About this property

Twin Birch Resort - The Red Laker Cabin: Lakefront with Dock, Rowboat, and Kayak!

  • The Red 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!


    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!


    GUEST ACCESS:

    Rental of the cabin includes full access to the resort's outdoor grounds and amenities!


    TRANSIT:

    It is recommended that guests have their own vehicle.


    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.
    (3) Fans are provided, but the cabin does NOT have air conditioning.
    (4) Peterson Beach on Lake Michigan is only 4.6 miles from the resort!
    (5) Pickleball courts located at Village Park, Beulah MI & Market Square Park, Frankfort MI

We loved staying in the 1947 Red Laker. Definitely nostalgic. We love the Little Platte area. Canoeing at Riverside, bicycling in Grand Arbor, swimming at watching sunsets at Lake Michigan. We appreciated having the grill for our dinners. Thank you for the perfect weather.

Very serene location. Appreciated how all the little things were foreseen, example box of kleenex by bedside. The screened in porch makes this cabin a keeper. Thank you.

Like visiting a new universe

Brought my grandson up for a couple of days for connection and getting away from busy south-east Michigan. This was the right place. Beautiful, tranquil, and EVERYONE was SO kind and friendly. Thanks.

Not sure the money is worth having to use water that is loaded with iron. It's better but don't like to take showers.
