Photos and Description of the Traverse City vacation cabin rental
Log Cabin for One Couple with Hot Tub - Bath w/shower

Harold's Resort is located off the highway, in the woods, on the lake - a private peninsula - surrounded by water on 3 sides w/7 '1950's' LOG 'housekeeping' Cabins. Extra quiet, private & secluded. Safe for Families, Quiet for Couples. Great for fishing and swimming. Spider Lake is an all sports lake with 459 acres. No wake before 11 am & after 7:30 pm each day ensures the lake is extra quiet in the morning and evening. Great pontoon boating lake with lots of exploring to do. When you are here, you will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but there is easy access to town.. Traverse City that is. Also nearby in the Pere Marquette State Forest you will find: Hiking Trails, Snow Shoeing and X-C Trails, & Mountain Biking Trails. Ranch Rudolf is a short drive away for Horse Back Riding, Canoeing & Tubing on the Boardman River. We do Nightly & Weekend Rentals Sept - June. Weekly Rentals Sat to Sat in the Summer. Let me know what you are looking for... Kathy

Summer Weekly Rental: Bring the family up for some quality time. Bring them to a place that time forgot. Remember going up north to the lake as a child? Well bring your children to the same place. Bring them to a place for some good ole fashion R & R. Bring your favorite board games, books, deck of cards, beach toys and fishing poles. I bet they don't ask for a TV all week... a miracle... After fishing, and swimming and chasing each other around, after dinner and a bonfire with roasted marshmallows and s,mores... they'll hit the hay and never even notice the TV . Rainy day -- that''s when the games come out... or a trip to town to the Children's Museum - waves of wonder, or just a wet day outside... even if it wasn't raining, they'd be wet ... right ? !!! Rainy days are when the fish bite best... so hopefully you'll get at least one while you are here.

No pets allowed on the property, not even to visit, please and thank you.

Fall Weekends: Come up to the North Woods for a Color Tour Weekend - everywhere you go up here is a 'Color Tour' - cruise the lake on a pontoon boat ( rentals available here ) visit a winery, casino, or fabulous restaurant - we have plenty in the area. Hiking and Mountain Bike Trails nearby for a real color tour thru the Pere Marquette State Forest. This cabin will accommodate one couple, and we have 7 cabins here - and we have other accommodations on Spider Lake for larger groups too. September 13,14,15 Traverse City is hosting it's 4th annual Epicurean Classic - 80 events including: Classes, Demos, Tastings and Dinners. Ask about our 3 night packages that include: 3 nights accommodations for 2 people - a Traverse City Cherry Pie from Grand Traverse Pie Company, 2 tickets to the Tasting Pavilion, your choice of Friday or Saturday 12 noon - 4pm, a Cozy Log Cabin with Fireplace viewable from bed with special linens and comforters and your own private Hot Tub on the Screened in Porch !

Girls Weekend Retreats: Did you know that 'Girls just wanna have fun! ' Well gather up your friends, sisters, mothers and neighbors! and choose either a Scrapbook or Sewing Weekend Retreat! This is where you get to have all the fun, work on a project or take a class and learn something new with all the girls! No cooking, No cleaning, No husbands or kids (bless their hearts!) The work room is open from Friday 2pm til Sunday 2pm - come and go as you please.... Six fabulous meals provided! With Dessert, Treats, Snacks & Beverages. Eight weekends per year to choose from - contact me and I'll set you up! Kathy

This Log Cabin at Harolds Resort is located on a 2 acre private peninsula surrounded by Spider Lake on 3 sides. A 459 acre 'all sports lake', Spider Lake can be found within the Pere Marquette State Forest. Located in Grand Traverse County along w/ many other inland lakes, we are also close to East & West GT Bay. The Boardman River snakes thru the county providing fly fishing, canoeing and tubing opportunities & then empties into West Grand Traverse Bay near downtown Traverse City. All kinds of water, lake and river water activities can be done in an endless water wonderland - Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring. Being the Tart Cherry Capitol of the World means not only cherries for our area, but also all kinds of berries, apples, peaches, sweet corn and all can be found at roadside stands & our downtown Farmers Market approx July - October. With so many things to do, you might forget to do one of my favorite things.. Nothing! Ask about other vacation rentals we manage on 'Spider'

Other Activities: snow shoeing, snowmobiling, ice skating

Golf: Love to Golf a different place everyday? Would you rather stay 'off the beaten path' ? How about a Cabin in the Woods? A Vacation Home on the lake? Would you like to do a little boating or fishing in between rounds? Forget the Hotel on the Miracle Mile! Come stay - in the woods, off the highway and on the lake! You will only feel like you are in the middle of nowhere! There is easy access to town and all the Golf Courses you could possibly want... and they are all a scenic drive away!

Ski: Cross Country Skiing at it's best -- with all the natural snow Grand Traverse County gets, All the State Groomed Trails to use for free ! - just grab your skis or snowshoes and come up to the woods-- get a pot of Chili cooking before you start out and it will be waiting when you get back - and so will your Fireplace, your Hot Tub and your Flannel Sheets and Down Comforter -- forget the 'Miracle Mile' of hotels, motels and restaurants.. stay out here, in the woods and close to nature. Yes, we have downhill slopes nearby if that's your kind of skiing ! There is something for everyone.

Cozy Get-Away!

