About the host
Hosted by Susan Ciolek
Our cottage has been in the family for more then fifty years and three generations. Many fond memories have taken place at Spider Lake. It is our hope that your family will enjoy your vacation and make new memories.
Why they chose this property
My parents purchased our cottage in 1967. I spent all of my summers during my teenage years on Spider Lake. My own children have summered since birth at the lake. Our beach sand is excellent for small children to play in. We are retired and live next door if you need any help. The cottage is personally maintained and cleaned by my husband. Our friends rent pontoons and jet skies if needed. Where else can you vacation virus free!
What makes this property unique
While staying at the cottage don't miss visiting Ranch Rudolph just minutes away for horseback riding, tubing & canoeing. The local hangout for great pizza or a mouth watering skirt steak is Peego's and it has nightly entertainment on the outside deck on weekends. A drive up the Peninsula between East and West Bay to the Light House is a must. Stop to enjoy great food at Old Mission Tavern while viewing their many works of art by local artists in the restaurant and gallery in the back. Then enjoy a drink or gourmet dining while the sun sets over West Bay at the Boat House or Bowers Harbor Inn.
