About
We’re perched on top of a hill overlooking Arbutus Lake in northern Michigan. We are on the edge of Brown Bridge Quiet Area, a large preserve with great hiking. We’re also a short drive to Traverse City - about 15 mins.
Guests will park in a side driveway in front of a detached garage with a view of the woods. Access to the lake directly on our property may be available, but is down a long flight of stairs and will depend on our use of the dock.
Can fill water if needed.
Suggested Local Attractions:Arbutus chain of lakes, Brown Bridge Quiet Area, Boardman River, Vasa Trail, Sand Lakes, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, Leelanau Peninsula, Old Mission Peninsula

House Rules
Dogs must be fully vaccinated and well socialized. We have two dogs on the property. The yard is not fenced. Our dogs have an invisible fence, so they will be running “free”, but their range will not include your space.
Generator use is okay, but we ask to use it as minimally as you need. Please restrict generator use to 9am-8pm.
Please take your trash with you. We don’t have a dumpster. We generate minimal trash and use pre-paid “red bags” that are available at local grocery stores, if you purchase your own bag, we can take it down to the curb with ours on Monday.
Direct access to the lake is on a case by case basis, ask us when you arrive. It’s a small space, if we’re not using it during your stay, you’re welcome to enjoy the dock & lake.
