Angela was very quick to respond to any of my questions. First impression was that Michigan needs to fix their roads. We loved the location and it was the perfect size for our 4 families. It was a log cabin, on a hill, over looking Spider Lake. The cabin was very clean. Being families with small children we wanted to cook most of our meals rather than eating out. We appreciated the that there plenty of cooking pots, pans, baking dishes, utensils, silverware and a dish washer. We loved having a big deck and big table on the deck, eating many meals on the deck. There was a volleyball court that we didn't use, however we did use the swings and slide. Walking down the hill there was a beach with sand the young ones enjoyed playing in. A couple even ventured in to the lake even though it was cold being early in the year. There were a few times we were unable to get the lock to unlock, I believe it mostly operator error, happened to me also. The 4 year old seemed to have the most success. Watching her she very deliberate and patient. I had no issues once I slowed down and was patient. Over all it was a great week and I would return if the need arises.

Great stay

We had a great stay. The property is in a resort but has its own little area so felt pretty private which was nice. The cabin was nicer than expected! Kitchen well stocked. Private fire pit. Many of the problems listed in previous reviews have been remedied. We felt communication could have been better as we asked a question our first day that went unanswered- definitely glad we didn’t have any problems that needed a quick remedy. Overall we would recommend this cabin!

Two Family Friendly

The cabin was cozy and welcoming. Having two main level suites was perfect for each couple. Then the two bedrooms upstairs were perfect for the four boys in one room and three girls in the other room. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, cookware, and utensils. The one suggestion would be a larger floor mat at the entry to keep shoes on, especially in the winter with the snow. Some shoe trays would be great to contain water from shoes. Our families enjoyed the cabin and hope to return in the future. Hosts were easy to work with.

Beautiful and fun property

The property and surrounding areas are very pretty. And quiet. The home is beautiful. And well equipped. Unfortunately, the second bedroom advertised a jetted tub that wasn’t functional, the plug was broken, an easy fix I imagine. This was disappointing as we were counting on the use of it. I do see an added benefit, if the homeowner chose, to include a bath towel, washcloth and minimal toiletries for each bedroom. We truly enjoyed our stay in the home. We had the pleasure of kayaking one day as well. Great memories were made and we thank you for your hospitality.

Cabin on Spider Lake

We had a wonderful seven days, other than inclement weather most of the week, at the cabin on Spider Lake. Early on, we noted terribly scarred TEFLON cookware in the kitchen intermixed with a few non-stick pans apparently acquired many months ago. I notified the property manager. She asked that I discard with the damaged pans. The following day a new box of non-stick cookware was delivered to our cottage. The facility overall was first-class for a lakeside cabin; the VRBO description was quite accurate. We greatly appreciated the comments on what was included in the rental and what we needed to bring to supplement supplies in the place. Overall, we were very pleased.
