We took a quick trip up to Traverse City and we where not disappointed. Close to everything nearby yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Plenty of great food nearby as well as beautiful fall colors.

very well equipped kitchen and quiet area

This is a wonderrful rental property. Location on Spider Lake was perfect. Susan is a wonderful host. Can't wait to return next summer.

We felt like we were on our own private lake in our cove. It was so serene as we paddle boarded and fished from our pier. The fire pit along the shore topped off our evenings, along with yoga on the pier as the sun set. Our house was awesome, having several rooms to chill in, also overlooking the lake. Susan was very responsive and kind. This house and location were perfect.

We stayed in this house a couple of years ago and it was great but wow! They have made some really nice updates and improvements to the overall comfort of the home. It sits off a cove on Spider Lake which was nice and quiet but still plenty of boat watching. traverse city was a quick 20 minute drive where we could do all of our favorite things. We also took day trips to Glen Arbor, Suttons Bay and Leelanau! The house was very family friendly, comfortable and had everything you could need for a week at the lake. We will definitely book again!

Everything from check in to us leaving was amazing. Plenty of room, gorgeous view, fishing right out the back door. I couldn't ask for anything more.

This home was exactly as described! Clean, easy to find, easy check in/check out processes. We would definitely stay here again

great for a small family or couple. very well stocked and cozy.

Cute place just as described. Wonderful time and beautiful weather could not have asked for a better stay. Would rent again😊

Ok

Great property, there was a little bit of a musty smell, but didn't really effect the week. Walkway to water could use a good power wash, very slippery when wet! Inside was very clean all amenities were great, everything you could need! friendly owners who get back to you quickly! Only two Kayaks, but that was explained. Owner went out of their way to provide a license for row boat so we could put a motor on! Would definitely stay again! thanks for a great week!

Stayed for 4 nights over Memorial Day weekend. The house is very clean and set on a nice piece of property, nestled in the no-wake cove of Spider Lake. There is plenty of room for all guests to sit and sleep comfortably. New appliances, grill, fire pit, all the amenities. We really enjoyed that the master bedroom opens onto the deck. The owner is very responsive and left a book with a map of the lake and local convenience locations (very helpful). Dog friendly was a definite plus, and there was plenty of room outside. The house is super close to downtown Traverse City, the wineries, lighthouses, and all the major TC attractions. We would stay here again for sure.

Nice cottage with ample sitting area

House is close to Traverse City, wineries and conveniences. House is in a cove and the lake traffic there is active but not wild. Main body of the lake is a good size. Owners are responsive and accommodating. There is a good stereo system inside and a good pizza place close by. Kitchen has everything you need with an extra fridge in the back. The cons: House did not appear to be very clean upon our arrival...which was extremely disappointing since we paid a cleaning fee. We definitely could tell there was a pet there before us. There was pet fur on the dining room table and all over the wood floor..almost like it wasn't swept. The portable fans included were filthy. Parts of the house are remodeled and some parts still old. We were there when it was really hot and had to have all the windows opened. Windows are old and some were hard to open. A few windows had broken glass and the screen door in the kitchen was ripped. Bathrooms are so so...one is updated but small the other is old and the fan didn't work. Mattresses are old but not horribly uncomfortable. You could have a fire in the fire pit outside but it was difficult to sit around since its on a slope. We found ourselves disappointed with the lack of care in minor repairs.

We made the most of it... house not very clean. Musty oder and some windows painted shut.... both sliding doors had rips in screens and also a few broken windows. Home I feel is over priced for the condition. Fire pit right at water edge on a hill... pointless

Very clean, spacious and well stocked. We had a great time and Susan was readily available to assist or answer our questions.
