The Red Laker Cabin is a charming and traditional cabin right on Little Platte Lake! It is part of Twin Birch Resort and the rental includes full access to the resort's amenities, including your own rowboat and kayak! There is also a dock and firepit at the resort that is shared among all 4 cabins. The cabins are all technologically updated with high-speed and live streaming Roku television. This charming little lakefront cabin truly provides for a fun, peaceful, and relaxing getaway! NEIGHBORHOOD: The property is in a quiet neighborhood of lakefront homes and resorts, with Big Platte Lake on one side of the road and Little Platte Lake on the other side of the road. Boating, kayaking, and fishing are very popular on both lakes. Peterson Beach on Lake Michigan is also only 4.6 miles from the resort! Outside of the immediate area, the property is close to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake, Traverse City, and a lot of cute little beach towns in the area like Beulah, Frankfort, Empire, and Glen Arbor. There are all kinds of hiking trails in the area and outdoor activities of all kinds are very popular. The area truly provides for a great vacation getaway! GUEST ACCESS: Rental of the cabin includes full access to the resort's outdoor grounds and amenities! TRANSIT: It is recommended that guests have their own vehicle. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: (1) There is a flight of stairs from the cabin down to the lake, so accessibility may be an issue for some folks. (2) Guests are welcome to bring their own motors or rent one for use with the row boats. Crystal Lake Marina in Honor and Beulah rent boat motors. Motors should be 10 Horsepower or less and must be short shaft because Little Platte Lake is VERY shallow. (3) Fans are provided, but the cabin does NOT have air conditioning. (4) Peterson Beach on Lake Michigan is only 4.6 miles from the resort! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property located in a resort - Unit size: 700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Cottage (1 Bedroom) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93570000/93561100/93561051/2cbc9612.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rustic Suttons Bay Cottage: Shared Dock & Fire Pit Suttons Bay - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-14&endDate=2026-04-15&selected=93561051&PinnedHotelID=93561051&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cottage (1 Bedroom) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93570000/93561100/93561001/68baa7b1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Steps to Beach!
