The Brown Bear Cabin is PURE NORTHERN MICHIGAN! It has a charming and traditional rustic style, but is also very comfortable. The cabin has been updated with modern amenities including high-speed Wi-Fi and streaming television with Roku. The cabin is part of Twin Birch Resort and it includes use of your own private kayak and rowboat for exploring the lake, which is great for both kayaking and fishing! It also includes use of the resort's dock and community fire pit. 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. Peterson Beach on Lake Michigan is also only 4.6 miles from the resort! 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! Note that the cabin is open year-round and it's warm and cozy in the winter! There are also a lot of activities in the area during the winter. Cross-country and downhill skiing are popular in the area and the cabin is just 16 miles from Crystal Mountain Resort in Thompsonville, which has both downhill and cross-country skiing as well as ice skating. Both cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are available at nearby Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Sleeping Bear Dunes is also great for winter hiking. Ice fishing is popular in the area as well and Little Platte Lake, Big Platte Lake, and nearby Crystal Lake are all good spots for ice fishing. Snowmobiling is also popular and there are snowmobiling trails nearby in the Thompsonville area. Several communities in the area also have Christmas festivities and winter carnivals and/or parades. TRANSIT: It is highly recommended that guests have their own vehicle. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: (1) Due to seasonal weather constraints, all outdoor amenities (including the firepit, dock, boats, etc.) are only guaranteed in terms of availability from June 1 through Sept. 30. (2) Cable-equivalent television stations are provided via Spectrum's streaming app. (3) 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.

(5) Peterson Beach on Lake Michigan is only 4.6 miles from the resort! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property located in a resort - Unit size: 1,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/98000000/97040000/97032900/97032801/423e7ad9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Twin Birch Resort - The Loon on the Lake - Lakefront with Dock, Kayak, and Rowboat!
