This Cottage is on the lake at water level and a private setting, only minutes from Traverse City. Cozy comfort is what you will get with this knotty pine rustic feel cottage. There is a large deck to start your morning off with a warm cup of coffee. Enjoy the quiet, watch and listen to wildlife activities from a few feet away on the lakeside deck. Two bedrooms with Queen beds and the third bedroom has two single beds. 1 1/2 baths. Well stocked kitchen with full stove and oven. Sandy bottom waterfront, fire pit and plenty of chairs for relaxing in the sun. The dock is great for fishing off of or for tying up your boat. The lake has several bays and islands to explore with the 2 kayaks and a paddle boat provided for you. A DNR launch site is only a few miles away.
Family Fun on the Water! Great getaway on Spider Lake with 150ft of frontage.

About Mike and Tami Pohl
During one of our vacations to Spider Lake, we had an opportunity that we did not expect. To purchase a cottage of our own. This is Pohl's Paradise and we would like to share a bit of that with you. This is truly a little bit of heaven. If you want to relax and enjoy a great family vacation this is the spot!
Mike and Tami Pohl purchased this Cottage in 2014
Why Mike and Tami Pohl chose Traverse City
Location / Size / Function / Feel: We walked into this property and and could not believe the setting. It is perfect for what we wanted to have on Spider Lake. When you walk in the door you know you are up north and the location is private and beautiful.
What makes this Cottage unique
Quaint, Up North, Boating, Fishing, Traverse City, Wine, Casinos, Sleeping Bear Dunes....you can enjoy a quiet day alone or you can drive 15 minutes to Traverse City and enjoy all of the activities they have to offer. You really have the best of both worlds.

Perfect lake getaway for family!
This cottage was the perfect size for our small family of 5 (kids are 9, 3, and 9 months) and Grandpa and Grandma. I was a bit intimidated by the steep, winding driveway, but once we were at the bottom the lot was perfect. Plenty of flat ground and visibility up to the water's edge as well as a great dock, and comfortable edges where water meets land. I never worried about the kiddos playing outside with supervision. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to make meals throughout the week. The location also offered easy enough access to get into town or gas stations. The lake had great fishing and we also enjoyed the paddle boat and kayaks! I hope there is availability when we try to come back next year!
Thank you so much! We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Spider Lake!

Nice vacation rental
We spent a week at this cabin with basically 4 full size humans (2 teens) there was plenty of room. the over all accommodations were adequate for a vacation cabin - the beds were not the softest but not the worst. It has everything you need in the kitchen and lots of other nice little touches. Only catching point for us was one bedroom up stairs the air conditioning did not really cool off - but open the door add a fan and all was ok. The lake mornings were awesome loons calling fish jumping and a Bald Eagle landing in trees right across the little bay excellent place to sit and enjoy coffee. Cabin was clean and well maintained.
The lake is amazing - we caught 4lb bass right off the shore by the cabin and tons of pan fish. Rented the pontoon from the info at the cabin and it made the trip that much more fun. No wake before 10am and after 8pm made enjoyable sunset boat rides! Plus we caught a ton of nice fish just trolling Pike and big bass!
Would rent again if we go up that way... owners were awesome and easy to work with!
Priceless
Thank you to the Pohls for a wonderful relaxing vacation. Wonderful cottage absolutely stocked with everything you could possibly need. Your personal touch to the decor and welcome gift was a first for us. We have been coming up to Spider Lake for ten years now and this was by far our most favorite place to stay! We will be back next year!
Wonderful week
A very relaxing week at your lovely cottage. Enjoyed swimming and kayaking. The location is private and quiet, but shopping and city life only a short drive away. Kitchen well stocked and all basic amenities provided. Media and wifi better than I have at home. Recommend highly for a peaceful getaway.
