We had a relaxing week in the most beautiful of settings. Everything you need is at hand. Lake is crystal clear and just far enough away from Traverse City. We would stay here again!

The location was great, the lake was wonderful, so much to do and so peaceful!

Enjoyed our week stay at this lovely private cabin on Spider Lake. Had fun trying out the kayaks, paddle boat, and hammock! Used as our base while we explored some of the beautiful Traverse City area. The cabin was well equipped, having everything we could ask for.

This lake front cottage is sublime. My second stay here was as exceptional as the first and I can't wait to return next summer! Every morning we woke to a beautiful sunrise on the deck and watched it slowly set over the shimmering lake, gently rocking in the hammock on the cottage's private sandy beach. Jim and Audrey have provided everything you could possibly need to make your stay super comfortable and feel like you could just pack your tooth brush and have an amazing stay in magical northern Michigan; they are exceptional hosts! Thank you.

This property is absolutely breathtaking. When we first pulled up and got out of our car, my husband and I just stood there in awe at how beautiful the scenery was. The cottage is on a peninsula surrounded by water on 3 sides with stunningly gorgeous pines and trees all around and was nice and private. A vacation rental come true for two introverts like us! lol This is the best VRBO we have rented and the picutres of the views surrounding the cotttage do not do it justice. This was a pefrect getaway for our anniversay. We watched the sunrise in the am from the front deck and listened to the loons and all the sounds of nature. All that was missing was Henry Fonda, Jane Fonda, and Katharine Hepburn! :) We went kayaking and paddle boating every day. The fact that this cottage came with a selection of boats to use was a huge selling poing for us. There was barely a sole on the lake all 4 days (which is our favorite time to travel for that very reason) and we had the entire lake and cove to ourselves it felt like. I'm sure this lake is extrembely busy in the Summer but we lucked out as far as what we enjoy when we travel. It rained one day and we sat under the roof at the adorable storage cottage and watched and listened to the rain and smelled the incredible smells of the pines. The lake looked almost turquise and it was so peaceful and relaxing. We hope to definitely come back again next year! Thank you Audrey and Jim for sharing your little slice of heaven with us!

This property is a true gem amongst all the beauty of up north Michigan. Being on the peninsula, surrounded by lake and woods, you feel like you’re in a magical forest in a fairy tale. Watching the birds over the lake and listening to ethereal silence in-between the rustle of the leaves leaves anyone in a state of zen and relaxation. The owners are so thoughtful, kind, inviting, and accommodating. We felt like we were welcomed by family to a guest house. This was actually our second time renting this property and it won’t be our last. You will not be disappointed in the easiest decision you make: click rent now. Your spirit will thank you.

The property could not be more perfectly placed. This is the place to go to completely unplug and just enjoy the surroundings of the lake.

The location of this property is awesome! You can go downtown Traverse or Sutton’s Bay or Leland in a quick short drive. If you like to ride bikes, it is close to the Tart Trail. If you like to hike, there are nearby parks. The property is clean and having accesss to use the kayaks and fishing boat is so nice. Quiet area and you are secluded and it’s the best place to just enjoy the sunrise and sunset right off the porch! The owners are very responsive if you need anything!

We had a wonderful stay in Spider Lake, the property was very clean and comfortable with some water toys to enjoy on the beautiful lake it offers. It is perfect for a two person get away.

Perfect Spot for lakeside living. We feel so lucky to have spent some time on this beautiful property. The house was on a point of land, so you feel private and secluded on all sides. Spider Lake is like a well kept secret and at may times we felt like it was all ours to explore. We had so much fun swimming, kayaking, fishing and cooking outside. I hope we are lucky enough to visit again.

This property was amazing! The house was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay! The house is incredibly private. We rented a pontoon from a local livery on the lake which made this property even better for us. We were able to take the pontoon to the sandbar and the public island to do some exploring! We will stay again and again! Highly recommend the property.

The place was very nice, very clean, very cozy. Owners are exceptionally nice. We would definitely recommend this place for a peaceful getaway & do some fishing. Owners providers everything you need plus more. Just watch out for the fish, they will break your fishing line & take off with your bobber & not give it back.

Had such an amazing time! The property is beautiful as well as relaxing! We loved our stay. And Audrey and Jim were very accommodating. We had everything we needed. I would totally recommend this if your looking to relax and enjoy the scenery and of course the water 😍

Great location and views

Beautiful location and gorgeous weather made our stay wonderful. A little bit of heaven for sure.

What a gem! I almost hate to tell you how relaxing it was to find this quaint cabin on the point of Spider Lake. Jim and Audrey were wonderful available hosts- not only loaning me fishing equipment but making sure we were settled in and didn't need anything else. The cabin has a history (or should I say historic) you can read about, and it is just a cabin in the woods, but it has everything you should need. The amazing sunrise right out your window across the lake was breathtaking and sitting on the deck just chilling was just what we needed to celebrate an anniversary weekend. We will be back!!

We love the property. We will stay again.

We enjoyed staying at the cottage! This property was a perfect fall getaway, close to many attractions (the dunes, wineries, etc). We enjoyed the fire pit at night and the paddle boat. The local restaurant recommendations were great also! We will definitely consider staying here again!
