Come Up North to Gac’s Getaway on Spider Lake to relax and enjoy the lake life. Our two-story cottage has that great beach house feel with South facing views. It’s the best spot on the lake! There are three bedrooms, one bath and a main living/dining/kitchen area. The cottage sleeps six and all the rooms have views of the lake. There is one king, a queen and a double size bed. The kitchen has all the essentials - a full size refrigerator, electric stove/oven and microwave.The bathroom has a tub and shower. GG’s has 60 feet of private beach frontage, perfectly sandy that is only 40 feet from the cottage. As you enjoy your morning coffee in the screened in porch, you will hear loons, see ducks, geese, possibly an eagle and all sorts of other critters.
Spider Lake is a spring-fed, 459 acre all-sports lake. It’s excellent for fishing, skiing, tubing, swimming, and any other water sport you can think of. The lake has several bays and islands to explore. Outside you will find your own dock, the Blue Fin, a 14 foot rowboat and life preservers. There is a gas grill, outdoor furniture, and a fire pit. If you’d like, you can also bring your own boat, there is a DNR launch site 1.5 miles away. If you choose to bring your boat, please let us know that you doing that.
If you can tear yourself away from the lake, Traverse City is only 20 minutes away with plenty to do. You can enjoy the National Cherry Festival, Old Mission Peninsula Wineries, Leelanau Wineries, Casinos, award-winning restaurants and unique downtown shopping. The area is known for its championship golf courses, TART biking trails and extensive hiking routes. This part of Northern Michigan is home to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, awarded “Most Beautiful Place in America” by ABC’s Good Morning America. From GG’s, you can enjoy a day-trip to the dunes and other fun destinations along Michigan’s famous M-22 scenic drive, or visit the Interlochen Center for the Arts, where they host nationally known artists during summer concerts. Cherry Capital Airport is only 20 minutes away. Although you may be tempted to pack your visit full of activities, make sure to leave time to relax and enjoy the beauty that our cottage offers you and your family.

    Beautiful lake front location. Fishing from the dock kept our son busy with consistent catches.

    We had wonderful stay at the cabin. It was close enough to Traverse City that we could hit some of the main attractions in the area, but it was always nice to return to the peaceful view of the lake. Simply enjoying coffee on the dock in the mornings was the best!

    We loved it here. The water is clear and the beach by the cottage is sandy. It was a quiet area of the lake for the most part, sometimes you could hear a hotel/resort type place a few houses down. The beach was perfect for young kids to swim in, and the fishing off the dock kept my kids busy all week long. The dock is awesome to tie your own boat off, but I would launch your boat before you get to the cottage, the driveway is long and steep. The cottage was incredibly clean when you go there, and the kitchen had everything you needed.

    Jan and Jim were absolutely excellent hosts. Their communication was flawless from start to finish, and the cabin couldn’t have been cleaner. It was spotless and incredibly well maintained. We truly couldn’t be more pleased with our stay.The location on Spider Lake was ideal. We loved that it allowed for both fishing hours and full wake hours. It was perfect for our family, early morning and evening fishing trips were peaceful and productive, and the afternoons were great for cruising around.We also rented their pontoon, which although older, was in fantastic shape and extremely clean. It suited our needs perfectly and added so much to our experience.Thank you Jan and Jim for helping us create such wonderful family memories. We can’t wait to come back. See you again on our next trip!

    Beautiful lakeside property. We rented the pontoon and had so much fun on the lake. Proximity to Traverse city was perfect. Cottage is neat and comfortable and hosts responded quickly to any questions or concerns.

    Nice stay. Love the window seat in the largest bedroom. All bedrooms and bathroom are on the top floor, while the kitchen/living room are on the bottom floor. Would appreciate if they had bath towels but the owners very clearly say in the listing that they do not supply them, so it wasn’t a surprise. We especially appreciated the fire pit right on the beach. Beds were comfortable, which to me is essential.

    First time visit to Northern MI. So relaxing. The cottage was perfect for the 4 of us. The dock was my favorite place to sun. The lake is very clean & offers plenty to do to keep 2 teens busy. The cottage offered all the basics necessary and was decorated so cute! Definitely a 10/10. We were so happy with our decision to stay on Spider Lake. Already planning another trip and

    This place was exactly as described and more. Very fun for the whole family. We loved the lake and nearby park. It was a great place to unwind and make lasting memories. Traverse city and Lake Michigan is also nearby for fun day trips.
