Locals call it Lake George. Maps call it George Lake. We call this home the Arbutus Trail Treasure. Whatever name you use, one thing is certain: lake life looks pretty good from here. Tucked into the trees with private no wake lake frontage, this Up North retreat puts you right in the heart of the legendary Arbutus Triangle, a chain of seven connected lakes known for beautiful scenery, paddling, boating, and some seriously brag-worthy bluegill fishing. Consider your Up North adventure calendar officially full. Inside, Arbutus Trail Treasure knows how to shine. With 3 bedrooms (2 upstairs plus a lower-level non-conforming suite) the cutest sleeping nook under the stairs, and 3 baths, there’s plenty of room to fill the house for those glorious, slightly chaotic lake weekends when everyone says, “We’re coming Up North!” Then winter arrives, the guest list shrinks, the fireplace gets going, and suddenly it’s your own cozy snow-globe escape in the woods. The home was designed to keep the water in the spotlight, with the primary living spaces oriented toward the lake, capturing those peaceful, tree-framed views throughout the seasons. Morning coffee comes with water views, summer afternoons spill onto the decks, fall brings a front-row seat to the color show, and winter turns the whole setting wonderfully quiet. Big enough to gather. Cozy enough to retreat. And the lake is always part of the room. Outside is where this home really earns her name. Multiple decks and outdoor gathering spaces wind through the wooded setting toward the water, creating room for morning coffee, afternoon lake days, evening fires, and the kind of Up North weekends that have a funny way of becoming permanent plans. Private frontage. Seven connected lakes. Woods, water, and room to exhale. Arbutus Trail is calling, and she’s pretty hard to resist. This home is being sold furnished! Seller is a licensee in the State of Michigan.
