The house was exactly as described. Kitchen had everything we needed. The access to the lake was amazing, beds were comfortable. We caught fish off the docks, swam in the water, kayaked around the lake and had campfires at night. There’s a very cool resident snapping turtle who made an appearance at the dock several times. Relaxing and fun vacation! Location was close to other activities in Traverse City but very quiet at night.

This is a beautiful location very convenient to Traverse City, Suttons Bay and less than an hour to Petoskey. Nice beach area. Deck needs cleaning and a good investment would be new deck furniture. The set there is very old and peeling and very heavy to move around. Owners really nice and communication was good. The family enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

This house was perfect for our retreat and provided everything we needed. The lake is amazing! We didn't see a rowboat anywhere and the paddleboat seemed a bit broken. Kayaks worked well. It would have been nice to have towels (including hand towels) provided so we didn't have to buy them. There was no hand soap either so come prepared. The hosts were kind but had an excessive amount of communication before check in.

Family unplugged vacation
We loved being able to unplug, and enjoy nature and peacefulness. The space was great for adults and little children, so we didnt get under foot of each other. Everthing you would need to cook, grill available. We enjoyed the ability to still be outside with screened in porch when weather wasnt sunny. Owners are great.

Great family vacation
A beautiful spot on the quiet Spider Lake, very clean and well appointed cottage, friendly and helpful owners live next door. Cottage came with the use of two kayaks and a row boat. We have been renting similar houses in this general area for many years; this was one of the best.

Wonderful memories on Spider Lake
I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at Susan and Joe’s cottage on Spider Lake. We had 3 children and 4 adults and everyone was comfortably settled. The kids LOVED the bunk beds. Walk out on to private beach with own dock, kayaks, paddle boat, and row boat. Beautiful deck with grill—stunning view of the lake. The neighbors were wonderful as well! Great find!! Can’t wait to come back next Tyler. Thank you, Susan and Joe!

Relaxing Getaway
We were very satisfied with our little getaway to make a long weekend relaxing. Quiet property near a clean lake for swimming was greatly appreciated. The large windows toward the lake help you to enjoy the lake inside the house. The house is well stocked with towels, dishes, clean bathrooms and plenty of room for a comfortable stay. At night, a cozy fire at the pit outside was welcoming. Very close to many attractions that are easy to visit. Highly recommend this vacation home for a couple or a family with kids - plenty of room to make great memories.

BEST GIRLS WEEKEND!!
What an awesome, cute, perfect place! Clean, quaint, private. I stayed here with 3 girls and we had the best time ever! It was so much fun, we're going again this year!! The perfect distance from Traverse City (city) to dress up for a nice dinner downtown, spent Saturday on a winery tour and then went out in the row boat for an amazing Sunday brunch on the water! LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER MEMORABLE WEEKEND!!

The perfect summer vacation!!
We spent our first of hopefully many family vacations here and had the time of our lives!!! The cottage was the perfect setting on a private, beautiful lake and had all the amenities you would ever need. Everyone enjoyed being right on the water each day and campfires at night. The owner Sue was great to work with and very accomodating - our family really enjoyed our time here and look forward to returning soon!

Spider Lake, Traverse City
Thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us. My whole family had just the best time in years together. The weather was great, except for one day so we all toured the wineries on mission point then went to the movies. Which some of us slept through. Your neighbors were kind and helpful like we've known then for years. The lake at night was pure serenity with the fire pit on the waters edge which we used nightly. We all feel rested and slightly burned just like every good vacation should be.
