Mayfield House | Newly Remodeled Lakefront Cabin w/Modern Amenities.

4 Bedroom House in Mayfield, Traverse City

"The Cabin", as this house if affectionately referred to as, was fully renovated in 2016, and is directly on the eastern shoreline of beautiful Arbutus Lake in Traverse City! We hold license # 2019-70 in East Bay Township. The Cabin sleeps 8 people in beds from May-September, and 6 guests in the colder months, when the bunkhouse plumbing needs to be winterized. In the winter, AWD or 4X4 vehicles are required to access the property.
The Cabin, a near-historic property between the pristine shores of clear Arbutus Lake as well as the small private naturalized Perch Lake, was preserved in January 2016 with careful modern interior updates that maintain the feel of a family lakefront, with natural materials and tones throughout, while giving the comforts of conditioned-air and modern electronics and sound.
It has three bedrooms (1 King, 2 Queens) and three bathrooms. The Master Bedroom features a King bed with adjoining bathroom and a private view of the sunrise over Perch Lake. The Lakeside bedroom features Arbutus Lake views for both its Queen and Twin beds. The Third "bedroom" is a bunk house only steps from the main house. The bunk house features a queen bed below, with lofted twin bed above as well as a bathroom with a shower. There is also a retro arcade hut, blissfully detached from the main house. As a bonus, back in the main house, the four-season room offers a Twin Murphy Bed, a fireplace, and a stunning sunset view of Arbutus Lake. The four-season room can be made private with a sliding barn-door and blinds on the windows.
The house has a Sonos Sound system, 4 cable TV's, Blu Ray player, Smart TV and wifi internet. All new mattresses as well as a new leather couch, two reclining lounge chairs and side chairs.
The kitchen includes Kitchenaid appliances, with a large stainless fridge perfect for the weeks-long stay. There is a beautiful kitchen island with three bar stools, as well as a large farm table next to a small gas fireplace. The kitchen flows well for the lakefront summer stays, as well as being a warm and inviting space during winter stays. Fireside cup of cocoa? Indeed.
Landscaping improvements include sandy beachfront, a private fire pit and a private dock that allows for boats to be tied up to it. The Cabin will have exclusive access to 2 kayaks and 2 SUP boards. The beach and water access are very nice, with no rocks and nice sand.
Come enjoy the many benefits of this all sports inland lake where the 395 acres are swimmable from May until October, the fishing is plentiful and the conditions are perfect for many water sports including kayaking, stand up paddle-boarding, water skiing and tubing, all while being minutes away from Traverse City’s restaurants, shops, wineries, golf and more. On-site tri-toon rental is available.
This location is adjacent to The Brown Bridge Quiet Area which offers miles of hiking trails. Like to snowmobile? Leave right from the property and access Boardman Valley Trail System's 81 miles of trails! Boardman River is also within 3 miles, a great place to do river tubing, kayaking, canoeing and fishing. We are only 7 mi. from Vasa Single Track, a great Mountain Bike trail system. In addition, the Vasa is home to 25 km of groomed cross country trails. Mount Holiday is only 15 minutes away, a local downhill ski hill that also offers snow tubing and zip lining with a view of it all from a warm bar-and-grill. Crystal Mountain Ski Resort is only 30 miles away – a modern, full amenity ski resort.
This setting is perfect for relaxing lakefront vacationing away from the hustle of town, but be sure to leave time for a short 15 minute drive to the city. Traverse City is well known for its lakefront, with countless shops and restaurants. The greater Traverse City Area is nationally recognized for Old Mission Peninsula and the Leelanau Peninsula's many wineries, as well as the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park.
This rental is immediately adjacent to the well established Lakemore Retreat. While we are owed separately, our properties are cooperative with each other, and work well to rent in unison.

Summary: We had a fantastic stay at the Lakemore Cabin. It’s our third stay which speaks to the amenities and beauty of the cabin and lake. The lake is clear and beautiful with plenty of water toys. My toddler appreciated the indoor and outdoor toys to play with. Kayaks and standup paddle boards were a blast. The interior of the home was extremely cleanly and is a beautiful set up for both comfort and relaxation with family. We can’t wait to stay again!
