A wonderful Arbutus Lake vacation
We had a wonderful stay. So many friendly people in the neighborhood. We had one small glitch with the oven breaker and the owner responded to my message within 30 seconds and we had it back working in under two minutes. Nice cottage with all the amenities. Would definitely stay again :)

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!

Peaceful, charming spot on Arbutus Lake
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!

Wonderful Week!!
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.
