About this property
Twin Birch Resort - The Green Laker Cabin: Lakefront with Dock, Rowboat, and Kayak!
The Green Laker Cabin is a charming and traditional cabin right on Little Platte Lake! It is part of Twin Birch Resort and the rental includes full access to the resort's amenities, including your own rowboat and kayak! There is also a dock and firepit at the resort that is shared among all 4 cabins. The cabins are all technologically updated with high-speed and live streaming Roku television. This charming little lakefront cabin truly provides for a fun, peaceful, and relaxing getaway!
INTERACTION WITH GUESTS:
Our local property manager lives nearby and is available if needed.
NEIGHBORHOOD:
The property is in a quiet neighborhood of lakefront homes and resorts, with Big Platte Lake on one side of the road and Little Platte Lake on the other side of the road. Boating, kayaking, and fishing are very popular on both lakes.
Outside of the immediate area, the property is close to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake, Traverse City, and a lot of cute little beach towns in the area like Beulah, Frankfort, Empire, and Glen Arbor. There are all kinds of hiking trails in the area and outdoor activities of all kinds are very popular. The area truly provides for a great vacation getaway!
GUEST ACCESS:
Rental of the cabin includes full access to the resort's outdoor grounds and amenities!
TRANSIT:
It is highly recommended that guests have their own means of transportation.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
(1) There is a flight of stairs from the cabin down to the lake, so accessibility may be an issue for some folks.
(2) Guests are welcome to bring their own motors or rent one for use with the row boats. Crystal Lake Marina in Honor and Beulah rent boat motors. Motors should be 10 Horsepower or less and must be short shaft because Little Platte Lake is VERY shallow.

Honor
Located in Honor, this cabin is on the waterfront. While the natural beauty of Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Crystal Mountain.

About the host
Hosted by Agape Vacation Rentals
Twin Birch Resort is a wonderful and traditional northern Michigan resort with a rich heritage. It was started in 1947 and has been owned by the same family since the 1980's. The key feature of the resort is Little Platte Lake and the property leverages all of the lake with a great dock and the provision of both a rowboat and kayak to all guests! There is also a community fire pit on the property. The resort provides for a great getaway for a family, extended family group (renting multiple cabins), couple, or an individual just looking for a little relaxation.
Note that the property is managed for the owners by Agape Vacation Rentals, which is based in nearby Beulah, Michigan.
