Welcome to The DriftAway Cottage on Spider Lake. This lakeside vacation retreat combines the rustic charm of Northern Michigan living with lots of modern luxuries. We’ve completely updated the DriftAway with amenities such as stainless steel appliances, a flat screen HDTV, an XBOX video gaming system, a DVD player and movie library, high-speed internet access and XM Satelite Radio.
Outside you’ll find a new west-facing deck above 60 feet of sandy Spider Lake frontage. Both the deck and the fire pit near the water are perfect for watching the sun set or just enjoying the view of the lake. If it’s time spent on the water you’re looking for, we have you covered. Spider Lake has room to water-ski but also a regulated quiet time in the morning and evening for fishermen. The cabin comes with a small row boat (motor available for rent), inner tubes and life vests. If you’re really interested in exploring this 500-acre, all-sports lake, we have a pontoon boat available for rent. Don't forget, we're only minutes from town where you'll find great food, wineries, festivals, music and local culture.The area also has great hiking trails, canoe rentals, and golf courses. In winter we are near downhill slopes as well as cross-country and snowmobile trails. The ice fishing is great!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
I grew up in the Traverse City area and have always loved everything the area has to offer: the people, the lakes, and the peace. My entire family still lives within miles of the cottage. My husband and I now live in Northern VA--right outside of Washington DC. I am a college professor at the University of Maryland and he is a major in the Marine Corps.
Why the Owner Chose Traverse City
Spider lake is a fun, relaxed, family centered lake. The people are friendly, the bottom is sandy, and the fishing is good. We also love it because it is so close to the downtown Traverse City area; so, everything is accessible.
The Unique Benefits of this House
We have a pontoon boat that will allow guests to fish or hop the islands! The cottage is loaded with everything guests will need: linens, appliances, gas grill etc. And, if you have a rainy day we have books, videos, and lots of board games for you.
