#### Updated cabin on a picturesque lake

Great little updated cabin on Arbutus lake. We were able to rent a pontoon boat for the day and spent a great afternoon on the lake. This is a family and pet friendly resort and cabin. Nice beach area and plenty of lounge chairs around. We will absolutely book this cabin again. Note: bring your own towels for the beach but every household item you will need is included with the cabin.
