This is our new favorite place to stay when visiting Traverse City. The cottage was adorable and very clean. The hosts were wonderful, helpful & very accommodating. I would highly recommend to anyone and if you need additional rooms, let the hosts know because there are other cottages close by they can help you with!

Small quiet place only 20 minutes from Traverse city.

I chose this cottage because of the large shared sandy beach and the playground right outside our door. The grandkids loved the old-school type playground, making new friends, kayaking, the sandy beach, and the gentle hills (for riding down on bikes). The quiet Pineview Resort is set in among beautiful tall trees--very refreshing. Located on a section of the lake that is no-wake, it is always calm and quiet, so you can kayak or fish anytime. We rented a jet ski while there, which we idled through our section of the lake and into the next section, where power boating is allowed. The cottage is rather small, but comfortable, and the extra large picnic table is great for eating outside. It was really nice to have all the linens included; loved the really nice soft bath towels. Also really appreciated that Sandee would write me back quickly whenever I had questions. Would definitely recommend this spot!

Cottage was perfect for our family of 4 adults and 2 kids. Owners very friendly and accommodating. Lake was clear and clean. Perfect for fishing, kayaking. Kids loved their bunk beds, the playground out front, the sandy beach and fishing off the dock. We all loved the bonfires each evening. Great location … visited Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City area.

Great Time

The cozy little brown cottage didn’t disappoint for the second year in a row. We love the location right at the park for the kids to play. We can’t wait for our next stay!!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this property. Had most items that we needed and the owner and surrounding neighbors are great! Really made you feel at home.

We had a great time staying in this comfy and well-equipped home. Very bucolic and peaceful, with a nice beach on Arbutus Lake a short walk down the street. An easy drive away from Traverse City restaurants and other attractions.

First time in traverse city. Conveniently located to multiple places of interest. Very clean location. Extremely nice property manager. Easy communication. Definitely will return.

The home is nice and clean. There is a playground right out in front of the house and the kids loved it. We went ice fishing and it was a short walk to the water. We would stay here again.

Just a heads up: if you use your phone for directions, this property is in Kingsley not Traverse City. This would have saved us 40 minutes travel time had we known. The cottage is quite small to comfortably accommodate 10 guests as is advertised. There is one very small bathroom and that is where the only mirror is located. This makes it difficult for people to get ready while someone was showering. The location was beautiful with the snow, and I am sure even more beautiful in the summer.

Everything you need is there. Very clean. Comfortable beds!

This is the 3rd year in a row coming to Pineview Resorts but the first year staying at this place. This cottage was perfect for my family. The bunk beds were perfect for my 3 year old who was ecstatic to sleep in the top bunk! The park right outside the front door was also convenient for her to play at daily. Beach well kept as it is every year. Cottage had all the essentials for our week trip! We plan to come back every summer to this place (if available ;))

Tom and Sandy made our stay even more excellent via special welcoming of providing a river kayaking trip and even a pontoon boat sunset cruise for our family of nine .

The cottage was very cute and clean! Nice accommodations including the nice bonfire area outside the cottage. My grandkids loved the bunk beds! The smiley swing was a big hit and a big advantage was having a playground in your front yard! This was a Very enjoyable and peaceful experience.

Beautiful clean cottage. Shows it sleeps 10 people but only 1 can shower and wish there was a walk way to the front door to avoid all that sand to come into the cottage and shoes.
