the lake during the evenings. Beautiful lake, nice to have a couple kayaks to use. Kayaks are heavy and it is a bit of work to haul them down to the lake and back. The house next door had 2 large dogs that barked awhile we were out in the yard and were barking at the lake at others in the area. As well as a large dog from the neighbors was running loose and did not interact well with the group of dogs while everyone was on the beach. This which was a slight disruption while trying to enjoy our minimal time at the property.

Beautiful location and cute cottage

The cottage was clean and very pleasant. You are maybe a couple hundred steps from the beach and steps to a nice playground for the kids.
