Great getaway

This was a perfect home base for exploring Spider Lake and nearby Traverse City. Plenty of room for our family of 4 to spread out with many amenities. Highly recommend renting a boat. Very buggy so beware! Not many restaurants close by so definitely stock up at the local grocery or head into Traverse City for more options. Two rooms had air conditioning but the third did not, justy FYI. Host and house manager were very helpful and responsive. Would come back for sure!

Quiet and beautiful setting

Property as described. Unethical setting on the lake in the woods. Nice water toys for paddling around the lake. Home is older, but everything works. Owner easy to work with and accommodating. Enjoyed our stay. They are actively working to make it better and upgrade some older utilities. Gorgeous views from the main rooms. Will stay here again.

Amazing trip!

Our family of 5 stayed here with our dog for 6 nights. The property was spacious and perfectly located on spider lake. We had a wonderful time. The host was more than accommodating and very communicative. The home has 3 air conditioned bedrooms which was really great on the warmer days. Beautiful views and a dock for the boat we rented - we can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay!

Peaceful stay

We had a lovely time at Spider Lake. We stayed for 9 nights and even though we had a few rainy days it was enjoyed by all. We all loved exploring the island across the way and hanging out on the dock. It’s unbelievably quiet there and the star gazing at night was great! The beds were very comfortable and we all slept so well. The proximity to Traverse City was perfect. Just a quick trip to restaurants, groceries, bakeries, and trails. My husband rented a bike and rode the TART trail on the nice days. We also rented a boat from Windjammer on the Lake on our last day. We can’t wait to return!

Great VRBO Lake Property

The house is wonderful, and met all our needs. The lake property is a fantastic location right across from a Federal Island that is a short swim that has a shallow sand bar. Any questions were immediately answered via text. WiFi was excellent. Rooms were clean and very comfortable. The fact that they provided new body wash and shampoo containers to help avoid Covid-19 transmissions was nice. We would stay here again.

Great home, with a great view!

We rented this home for 3 families, 10 people total ranging in age from 3-70+. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space & own bathroom. The outside space is wonderful & the kids loved playing in the water. The public island in front of the home is a great place to go & explore (our kids loved that). We would stay here again!

Great location + waterfront property near Traverse City

Spacious + full of charm. We've stayed in different areas around Traverse City previously but this might be my fave. Easy drive to Traverse City. 15 minutes goes by like 5. The lake is clear and sandy and perfect for kids/dogs. Most everything is provided - there is even life jackets and dog toys. Beautiful, quiet property on a hillside of pine trees. I would get up at 7 am and sit on the dock to watch the sunrise - so serene and beautiful. On my very first morning, a bald eagle swooped over my head, I saw an otter swim by AND was serenaded by the loons. A true getaway with every convenience you could need. Will be back!

Great Time on the Lake

This is a nice sized house directly on the lake with a dock. There are some kayaks, paddleboards, etc that were included to enjoy. The location on Spider Lake is directly across from a small island that you can boat over to. The lake is not that busy so we found it relaxing and there is only one neighbor visible from the property. The house itself is two levels with three bedrooms and three baths on the main level. The kitchen was adequate and had plenty of supplies. The master bedroom is recently added so it is quite up to date. The living room was spacious and looked directly out to the lake. A property manger met us when we arrived and gave us a full tour of the house and answered all of our questions. Overall, it was a great stay and we were sorry to have to leave when the week was over.

Great property and great location

Our experience was excellent. The house had everything we needed and was in a really great location. The master bedroom exceeded our expectations. Lots of room. We centralized upstairs, but plenty of room downstairs as well. 3 couples and 1 infant. The owner was very accommodating and was ready at the agreed time. Darrell was very friendly and helpful. The boat dock was good and the water toys were appreciated. We rented a pontoon locally. In summation, we were very happy. We also appreciated the laundry and dishwasher. We have rented on Spider Lake many times, but this was the nicest house by far.

Lovely location on a quiet lake

This property is a gem. Right on the water with great views and everything we needed for a relaxing Fall weekend. The owner was quite helpful in providing information not only about the house but also the surrounding area. There is plenty of room to relax and enjoy the outdoors with an upper and lower deck and a fire pit. Great location!

Spider Lake

The cottage was very nice. The master bedroom was great and there is basically a bathroom for every bedroom. Nice views from the dining room and living room. Plenty of lake toys to play with. The kitchen is dated but functional. Darrell, the property manager, was very helpful. Overall a good experience. On a cool windy day we hiked the Brown Bridge Quiet Area which was really nice. The pizza place near the cottage, Peegeos, was very good. Went there twice.

Summer 2019

We had a wonderful time in Michigan and really enjoyed the home. Our family of four had more than enough room and the boys enjoyed not having to share a bedroom. The updated master bedroom was very nice and we enjoyed eating meals on the deck and enjoying the view of the lake. The whole family enjoyed the kyack and the stand up paddle board. Check in was very easy, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the gas grill was nice to have. I would highly recommend this home.
