Lake side cabin rentals in Arbutus Lake

The cottage was cute and spotless. The beds were comfortable, including nice sheets and it had everything that we needed. We stayed during the winter so didn’t get to utilize the lake but it’s close to the house and looks like it would be awesome during the summer. It’s only a 17 min drive to Crystal Mtn.

We had a lovely stay! The cottage was so cute and I just loved how they decorated it! We absolutely loved the hot tub and used it every day! We decided to walk down to the beach through all the snow, would love to stay in the summer when we can actually go swimming!! Ate at Peegeos twice during our stay, so close and so good, get the cheesecake! So delicious and made from scratch! We will definitely be back!

Lisa's place is beautiful with a great private location. We loved seeing the wildlife in the yard. The place was so clean and has everything you need to enjoy your stay there. Lisa responds promptly if u have any questions. I would highly recommend this place.

Was very nice to get away and just relax. There was a storm hitting the area and very cold and windy but the home was very comfortable. Felt at home and will definitely be back over the summer!

Great, quite location. Well equipped and clean. Our dog loved the big yard to run while we relaxed on the nice deck. It's very dark at night, take a big basket for all the stars. Loved it, thanks Michelle

The cottage was the perfect location for my getaway weekend with friends! Not only was it serene and quiet, it was picturesque. The location is just outside of Traverse City for those looking to travel there. Inside was cozy and welcoming. The space itself is curated for connection with the big screen movie projector, game room, multiple board games and fully functional kitchen; not to mention it's right on the water with an outdoor shower. The space needed to be warmed with a few space heaters, but there were more than enough to keep us toasty through the chilly evenings. I would gladly come back to the cottage!

This was our first repeat Airbnb experience, we enjoyed Laurie’s place that much! It’s peaceful and the lake is lovely, no matter the time of year. Close to Short’s brewing and Schuss mountain, not far from Boyne, it’s quiet but still well located to have a great up north adventure. It’s also well stocked with toys and books, which is a great plus for our family! And Laurie is super responsive and kind. We might stay a third time!

We (and our dogs) had an amazing time at Nathan's beautiful home. The setting is ideal—the house is right on the water, the amenities are fantastic, and the neighborhood is beautiful and serene. The house has everything you would want. There is a sweet deck and outdoor area along with a dock and your own private beach—the next house in either direction is almost a half-a-mile away. The perimeter around the house is essentially fully-fenced, which allowed us to swim, paddle board, and hang outside with the pups without worries. Nathan is a great host: He checked in throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. He provided clear instructions about the house and its features, as well as great local recommendations. We really can't say enough great things about our stay. It was by far the most peaceful and relaxing trip we've had and look forward to coming back soon!

We loved staying at this house! It was gorgeous for a little fall getaway, and even warm enough that we were able to take kayaks onto the lake! Check in was super easy, and the house had everything we needed. Kate was very helpful for any questions we had and gave us some great recommendations. Such a cute place in a great location for lots of the local tourism as well!

My wife and I had a few days off for a fall break. Dennis' place was a perfect spot. The drive there and the surrounding woods were vibrant with color. The place was comfortable, well-suited for a short or long stay, and was stocked with plenty to do. The short path to the lake is great, and the dock provides a lovely view. We spent hours just sitting on the dock chairs reading. We were fortunate to have beautiful sunny days. We took the short drive into Traverse City to go to Trattoria Stella, one of our very favorite restaurants. We also took a short hike out back to connect to the Mt Minnie trail and thoroughly enjoyed that hike. Being minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes, Empire, and Franfort was a perfect location. Our last evening, we went 15 minutes to Peterson Beach and watched the sun set and stayed to watch all the stars emerge in the darkness. It was amazing! We didn't, but we could have built a fire there on the beach.. We hope to return. Thanks Dennis!

This was an incredible experience. Brenden helped me out when I was in a panic about where to stay after a previous reservation had fallen through. Very easy to communicate with and was very accommodating. The property was beautiful and house was clean. Garage was spacious and rooms were perfect for guests we had. The only bummer was the rain all weekend to not enjoy the outdoors/lake but the company was good! Would highly recommend not only this property but Brenden as a host!

Charming cottage and incredible location. Joe was extremely helpful with recommendations and great tips to make our stay extra special.

Beautiful lake home. Everything is very nice & comfortable. We enjoyed the getaway very much. Loved looking at the peaceful lake. The updates are very tastefully done. Looks like a lot of time invested into every detail. It’s well stocked-lots of games too. Restaurants, stores, ice cream all within 5 miles. Highly recommend for R&R on a big lake. Thank you!

Such a cute little cottage and perfect for our girls getaway. We will consider coming back in the future. It’s pretty unassuming when you drive up, but the inside of the house is so cute. We also couldn’t figure out how to turn on the gas fireplace, but that wasn’t a huge deal! Definitely recommend.

Great little spot with beautiful surroundings. Easy entry, clean and pet friendly. Great communication from the host.

Tom's place is absolutely beautiful! It is conveniently located, but lots of privacy! We love being able to walk the road with our fur baby's (especially after the snow). Such a wonderful peaceful getaway. We even discovered a new flavor of coffee that Tom provided for the keureg! Tom is very responsive and a wonderful host! We hope to be back soon!!

We had a great time staying here for our ATV trip! Location was great! Host was great at responding to any question I had.

This was a fantastic stay. Everything was clean, well equipped, and so comfortable. The scenery was absolutely beautiful as well! Danielle was an amazing host, extremely friendly and very accommodating. I couldn’t ask for a better experience and will definitely be back!

Such an adorable cabin. Everything is there that you'd need and more. Cozy, warm and inviting. We were in a predicament, and Erin came to our rescue. We couldn't have been happier.

This was a great spot for me and a couple of buddies to stay for a trip to Arcadia Bluffs Golf Course. Would highly recommend to anyone coming into the area for events!

We had a wonderful and restful time at Krista’s and were lucky to have the entire place to ourselves for three days. The resort is rustic and exactly what you’d expect in a cabin. The lodge was well-supplied with movies, games and other fun entertainment. The grounds are lovely and the lake is a delight to swim in. There were canoes available, as well as a couple of paddle boats. Lots of great fishing and some sweet, friendly turtles. I could see this as a great place for family reunions. Lots for the kids to do. Really, the kind of place where you make memories. We will be back! Thanks, Krista!

Very cozy, peaceful cabin. Had a wonderful fenced in area for our dog to run. We really enjoyed the country surroundings, watching wildlife and taking hikes in the woods. It was a great place to destress and reconnect with family. We’re looking forward to our next visit.

Looking for a place that exceeds every single one of your expectations?! If so, book this place now. I booked it for a quiet, relaxing weekend for my bachelorette party with my Moms, sisters, and Aunt/Cousin. It was stunning and perfect. Brook and the rental company were always available - even before you knew you needed them! I always take my own sheets and pillow because….well, I’m a clean freak (that’s putting it moderately), but I didn’t use any of them. The laundry, bedding, and everything was so clean and neat, I didn’t feel the need to impose my own belongings where I normally would. The hot tub was an added bonus and we got our share of use out of it. My sister works for a pool/spa company and commented on how well cared for the spa was!! And just the overall layout - absolutely gorgeous in the fall. Book with Brook. You won’t want to leave, and you won’t leave disappointed.

Fantastic place, I really liked the decor as it wasn’t like a classic log cabin but was more modern. The kitchen was very nice and location was great for fishing on the manistee. I highly recommend it!
