Lake house on a beautiful all-sports lake. Spider Lake is a 450 acre, 38' deep, spring-fed lake in Grand Traverse County. House sleeps 6; two bedrooms and pull out sofa. Only a short drive to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, professional baseball at the home of the Traverse City Pit Spitters and many other attractions. Chairs are available by the lake to relax or to watch the kids swim in the sandy, shallow, shared swimming area. A large dock with benches is a nice place to enjoy your morning coffee and watch the lake wake up as the sun rises over the trees on the opposite shore. If you love to fish, the lake has bass, bluegill, sunfish, crappie, perch, northern pike, and a few cagey old muskie. Fall colors in the foliage are vivid in early to mid-October. The Grand Traverse area is popular for hunting, snow-mobiles and cross-country as well as down-hill skiing during the Fall and Winter months.
The house is one level with approximately 25 steps leading down to the lake. A wood deck is accessed from the living room for a spectacular view high above the lake.

    This was our second time staying at this cottage. Once again, I was very impressed with the cleanliness and all the extras the house has to offer. My kids loved fishing and swimming in the lake. The owner was extremely easy to communicate with too and just lovely.

    We enjoyed the property very much. Great beach area. Unfortunately it wasn't super warm a good part of the week but we still managed to get in the water a couple times. Fishing was slow at times but we caught some big bass from the dock and many bluegill. Loved the kayaks and the gazebo. There's a rolling, patio fireplace on the beach and we decided to take advantage on our last full day there, which was nice and relaxing, but the entitled guy two houses down doesn't like it burning when he's entertaining guests.

    Previous reviews mentioned this cottage felt like staying at Grandma’s and that’s exactly how it felt in the best ways :) It was very clean and you can tell the house has been well taken care of. My kids loved the kayaks and docks to fish off of too. And the neighbors were very friendly. Overall, a great stay!

    We had a great stay. We loved the lake and our stay. We enjoyed everything about it. We would highly recommend it. This is our first Vrbo rental and it was great!

    Roger and Patty's cottage was perfect for a family holiday! Simple and quiet - very nice neighbors on both sides and location that was ideal to unplug and enjoy summer camp at the lake. Swimming/raft, kayaking/canoeing, board games/cards - even a stereo with turntable and 8-track player (and record collection)! The only tricky part is that there is no washer/dryer, so I would definitely recommend taking advantage of their linen package (we did and it worked out well)! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

    It is a quiet cabin, not fancy but clean and a beautiful setting. Perfect if you are there for the view and the lake. We enjoyed the kayaks and the dock fishing. Very relaxing. Locations was great for day trips to surrounding area and TC. Enjoyed not having wifi. Reading relaxing and swimming!

    We loved this home. Perfect setting, very clean, great access to the water. Very responsive and welcoming hosts. The home itself was very nostalgic with some of the decorations. If I am being picky - some of the lower beaches on the trees in front of the deck may be cut to allow for a better view of the lake. Other then that it was perfect!

    We had a great time on Spider Lake! We were able to rent a pontoon boat and explore the coves and islands of this lovely lake. The cottage was comfortable for our family of 6. WiFi would have been nice for my husband to do his work check-ins, but we managed just fine. Kayaks, canoe, paddle and row boats were all used and enjoyed. We even got some fishing in. Thanks for a great week!
