Boathouse on Arbutus Lake | Cottage in Traverse City

2 Bedroom Cottage in Mayfield, Traverse City
Escape to this rustic and updated lakefront resort on all-sports Arbutus Lake, just 20 minutes from downtown Traverse City! This unit has two separate bedrooms with a lofted bunk bed that requires a climb up a ladder to access. Come ready to unplug as this unit has spotty wi-fi at best. This pet friendly space is perfect for families and groups. Be prepared for action-this unit is at the waterfront right in the heart of the resort. This is not the space for folks seeking quiet and privacy. You will have access to sandy beachfront, docks, rental boats (inquire about availability) and lake views with interiors designed for modern comfort.