5 of 5
Submitted: February 16, 2010 Stayed: February 2010
This cozy cabin was exactly what we expected after seeing pictures. It was very clean and had a touch of comfort! The towels and flannel sheets smelled so good, an added bonus compared to a hotel's towels and sheets! The fireplace heated the cabin and added to the coziness. We were aprehensive about the hottub since it was under 10 degrees outside. But once we got in, it felt wonderful. To breathe in the cool crisp air while relaxing in a bubbling warm water, it actually warmed us up! The Christmas lights were nice and the view was great! My husband & I really needed this get away to spend some time alone without the interuptions of every day life. We went into Traverse City and ate at Olive Garden which is awlays awesome & we also made a trip to the Turtle Creek Casino. It was a nice casino and I liked that it was not too busy. We played the slots and had many to choose from. We shopped the outlets and mall for a little bit and then we couldn't wait to get back to our cabin! The cabin was close to town yet we were in the country and away form the busy city life! My husband & I enjoyed our stay and can not wait to come back. We may make this a yearly winter break! Many times since we have been home we have referred to the cabin wishing we were there again. Very comfortable, cozy, romantic & relaxing retreat. Thank You!!!

Owner's Response: We know some people have to have a "hotel room" - but what a bonus for those who don't !! Having your own little log cabin to "call you home ' is something you willl never know when you stay at a hotel. Having your own private hot tub on your screened in porch, even with single digit temps - is something you can never experience at a "hotel". And as I always say.. the colder and nastier the weather.. the better the hot tub feels ! " Don't wait for the storm to pass, learn to dance in the rain ! " Kathy

Perfect Get-Away Weekend

5 of 5
Submitted: April 19, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We stayed at this property for 2 nights, April 2013... sorry I cannot indicate specifically which cabin we stayed in (against the review rules), which of course would have made this review more useful... but it was a very cozy little cabin for a romantic weekend getaway! From my first email interaction with Kathy to the last fleeting glance as we left on Monday morning, everything was smooth and carefree. When we arrived the cabin was toasty warm from the gas fireplace, clean, and delightfully set up for us! The [square] hot tub on the screened porch was wonderful with our cold evenings, especially once the twinkle lights surrounding the porch came on, although I would echo another reviewer's comments about the proximity of the next door cabin being a bit of a privacy issue. Be aware there is no television in the cabin, but having read this in another review, we brought our own TV, DVD player and movies, as well as a few games, which proved nice for evening entertainment. We also made a trip into town on Sunday afternoon. The tiny kitchen was quaint, but had everything we needed to cook up the fixings we had brought for a scrumptious breakfast on Sunday morning, and the bed with flannel sheets and down comforter was incredibly comfortable. I read where another reviewer had commented on the shower being very old and kind of icky, which is true, but it was very clean, and really wasn't an issue for us. All in all, a wonderful weekend away... we would highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful, romantic hideaway weekend that offers many nearby options for sightseeing, shopping, and entertainment... we are already talking about going back!
Owner's Response: Everyone has a story, and we love to hear it.. There is even a journal in each cabin to write your story.
Everyone needs to "get away" - relax, re-charge and re-connect. This is the place to do it. At the end of
the road, off the highway in the woods and on the lake - with beautiful Traverse City just a hop, skip and
and jump away. Seven cabin sit on a private peninsula - surrounded by Spider Lake on 3 sides
with a few open all winter, including this one. Soak in the Hot Tub with the twinkle lights giving off "just
enough" of a glow during the cold dark nights of Winter - and this year April was part of Winter ! The Hot
Tub also is available Spring and Fall. Summer Rentals are Weekly only - Sat to Sat. Traverse City is a
Fabulous place to visit and having your own little Log Cabin to come "home" to each night is the way to go !
Love to have you ! Kathy

Cozy cabin, great location

5 of 5
Submitted: February 5, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
We loved the place and the cabin. It's a small peninsula all surrounded by the lake, and it's also a bit hilly which make's it nicer. The cabin has room enough for everything you need, and the hot tub is awesome, clean and really well maintained.
The cabin needs some minor updates (insulation, water pipes-iron smell, and shower cabinel) but even though it all makes a great stay. Kathy takes care of your welcome even if she doesn't show up in your cabin, she has already prepared it all for you with even some personalized documents. And a welcome gift, that's great.
During winter the lake was completly frozen so a hike on it was gorgeous for me, I'd never done this before. There is a small island in the lake that you can now walk to it.
And Traverse City and specially the peninsula are great destinations to leave the warmth of the cabin for a while. If you go to yhe peninsula, instead of taking the center road all the way up, take the one on the left (close to the western shore), you will love the route and the houses around.
In short words, a place worth to stay.
Owner's Response: Your own Log Cabin - in the Woods, Off the HIghway, On the Lake - at the end of the road.

Wow, what can I say? This was exactly what was needed after a long semester of teaching and taking classes at Michigan State. The getaway to Traverse City was great, but the highlight was the relaxing time spent at the cabin. The cabin was prepped and ready for us when we arrived and we were able to relax, enjoy the fireplace and of course the hot tub! It was lightly snowing but the hot tub was in a covered porch which made for a unique experience overlooking the private lake. As we were leaving we were already trying to figure out when we could come back!

I cannot recommend this place high enough! Thank you Kathy and Rolf, I look forward to our next stay!
Owner's Response: This couple found out that Harolds Resort and Spider Lake are "Magical" !! They came from halfway around the world to our little piece of heaven... You are Lucky - you are only a few hours drive away.. "when you seek a private peninsula - you don't have to go very far" --and you can quote me on that ! Kathy

We absolutely loved this little love shack. It was so cute and the kitchen was well supplied with pans and dishes. The beds were super cozy and the hot tub was a fantastic touch. The view was amazing and Kathy was very nice answering all of my questions.
