Truly could not have asked for a better place!

Our stay was INCREDIBLE!!! Plenty of room for 11 guests. Truly I don’t think the pictures do this place justice. The house is absolutely gorgeous - perfect if you’re looking for an upscale log cabin vibe. The lake is so picturesque, and the drive into Traverse City was so easy. The kitchen was great for cooking several meals during our stay. I can’t say enough good things about our stay. I would stay here again in a HEARTBEAT!!! Thank you for providing the perfect location for an unforgettable weekend!

Beautiful and unique home

As soon as we walked in the front door, we fell in love with the house. Beautiful views are everywhere from within. House is well stocked in the kitchen, with games, books, kayaks and a paddle boat. Great memories were made!

We came N instead of S for our annual vacation this year. What a treat! Enough room for 11 adults and 2 teens and a baby. Easy access to boat dock and boat rental with tube. So roomy and great decks. Stocked well. Beautiful surroundings. I suggest a handicapped potty!!

Anniversary trip

Our family of 10 ages 24-82 thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Spider Lake while celebrating our 60th wedding anniversary. This is an older home with some recent updates that easily accommodated our family. It has a wonderful modern kitchen/dining/living area that overlooks the beautiful Spider Lake. Paddle boat, kayaks and fishing pier were a welcome addition for the younger ones. The fire pit was also enjoyed in the evenings! Beautiful area and great property for large groups.

Love this lake house

This is our second time staying here and we love everything about it. The view is spectacular and it’s very roomy for our entire family of 12. We found the house extremely clean and organized with everything we need. Quiet hours make it very relaxing in the morning and evening. Also love taking out boat to the sand bar! Great fun!!!

Perfect Extended Family Resort

Great family place. Lots to do. Everyone enjoyed the kayaks, the paddle boat, the blue water mat, ping pong and foos ball. The adults loved the deck and were able to watch kids in water from there. Nice grill is a major plus for us. Couldn’t figure out lights on the driveway and a bit of a musty smell on lower level bedroom . Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Spider lake home

We loved staying at this home. The owner thought of everything. The home is big with an amazing view of Spider lake. We were there for a wedding. We had 8 people and plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone. The setting is in the woods and very private and peaceful. Beautiful colors on all the trees and lovely to enjoy sitting outside on the deck in the evening chatting with family. Owner provided so much information on things to do and there are tons of board games as well as Ping pong and Foosball. We couldn't have been more happy! Definitely will come back!

Spider lake house

Our family of 12 really enjoyed this home on spider lake. We loved tubing and skiing on this quiet family friendly lake. The property mgr. was extremely responsive to all of our needs and concerns. The house was very spacious for all 12 of us with a beautiful updated kitchen.Many water toys were available and used daily. The swimming dock and water mat were a huge hit. Since our weather was so warm the air conditioning could not keep up but at least 2 bedrooms had room air conditioners. We hope to be back soon!!!!

Great spot for a large family!

Our family of 14 had a great week on Spider Lake. The house is beautiful and has two large living areas on the first floor as well as a basement/yard-level room where the kids spent lots of time playing ping pong and foosball. It was enough room for people to be together or separate as much as they wanted. The lake was beautiful and warm, with a fun float and mat, as well as two kayaks (one adult and one child) and a rowboat. Spider allows all motorized water craft, but our area of the lake was never too busy or loud. The proximity to Traverse City, as well as to a nature center, the Boardman River, Ranch Rudolf for tubing, and an athletic field was also a huge plus. The only down sides were that the house only has AC in some of the common areas, and it wasn't able to work at full strength. Fortunately it wasn't too hot for most of the week, but if it had been that would have been problematic. The basement area (where many of the beds are) was also quite humid and smelled of mildew. There was a dehumidifier in the laundry room that helped somewhat, but I think that putting 2-3 portable dehumidifiers throughout the rest of the area would have made a huge improvement. Overall it's a beautiful house and we had a great time!

Great house for large group

House was great and in a perfect location. We had a great time. Few suggestions I have... house needs to be cleaned better, extra towels would be helpful, as well as cleaning products, pump soap not bars to share. Not sure how bedding gets cleaned but there was blood stains on my pillow cases and comforter on master bed. I have pictures if needed. We would definitely come back but house needs a little TLC in the cleaning department.

A beautiful lake home

My favorite thing was to sit on the deck and just watch our kids on the lake. It was very easy to communicate with the owner , not that we had complaints but for inquiries. Kitchen had more than enough necessities for a family get together. Thanks again!

Family reunion

The pictures do not do this house justice. It is so spacious and well stocked. There were 12 of us and we never felt crowded. The lake is beautiful and was enjoyed both on the deck and in the water. The owner greeted us at the beginning of the week and stayed in touch in case we needed anything. You will not be disappointed if you stay here. Our family made beautiful memories.

Pictures don’t do this house justice!

I’ve rented dozens of properties and usually I’m a little disappointed because the pictures always look better than it actually is. This home was BETTER than I expected. The owners were more than a pleasure to work with especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. We were a group of 9 adults and 2 kids and we had more than enough room! The basement is loaded with toys and games, we had a bit of rain but brought our corn hole downstairs and had a blast. Dock fit our 2 boats, nightly bon fires were perfect, even threw my mom a surprise 60th with some of her closets friends. We made some incredible memories and will definitely be back!
