Gorgeous Lakefront Cottage!! The perfect Up-North getaway!

Loved the cabin! The layout was perfect for our family, and we loved the view of the lake, the fireplace, and the fact that there were multiple sitting areas.

Perfect stay! 10/10 - would definitely return. Wonderfully cozy and outfitted cabin, comfortable beds, and beautiful views. As three adult women (who all like to have a little bit of private space), we couldn't have imagined a better place; a great basecamp for adventures *and* for quiet reading days.

We enjoyed our stay in this lake front cottage. The view was great and it was so peaceful at night. Nikki has done a great job decorating the cottage and putting any essentials you may need in the cottage and on the property. The pontoon rental that is offered is worth it, we spent almost every evening out on it fishing and checking out the houses on the lake. Thank you for being so accommodating Nikki!

We spent a wonderful week at the LakeFront Cottage. The cottage was very clean, well stocked with everything we needed, beautiful, and quiet. The beds were comfortable. Easy access, plenty of parking and a dock right on the lake. We caught some nice fish right off the dock. Kayaking in the morning was awesome. We enjoyed the short drive to shopping and site seeing around Traverse city. The stay exceed our expectations and we look forward to booking another trip at the cottage.

The house was as advertised. Loved being right on the water and the lake was so peaceful. We had nightly fires on the shore of the lake and took the boat out everyday. Great family vacation spot.

Property was a nice quiet location and we LOVED Spider Lake. It was the perfect size and mix of fun and quiet. Beautiful location. We enjoyed the fire pit and dock many times. It’s about 15-20 minutes from Traverse City so close enough yet far enough for some peace and quiet. We had a little plumbing issue while staying there but the owner was fast in getting a neighbor over to get it taken care of. The only negatives were the main bed was a little uncomfortable and there wasn’t an actual spatula but otherwise it was well stocked with lots of spices and condiments. Lots of family time cooking and playing cards at the house. It was us and our two kids (15 & 12) and the bedroom set up was great for them. Would recommend!

This cottage is absolutely gorgeous. It’s fully stocked, clean, and felt very much like our home away from home. The lake is beautiful. We loved sitting on the deck with our morning coffee and taking in the view. If you are patient, you may be able to see the local loons. Our 2 dogs loved everything about being here. It was so nice to be able to bring them along. Nikki was a wonderful host. She was easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We look forward to staying here again when we are in the area.

We loved our stay. Everything was well thought out for guests. Clean and comfortable and in a great location.The lake is clean and nice with lots of birds to listen to and loons to watch.

The lake cabin was perfect for our family's long weekend trip to Traverse City. Whether it was the huge windows in the livingroom, the multilevel deck with comfy sitting, or the chairs on the dock, there were so many great spots to sit want enjoy the beautiful Spider lake. The three rooms were more than enough space for our family, and we could of accommodated at least 2-3 more people easily. Finally, the property was a quick drive into town. Overall, a great place for our family!

Great time spent hiking and relaxing. So easy to do at this cottage. A very clean, comfortable and well thought out home. A few new places found and a few old favorites enjoyed. What a great time!!! Thank you. Be staying with you again soon.

We visited mid-winter. The cottage was as described, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host was very responsive and easy to reach. We had about 6-7 of snowfall the day before we left, and Nikki was prompt about getting someone out to plow the driveway so that we wouldn't have any problems getting to the airport in the morning. Great place...we would consider coming back in the summer, when we could take advantage of more outdoor activities.

Had a great time at this home for a week in early October. Looking out over the lake, fall colors, pontoon boat rides, fishing. Cozy with a great layout and outdoor spaces. We really enjoyed it. We will try to come back in the summer to really enjoy the lake and water sports to their fullest.

Beautiful view. Less lake noise than expected.Inside worked well for a family stay age 30-87 with 2 dogs. Quite a few steps to enjoy the outside...gave the 87 year old pause, but joined us anyway. Just a good place to hang out.
