Restful Cottage For 4 On Lake George Near Traverse Cit

Here is a quiet cottage that sleeps four nestled in the woods on tranquil, beautiful Lake George, a small lake situated between Arbutus Lake and Spider Lake. It is only 12 miles SE from downtown Traverse City, 9 miles from the airport. Access to the cottage is off a paved road. If you are looking for a place to rest and relax, this is it.

While Lake George is a non-wake, trolling motor only lake with no public access, both Spider and Arbutus Lakes offer public boat launches for anyone with a boat and trailer. Also, it is just 8 miles to a boat launch on East Bay part of beautiful Grand Traverse Bay. For those who like hiking, several trails are nearby as well as being located near the Vasa Trail used in both winter and summer for biking and skiing. And kayaking, canoeing and tubing are possible on the Boardman River only 3 miles away. If you visit in the winter, snow mobile trails are within two miles as well as wonderful cross country or snowshoeing trails.

The cottage has two bedrooms and one bathroom. There is a queen size bed in one room and a double bed in the second bedroom. Enjoy a meal on the deck overlooking the lake. At night use the fire pit for roasting marshmallows or cooking hot dogs. The cottage is furnished with linens, blankets, dishes, coffee pot, toaster and cookware. There is a stove, refrigerator and it is air conditioned. Bring your camera as you may enjoy deer, raccoon's, squirrels and birds.

Located with permanent residences nearby, there are quiet hours after 10:00 pm. There is a hill down to the cottage and steps down to the lake where there is a dock. No fireworks are allowed.

All is well.
This property was very well maintained. The owner was called and it was solved immediately. Our only problem, a blocked main in the bathroom, was taken care of within two hours.

George Lake Cabin
Very enjoyable stay. Cabin was clean and well appointed. Only issue was that the dock was not installed, which made it difficult to get the boats in/out. Also, the decks hadn't been cleaned and were full of pollen and pine needles. We spent 1.5 hours cleaning off the decks, etc. so we could enjoy them. Otherwise a wonderful time.

Sweet place to relax
The cottage is cute and perfect for a relaxing get-away. It’s nice to be on a lake without motors, you can really enjoy peaceful nature sounds. And it is so close to all that Travers City has to offer!

Beautiful, quiet & comfortable little lake house.
The house is quite new and beautifully decorated and furnished with just about everything one would need. There is a large deck overlooking Lake George, which we enjoyed every day & evening. About 50 stairs down to the little pier. There is a paddle boat which we used to go around the lake. Also kayaks. I only suggest that a ladder and/or post to grab on to when getting off the boat and up to the pier after swimming. We loved the cabin, for sure!
