About this cottage rental
Fall in love with Northern Michigan in this private cottage on all-sports Spider Lake close to downtown Traverse City. Enjoy 2 Bedroom (3 beds + pull-out couch+ cot) / 2 Bath full house rental and relax in the custom sauna just off the spacious deck! After a day of wine tasting and exploring all that the Traverse City has to offer, this lakefront home is the perfect home-base for couples, small groups, or families to enjoy Up North or spend the whole day on the lake!
*ABOUT THE PROPERTY*
120 ft of beautiful and firm sandy frontage on Spider Lake, perfect for swimming and boating! 15 minutes from downtown Traverse City's shops, restaurants, beaches, and activities: this home is the perfect vacation getaway.
The ideal home for couples, small groups or families: the house has an open floor plan with TWO living areas and lakefront views from every room. There’s a large deck with a modern fire table, grill, and plenty of room for seating with an elevated, truly beautiful view of the lake; Custom sauna located on the upper deck; and a cozy lower deck right at the water’s edge where you can watch the wildlife, swim, or take our kayaks out for a cruise.
Our home has all the amenities you need to make your vacation feel like home-away-from-home: coffee maker, kitchen essentials, washer/dryer, lightning-fast WiFi, and with plenty of towels and linens. We even provide shampoo, conditioner, and bath soap to keep your suitcase a little lighter! There are two spacious bedrooms as well as a pull-out sofa in the lower level living room to accommodate a slightly larger group. A total of 1,300 finished sq ft is all yours. We provide fans in every bedroom and a window A/C unit in the upstairs bedroom as well for those extra hot summer days.
*ABOUT SPIDER LAKE*
Spider Lake is a 459 Acre All Sports Lake with big sections for water-skiing and tubing, small coves for fishing, and a couple islands and sandbars. 'Fast boating' is allowed only between 11:00 am - 7: 30 pm, so the morning and evening are quiet. Many of the coves are no-wake zones all day and great for fishing any time. With lots of bays and coves, you can find somewhere new to explore every day!
*WINE TOURS*
Traverse City is known for its wineries! If you drive up Old Mission or Leelanau Peninsula, there are several wineries to stop by every few miles. Take your own car (& a designated driver!) and have a leisurely drive or book a private or join-in group tour! Many wine tour companies pick-up and drop-off at vacation rentals around the area. Reach out to us before check-in to help plan your trip!
*WINTER SPORTS*
The Winter Sports VASA Singletrack includes more about 10 miles of groomed trails for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, biking or running, and can be accessed just a few miles from the property. The Michigan DNR Designated Snowmobile Trails can also be accessed just a few miles from the home.
Snowshoe at local wineries, enjoy heated dining in private igloos, and come back to enjoy an evening warming up in the sauna!

Great property in a wonderful location. The place was well maintained
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Very nice views. The house is nice also. Just needed 1 TV upstairs. Walked the road and neighbors were friendly. Saw deer! Sauna was a great extra. The morning lake view was beautiful

This is a very cute house. It's quiet, quaint, inviting, and fully stocked. The sauna is absolutely lovely. I recommend a sauna and jump in the lake!The lake is clean, calm, and excellent for paddling the kayaks around. They are tied up a hill to a tree and a bit hard to get down. But it's 100% worth it.

Easy check in. Derek the host responded to all our questions. We enjoyed the cottage, the dock for fishing, kayaks and the bonus sauna. We plan on returning.
