Also the hot tub which was shared was never overcrowded. Would definitely recommend to others as a nice place to stay. There was plenty of room in the cabin for myself, my 9 year old daughter and her two 16 year old girlfriends. ##### Mark M.

We enjoyed our week thoroughly. We ventured to Sleeping Bear Dunes, rented a pontoon boat with Arbutus Lake Rentals (easy peasy and made for an awesome day on the lakes) and we ventured to Leland for Fishtown and Vans Beach. Great communication with the host! We also enjoyed the hot tub which wasnt there the last time we stayed. ![Sunset from our boathouse stay.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6de613b3-6af6-46ef-9a5c-c507a4d108c0-1754775910275.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Loon on Arbutus.
