Northern Echo Cottage Swimming, Sauna, & Stunning Views
2 Bedroom (3 beds + pull-out couch) / 2 Bath full house rental with 120 feet of sandy frontage on beautiful Spider Lake! Downtown Traverse City shops, restaurants, beaches, and activities are just a short 15 minute drive. Enjoy our stunning lakefront views from the spacious outdoor deck with a glass of Traverse City wine! After a day of wine tasting, kayaking, and exploring all that the Traverse City has to offer, this lakefront home is the perfect home-base for your up north vacation!
*ABOUT THE PROPERTY*
120 ft of beautiful and firm sandy frontage on Spider Lake, perfect for swimming and boating! 15 minutes from downtown Traverse City's shops, restaurants, beaches, and activities: this home is the perfect vacation getaway.
This is the ideal home for your family: the house has an open floor plan with TWO living areas and lakefront views from every room. There’s a large deck with a grill and plenty of room for seating with an elevated, beautiful view of the lake; cozy sauna located on the upper deck; and a cozy lower deck right at the water’s edge where you can watch the wildlife, swim, or take our kayaks out for a cruise.
Our home has quality finishes and includes all the amenities you need to make your vacation feel like home-away-from-home; coffee maker, kitchen essentials, washer/dryer, WiFi, and with plenty of towels and linens. We even provide shampoo, conditioner, and bath soap to keep your suitcase a little lighter! There are two spacious bedrooms as well as a pull-out sofa in the lower level living room to accommodate a everyone in your group. A total of 1,300 finished sq ft is all yours. We provide fans in every bedroom and a window A/C unit as well for those extra hot summer days.
*ABOUT SPIDER LAKE*
Spider Lake is a 459 Acre All Sports Lake with big sections for water-skiing and tubing, small coves for fishing, and a couple islands and sandbars. 'Fast boating' is allowed only between 11:00 am - 7: 30 pm, so the morning and evening are quiet. Many of the coves are no-wake zones all day and great for fishing any time. With lots of bays and coves, you can find somewhere new to explore every day!
*RELAXING WINE TOURS*
Traverse City is known for its wineries! If you drive up Old Mission or Leelanau Peninsula, there are several wineries to stop by every few miles. Take your own car (& a designated driver!) and have a leisurely drive, OR book a private or join-in group tour! Many wine tour companies pick-up and drop-off at vacation rentals around the area. Reach out to us before check-in to help plan your trip!
*WINTER SPORTS*
The Winter Sports VASA Singletrack includes more about 10 miles of groomed trails for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, biking or running, and can be accessed just a few miles from the property. The Michigan DNR Designated Snowmobile Trails can also be accessed just a few miles from the home.
