The perfect place for our 2 week vacation. The view was incredible with a beach to relax and enjoy the day. Our first time at Spider Lake and we could not of been more impressed with the property and surroundings. The house sits in a small resort area that has everything you need for a family vacation. House was well equipped as well. Communication with the owners was effortless. Just left and already looking fwd to next year.

The place was clean and suited our needs. We stayed in the winter and I do want to note that a 4-wheel drive would be beneficial in the snow.

The set up of the "community " is nice. The swim area is really nice. Lots of seating outdoors. Not much privacy as the living room has a doorwall (1st floor bedroom also) that opens to the courtyard area and 3 or 4 other cabins walk through that area to their parking.

Cool little up north cabin in a great location

Nice little group of cabins on a beautiful lake. It was older with the typical funky uneven floors and quirky stuff, but it was nice enough and had lots of good updates in the kitchen and baths. Nice place for the price. We went on a gorgeous winter weekend and enjoyed the snow and local festivities but it would probably be even more fun in the summer on the lake. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

My family and I had a wonderful trip. The lake house was great, exactly as described. The house was fully stocked w everything you would need for a weeks stay. I was very impressed with how clean the house was. Contact with the owner and property manager was easy. The location of the house is close enough to town for shopping and activities but far enough away for a relaxing vacation. I would definitely go back, I highly recommend the house.

Clean, nicely furnished. Hot water pressure was very low. Very quiet, lovely visit for our family. Was disappointed they did not have the rowboat listed in their ad. They did have pontoon boats for rent, but too expensive for the couple of hours we wanted to fish with the grandson.

The host was very prompt in answering any questions I had. The cabin was clean, and the beds were comfortable. There have been some nice updates in the kitchen and bathrooms. If I had anything negative to say, it would be the pots and pans. They are older and have the Teflon coating with lots of scratches. Thankfully, there was 1 stainless steel deep frying pan, so I made that work. That said, it wouldn't keep me from going back; I'd just bring one of my own pans.

Wonderful time!

Great location as a vacation spot itself and/or a home base to explore northern Michigan. Our family members from around the country who joined together for the week in cabin #5 are already planning a return trip. The cabins in the resort as a whole would be great for larger family reunions. We loved it.

Beautiful view

You have to drive through some winding roads to get to it...but the view of Spider Lake from the cabin is gorgeous. Several levels of places to sit by the water with a small sanded beach area, kayaks and paddle board to use as you want. The lake is beautiful, calm and peaceful. The cabin was clean. Having a laundry room was a bonus. My dogs loved it!

First Time Staying

Everything was top notch, no complaints. Quiet place to stay. Had all we needed for cooking at home. TV was great. Outdoor sitting area in the back for eating. Wife and I will be back.
