Photos and Description of the Traverse City vacation house rental - 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, full futon, sleeps 6

We feel that our second home is easily the best value for your hard earned money on Spider Lake, maybe even Traverse City. You get a clean, comfortable house on the lake, a 20' pontoon boat ($250/day value), filled with gas ($90 value), a 3-person, 14' fishing/leisure canoe, and whole bean Starbucks Coffee for when you awake to the breathtaking views from our deck (priceless). Additionally, we are providing WiFi and Unlimited Long Distance, for our valued patrons. If you can get the same value for less, anywhere in Traverse City, I'll match it, plus give you a 10% discount for staying with us. Kick back and watch the sunset from your private deck, overlooking the most desirable view of the All-Sports, Spider Lake! The twenty-nine miles of shoreline are perfect for fishing, jet skiing, canoeing, sailing, swimming, and the thirty-foot private dock has a twenty foot pontoon boat, available FREE OF CHARGE for the duration of your stay with us (June through October, weather permitting)

Review Submitted: July 24, 2006 Date of Stay: July 2006
Karen & Matt, Thanks so much for providing such a lovely, clean and comfortable cottage. We loved the serene setting of your cottage on the beautiful wooded lot that opens up to a very spectacular lake. The sandy beach in front of the cottage was great for swimming and just relaxing on the chairs in the water. We took many pontoon rides to enjoy the tranquility that Spider Lake offers. We enjoyed going in and out of all the coves and riding around the entire lake. We even viewed beautiful sunsets from our pontoon rides. Our friends brought their ski boat and we tubed and skied around all the islands and had a great time. The lake is large enough that you don't have to worry about other skiers and boaters getting in your way. We also took the pontoon to "Party Island" where everyone anchors and swims around, plays frisbee or just "hangs out". Met a lot of nice people there. The fire pit was a great conversational pit as we watched the full moon rise over the island that is in front of the cottage. Traverse City is a short drive, so one afternoon we spent shopping and then one evening we went to the Turtle Creek Casino. Even though our last day at the cottage was 98 degrees there was no need to turn on the Central Air due to the fact that the trees surrounding the cottage kept it cool. We highly recommend your cottage at Spider Lake to everyone and we look forward to renting your cottage again next July.

Thanks again,
Diane & Skye

Spider Lake

Review Submitted: September 1, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
I was happy overall with the accomodations and the Lake is simply beautiful. I met a lot of locals was invited to a lake party with a live band. The boat was a great feature that me and my family enjoyed. The cottage was clean and well kept, i.e television, internet, beds furnature. The only problem I had was exterior lighting especially on the steps of the deck, even a solar light whould of helped, I flipped a few times in the dark going back and forth from the camp fire. I would like to go back again it was great, given that the deck stair lighting problem is addressed. Then I would totally recommend this place to all my friends. As a footnote I plan to vacation at this lake every summer going forward.

Hi Matt and Karen - just wanted to let you know how very much Vern, Kady and I enjoyed your beautiful get-a-way home on Spider Lake. It was everything and more of what we expected. There is something about the moon shining on the lake that makes you want to stay down by the bonfire all night. And we couldn't believe there were no bugs!! We bought all this yard guard and mosquito spray and didn't use a drop of it. It was so quiet at night - all you heard were the geese and loons. We were so happy there were loons on the lake - they are so much fun to watch. The pontoon was the BEST and ran perfectly all week long. Vern caught some real nice bluegills and a beautiful bass which he had to throw back in because he wasn't quite 15" long. Thanks so much for sharing your lake home - was one of the most if not the best enjoyable and relaxing vacations we've had! Already planning our return trip for next August!

Dear Matt and Karen,
Our family had a great week at your beautiful place in July. Everything was just as you described it. Our girls loved taking the pontoon boat to the islands. Thanks again for the hospitality.

Hi Karen-

I know this is way delayed but I wanted to give you guys a big thanks for the opportunity to get away at your neat place on the lake. Seems ever since we've returned, it's been non-stop, hit the pavement running. Between work, school, and another out of town trip--hence the need to get away. This family literally needs to be forced to sit and hang out. We had movies, we had good eats, we had smores by the firepit. And the dog of course, loved the place. We walked out on the lake. Very cool. Went skiing--a bit cold, the boys had enough after an hour. I think it was about 5 degrees out and some wind chill. Oh well, we loved just hanging out--that's what was much needed. A skill forgotten. Cute place, rustic, cozy, just right. Thanks again! Hope to revisit some day.

Sincerely,
Kathy Garza, and family
