Summary: This was our 2nd stay with Arbutus Lake Rentals. 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.
