Beautiful Dog Friendly Cottage

What a perfect place to stay. We felt at home immediately. The layout was perfect for a girls weekend. We loved the cozy fireplace and watching the sunrise through the large windows. We drank our coffee on the deck and the dogs loved playing in the lake. It was close to TC but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. We loved it.

Old School Cottage with Updates

This updated cottage from the 1950's allowed for our desired access to the water (even my 91-year-old father was able to easily get down to the dock with just a little help for balance). We were bummed that the pontoon wasn't available but kept our jet ski right there. The views from the cottage and deck were outstanding! Our family (2 parents, 1 grandparent, and 3 early 20's) could've used a second full bathroom, but having the half bath helped. The pullout couch/porch area was also a helpful additional bedroom area. I appreciate the old time cottage scent, but the family room and porch furniture need a good steam cleaning. The decks and dock were well furnished and provided a choice of sun or shade. The property owner was quick to respond to our communication. Nice neighbors, great fishing off the dock, just outside of downtown, too. Looking for an updated old school cottage with an amazing view? This is your place!

Centrally located!

This cabin is so homey, you’ll feel like it’s your second home! Everything is well taken care of and the view is spectacular! The neighbors are friendly too! Would 10/10 stay here again! The house has everything you need, so when they say fully stocked, believe it!

About the host

Hosted by Nikki

My family has been traveling to Traverse City every summer for years and finally decided we want a place of our own. We were lucky enough to find this place in the Summer of 2015 and we are so grateful we did!

Why they chose this property

Spider Lake is a perfect lake for boating, fishing and swimming in a secluded spot, but just minutes from all Traverse City has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Absolutely gorgeous lake views from most of the house and the entire back yard. Easy access to the lake on a good sized wooded lot set back from the street.
