Very nice little place

Nice, cozy cottage on the lake. One day it was very cold and rainy but was lovely to sit on the enclosed porch and gaze at the serene lake just the same. We did think it was a bit expensive for five days.

Wonderful stay!

We had a great time staying in this cabin. We loved being right on the lake. We spent a lot of time on the back deck enjoying the amazing view and taking walks around the neighborhood. It was the perfect size of our family of 3 and our dog. We would absolutely recommend to others!

Great Up North Feel

We loved our stay and really enjoyed the location on the Lake and proximity to Traverse City and the surrounding area. Real up north feel and feels very private with the wooded lot. The cottage is super cute, two bathrooms were great and the lake is super nice with a sandy bottom.

Beautiful location

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this cabin on spider lake. The location is beautiful and quiet, and it’s sits right on the lake. We loved having the pontoon boat and kayaks to use all week. The cabin itself is very clean and well maintained. Would definitely come back for another visit!

Magical

My wife and I stayed here with our two kids. The cabin was nice and clean when we arrived as was everything around the property. The welcome book gave great information and we especially liked the information about the Loons on the lake. Seemed like we became Loon experts over the course of our stay, lol. We rented the pontoon boat and took multiple boat rides each day. The boat was really nice and we had no problems navigating around the lake given the instructions in the guide book. We used the grill a couple times and had no issues with it. Kids loved the playground. At night when the kids went to bed, my wife and I enjoyed sitting out on the deck watching the stars. The only suggestion I would make is adding floor mats in the master bathroom. Both I and my son slipped on the floor after showers and I'm still feeling the bruise I have 4 days later.

Property was clean and has everything you could possibly need. Brighter decor was very nice. The deck is wonderful with a beautiful view. Only complaint is the sheets on master bed kept coming off the mattress due to the mattress pad.

Beyond our Wildest Dreams

Property far exceeded our expectations! Honestly, my husband and I were rather nervous about investing a large sum of our very little savings into a trip renting a home we aren’t familiar with. But wow! This house was everything and more what we could have expected! Home was gorgeous, fully loaded with anything you could ever need when far away from home! Scenic and idealistic! Romance was reborn! Clean, crisp and cozy! Management easy to contact, check in and out was a breeze!Thank You for an amazing long weekend will be booking next year immediately!Actually already requested putting down a deposit for next year!
