Welcome home! Rest or recreation...it is all here. We love it here and want to welcome you to this little slice of heaven located on the very best spot of the lake.

Spider Lake is a beautiful, spring-fed, 459-acre lake with multiple bays, two wide water areas, and 22 miles of shoreline. You can fish one of the best spots on the lake right from the property. Spider Lake is NO WAKE in the morning before 11 AM and in the evening after 7:30 PM to keep the lake extra quiet for fishermen.

A short distance to world-class golfing, delicious restaurants, the sites of Traverse City (children's museum, marinas, Old Town Playhouse, specialty shops), the sounds of Interlochen, casinos, or wine tasting at many local wineries; close to downhill ski resorts and the VASA bike/nordic ski trail.

Many renters return year after year to this cottage nestled in the woods and surrounded on three sides by water. It is the perfect place to relax and spend time with those closest to you. You will not be disappointed. We welcome you to call or e-mail for further details.

  Mike & Marie ,
  • I am so glad that we came up for the winter. We had a great time. Grace-MacDonald Park was only a short distance away and perfect during the day and even lit up at night to take the kids sledding. We filled up thermoses with hot cocoa for our nighttime treks there. We made snowmen and went crosscountry skiing nearby at TimberRidge and spent a couple of days skiing at Crystal Mountain with the kids. It was a great winter getaway and a convenient location to everything. We will be back again next year!

  • A great place to stay for a fall color trip. The home is more than we hoped for and the area is very peaceful and private!

  • We had the best time. My two boys each "adopted" a paddle boat as their own as they spent the day on the lake. We didn't hear anything about going into "town" to shop, they wanted to spend all their vacation time at the "cabin". We loved spending evenings sitting around the fire pit making smores. Again, what a great time we had and are going to be back the same week next year.

  • We loved, loved, LOVED this wonderful stone cottage on beautiful Spider Lake. The kids spent all day outdoors and never even missed Cartoon Network! Thanks for making this so welcoming and "homey" for all your visitors.

  • This wasn't our first visit to Traverse City but it undoubtedly was the best. We found ourselves returning from a day's activities much earlier than planned to enjoy the cottage and all it had to offer. Our kids really enjoyed their paddleboats, the campfires and the game selection. We are home now but our thoughts keep going back and lingering over the experience. See you next year!

  • I stayed here with my family and had the best time. The one feature we really appreciated was the privacy of the cottage. We were tucked away by ourselves and felt like we had our own little island. The house was immaculate and the conveniences that were provided were top notch. I'm definitely making plans to come back again. It was a wonderful vacation.

  • My family has rented 4 different cottages in Northern Michigan over the past 10 years. The one we were going to rent was already booked, so we decided to try this one for a change. I wish I would have done this years earlier. This is by far the nicest cottage we have stayed at. It is secluded in a wooded area, but close enough to town. My kids loved the paddleboats and my husband and I used the canoe. There is a firepit on the property for roasting marshmallows. We enjoyed listening to the loons on the deck and the porch swing overlooking the water at night. I would definitely recommend this cottage if you are thinking of a summer getaway.
