What a wonderful experience!
This is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. The home itself was perfect for our family of six--clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The view was serene and peaceful, and we thoroughly enjoyed jumping in the hot tub and sitting around the fire after a day on the lake in our rented pontoon. Greg, the host, was wonderful to work with and very responsive to our every need. My family and I loved every minute of our stay and look forward to returning!

Clean, well-stocked house on Spider Lake
Everything we could have possibly needed was in the house, both inside and outside. Modern clean bathrooms, very well stocked kitchen. Beautiful natural lake, great location. The listing could use more pictures (I had to assume there was a big dining table somewhere, and there is, but it’s not shown in any pictures) and an update to reflect the new bed arrangement. We stayed there with two families of 5, and it is tight for 10 - even though there are two air mattress, there is not much spare space to put them, though three bathrooms are great. But it still worked and we had a great time.

Wonderful getaway at the lake!
We were looking for a lake house near the Center Ice Arena for our family plus my in laws. (My son attended hockey camp during the day.) This house was perfect! Plenty of space for everyone. All of the amenities you need- kitchen had plenty of plates, utensils, cups, etc. Bathrooms were nice and the towels were so nice! Beds were comfortable and the bedrooms have nice shades. Hot tub and fire pit were perfect. We rented a pontoon boat right around the corner and enjoyed a day on the water as well. The host was very friendly and easy to communicate with. We hope to be back next year!

Couldn't have asked for anything better!
My 4 friends and I stayed at this wonderful home for a ladies weekend. It was absolutely perfect! Everything we needed was there, the views were stunning, house was clean, host was responsive to my silly questions regarding coffee and firewood, and we had a fantastic experience. Our only negative was we couldn't enjoy all of the outdoor areas and amenities due to the cold and rain. Therefore, we are already looking into coming back during warmer months! We plan to be repeat renters!

Lovely lake home
We had an amazing time staying st this cute home on Spider Lake. We came to Traverse City for a horse show (a quick 15-20 min drive away) but enjoyed coming home to the lake.
The home is completely remodeled and can easily sleep 8 (we only had four so had more than enough ;-). The lake view is spectacular and we enjoyed using the provided kayaks and standup paddle board. Nights were spent sitting around the fire pit roasting s’mores or cruising around the lake on a pontoon boat that we rented for our stay.
We had a few minor issues but the owner was very quick to respond and very helpful. Check in and check out was super Easy. Our family looks forward to staying here again next year.

Newly remodelled house
Great house with living rooms and tvs on 1st and 2nd floor, dining tables inside and on the deck. Place has a dock and we rented a pontoon boat for a couple days and used the kayaks and paddle board a lot. The beach is kinda weedy so we used our floatation devises when swimming from shore.

A beautiful, clean lake house in a great location for our family vacation!
It was the perfect place for a summer vacation with our extended family. It's a clean, well-decorated, well-appointed home on a beautiful small lake.
Plenty of room for 9 adults from 19 to 78 years old. I slept in one of the top bunks and it was roomy and comfortable enough for an average size adult. We needed to use one of the two air mattresses, which were nice, double thick, and self-inflating. My 19-year-old son had no complaints... he knows better :-)
We had a couple of questions when we got there and Greg was good at answering questions reasonably quickly via vrbo messaging.
The location was great for us. We visited Traverse City, Torch Lake, Fishtown, and Sleeping Bear Dunes, all less than an hour's drive.
We relaxed around the fire pit, ate outside at the 8-person table on the deck, and had fun with the kayaks and paddle boards.
We highly recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxing lake house in what feels like your own little corner of the world.

Perfect getaway at a Clean beautiful cottage!
We stayed over New Year's for a family trip! There were 11 of us (1 in a pack and play). We did have 2 kiddos on air mattresses which were provided. There was enough room for all of us! The home was very clean, had everything we needed, and had a great view. I would recommend 4 wheel drive in the winter for the driveway. You can tell the owners have put a ton of work in renovations and it really looks great!

It was so nice to walk into a clean house that was beautifully decorated. The view of the lake was gorgeous. The house just makes you feel relaxed. Greg is quick to respond to all messages. They do provide water toys. Also they have a great fire pit to sit and hang out. Inside we enjoyed the large table where we played games. We loved this place. We will definitely be back.
