Our seasonal log cabins are built on beautiful Spider Lake near Traverse City, MI. Spider Lake is an all sports lake with a regulated quiet time in the morning and evening for those that want to fish or just sit back and enjoy the views.
We have three separate, very clean and private Bellaire style cabins. Each cabin has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen with dishes, glassware, cookware and utensils and a sofa sleeper or futon. There are three docks for boats, four kayaks, two row boats, and a paddle boat for use by our guests. Oaks Resort is the perfect destination for your summer family vacation.
The Traverse City area is full of fun things to do and see. Within minutes of the resort, there are canoe rentals, hiking trails, horseback riding and some fantastic golf courses. Boat and jet-ski rentals can be arranged and are available. Day trips to nearby Sleeping Bear Dunes, Interlochen, the increasingly popular Wine Country (Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas), Petoskey and Charlevoix are also family favorites.

Our property is not handicap accessible. There is a sandy swim area with grass on the shoreline. The air conditioner is a portable window venting system which is suitable for a cabin. Renters had no complaints other than the steps the many times we interacted throughout the week. We appreciate being able to handle any issues during your stay to make it the best possible vacation for our guests. It was mentioned how nice it was to be able to park right by the cabin. It made unpacking and packing up easier. Current and previous renters have all been very happy.
Very spacious cabin, clean. We had 2 adults. A teen, and 6 and 4yr olds and had plenty of room. It was nice for the little ones to go down and swim near the dock. You can use the kayak, rowboat, paddle board to reach the sandbar in the middle of the water. Quiet place at night and early morning. Plenty of deer to see at different times. This was one of our more enjoyable family vacations. Close to traverse city and several lighthouses. Great times!
