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, theres plenty of room to fill the house for those glorious, slightly chaotic lake weekends when everyone say
