Relaxing Cottage on Arbutus Lake - Great Fishing & Swimming!
About this cottage rental
About 7 miles south of Traverse City just off Garfield Road. We are north of Kingsley, on the south end of Arbutus Lake. This property has many comforts of home and accommodates 4 people comfortably. The lake property has 400 ft. of private beach with a sandy bottom, a swim raft and buoys, five 30-ft docks, children's playground, basketball, horseshoes, barbecue gas grills and fire pits. If you are boating and/or fishing, the resort features a large boat house with private secured lockers, a screened-in fish-cleaning house with running water and a boat launch. This is also a great location if you are planning to take a fall color tour so don't limit yourself just to summer! Small pets are considered and renters are asked to clean up after them. This property is not handicap accessible. The heated vacation cottage has a newer interior, fully stocked kitchen with microwave, dishes, pots and pans, coffee maker and toaster. There are 2 queen-sized beds. The resort and cottage is secluded and quiet, located on wooded Arbutus Lake. Water recreation includes swimming, trophy fishing (small and large mouth bass, blue gill, perch, and pike), boating and water-skiing. Nearby recreation includes golf, tennis, hiking, bicycling, horseback riding and plenty of shopping.

The property was mostly good nice location and beach looked like it would have been nice in the summer. We had a little trouble sleeping the pillows were flat as pancakes. Also one of the beds was quite hard I think with a new mattress and pillows it would have been 4 stars for us good night sleep is pretty important. Also heat worked but bedroom with AC unit never seemed to warm up! All the dishes and other items of the rental were great! Thank you!

Kitchen well equipped. Ate several of our meals there. Enjoyed using the resort-owned kayaks. Grandchildren visited one day and we hosted another couple for dinner another evening. Resort could use better signage as to which water craft are available for guests' use. No laundry facilities on property. Yes, we would certainly return to this lovely lake cottage!

This was a great property for our family. We were able to make the drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes during the day, and return to the comfortable cottage for some evening relaxation. The kids loved the kayaks, the dog was obsessed with playing fetch in the lake, and the grown-ups just enjoyed the beautiful lake views. Thank you for providing such a wonderful place to make happy new memories.

First impression was very clean cottage, small but had everything you need! Waking up to lake views was very nice. Enclosed porch was a bonus & had a nice breeze! Not too far from downtown TC. We loved our stay & hope to come back next summer.

Cottage had almost everything we were looking for. I would have given you 5 stars but you really need to look into buying a window air conditioner. I know you have no control over the weather but we were unbearably uncomfortable especially at night trying to sleep. And the fans only in the bedroom just didn’t cut it. Even with the fans going and windows open there was no cross wind. Sorry to complain because everything else was so good. Very neat and clean. Lovely view of the lake from screened in porch.

We love staying in Scott & Crystals cabin. It’s very nice and well kept. We have stayed here at least six times and love to see the new touches they add each year. They try to think of everything you would need while staying there. I like how close we are to the beach, the boathouse, the docks for our boats and the fish house.
