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

Harolds Resort is located off the highway, in the woods, on the lake - a private peninsula - surrounded by water on 3 sides w/7 log 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.

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.

Romantic hideaway!

~Softy~ Farmington Hills, MI, USA
Review Submitted: February 16, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Just about everything's made of wood. A great getaway for romance and seclusion and sereniity. Distance from other cabins and ours was so filled with hospitality and gifts and a warm fireplace turned on waiting for us when we arrived. This is a place where you can escape and a couple can spend as long as they want alone, exploring each others minds and whatever else :) Had a kitchen, gas stove, fridge, etc. So quaint and cozy. And the fireplace really warmed the entire room. Nature trails, tubing, sight-seeing, downtown all within a short car ride...but most of all cabin was away from all that and kind of hidden away. Which we loved. Private Hot tub was completely amazing watching the stream roll off the jetted waters as cool, crisp snowy air poured into our lungs through the mesh windows all while the tub kept our bodies warm. Cool blue lighting at night by the way and clothing optional. Made the perfect setting for a steak and wine dinner which my other half absolutely loved!
Owner's Response: Winter is an especially "magical" time here in the northwoods, and for those of you who are lucky enough to have experienced it.. you know what I mean-- it can happen to you.. you can make it happen...Kathy

Just what the doctor ordered...

Scott & Kim St.Joseph, MI
Review Submitted: March 8, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2008
Wonderful, private getaway. We have been to Harold's Resort both with our children and without. Summer is the best time to bring the kids to enjoy the wonderful lake, beach and boat. Families can sit around a nighttime beach campfire or just wallow in in solitude. My husband and I have spent several seasons in cabin 4, each season is special; whether for the colorful leaves, the beach, or the snow. The hot tub is delightful in the winter when the snow is falling and your'e up to your shoulders in "warm."
Kathy decorates the cabins for the season and you immediately feel very welcomed and at home. She and Rolf are wonderful hosts who have anticipated all your needs. You may meet them outside, or you may go an entire weekend without ever seeing them. Somehow they seem to know whether you want to be chatty or would prefer being alone. Take a minute and seek them out; they are very friendly, engaging people. If there is anything you need they are always just a short walk away.
There is horseback riding nearby and plenty of places to walk, hike or go winter skiing. If you start going stir crazy from too much relaxation, Traverse City is not far away. There you can eat out, go shopping or catch a movie. There are some great little restaurants in town if you don't feel like cooking for yourself or grilling out. There are also a number of winerys nearby if you want to spend a day tasting the area's finest There are three casinos within an hours drive, and you might get lucky! You can spend the day on the Leelanau penninsula (drive out to the tip) and visit the great little shops or have a meal at one of the restaurants there.
So all in all, you get the best of both world's at Harold's. If you need a geat little place to just getaway from it all and relax, look no further, youv'e found it. Scott & Kim
Owner's Response: If you are looking to "Get Away" !! Look no further - take the advice of these nice people, they know how to come up north, get in some play time and some R & R and enjoy "the good life" ....

Review Submitted: December 31, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2008
We enjoyed our stay at Harold's Resort. We were looking to get away from city life for a few days. The scenery was beautiful and the location was peaceful. The rustic character of the cabin made our experience that much more enjoyable. Our cabin was cozy and cute with a great view. We made good use of the hot tub and look forward to coming back again.

Harold's Resort on Spider Lake

maxsavage La Grange, IL.
Review Submitted: October 31, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Harold's is a wonderful, quiet, rustic resort. It is perfect for those looking for a private cabin on a lake in a beautiful forested setting. We stayed at Harold's with our three kids and we all had a great time playing on the beach, kayaking, fishing, and just relaxing. Harold's is just what we look for in a vacation cabin, a getaway from the hustle and bustle. Harold's is only a short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes and the Manitou Islands. Traverse City is also nearby with all of it's attractions.
