best beach in the area
TC People  Oak Lawn, IL
Review Submitted: November 15, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
I have rented on Spider lake five times, this house has the nicest beach of all the houses. Some of Spider Lake's bays were used for logging, they are not one you would like to swim in. This house has a sand bottom, no debris, and is great for kids.

I look forward to our return this summer for another week

Great place to vacation!!!
Lbetz  Chicago, Illinois
Review Submitted: August 11, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Pinewood Shores' cottage is a great place to vacation. The cottage is nestled in a hill that overlooks the lake with a clear view of the island. The cottage is exceptionally clean with a full stocked kitchen and two grills for outdoor cooking, no need to bring anything with you. The beds are comfortable and very clean. The living room overlooks the lake, great view, with a very comfortable sofa and love seat with a flat screen TV with surround sound. Spider Lake is a sand bottom lake with shallow beaches and usually warms up by early June. The cottage has a sand bottom beach great for swimming and great for children. The bay Pinewood Shores' is located has a deep channel that runs parallel to the shore, about 30 feet out that offers great fishing right from the dock.
I have rented homes on Spider Lake in the past, this home is by far is the best of all of them.

We very much enjoyed our visit to this home. The view from the living room/game room was spectacular! We enjoyed the boat, which ran great. We had a great time exploring the lake. The house had all of the things we needed including a very comfortable king size bed. Also the house is close to Traverse City so we enjoyed both woods and lake but still had the shopping and restaurants nearby. We had a wonderful relaxing vacation!
