Location: Spider Lake, Northwest, Michigan, USA (10 Miles Southeast of Traverse City)
Accommodations: Five Cabins/Cottages, 10 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 5 Baths (Sleeps 20-30)
If you are looking for the ideal spot near Traverse City, I have it here off a private blacktop road on personable and friendly Spider Lake. I have five of the cleanest cabins/cottages on the nicest sandy hard bottom frontage with spectacular views within ten minutes from town. I can accommodate one person or up to thirty. Rates are comparable to other rentals and I will see to it personally that your needs are met. I stake my reputation on what I do and what I do is rent boats and cabins to people looking for a get-away, active or passive.
Here you can relax, read, sleep, swim, fish, boat or find many other great, wonderful and beautiful things to do. I recommend calling the phone number below for some personal attention to see first hand if one or more of Shawn's Places will meet your needs. My goal is to share my good fortune with others at a reasonable cost so I can continue to do what I like doing, maintain what I have and improve and grow so I have more to offer repeat and new customers.
Thank you,
Shawn Smith
