Pleasant stay in Traverse City

Had a great time in Traverse City. The cottage had a beautiful view of Spider Lake, and the home itself was cozy. A well-stocked kitchen was perfect for cooking our Thanksgiving dinner.

Great home and beautiful view of the lake! Property is exactly as shown on listing. Street is quiet and cute to walk. Only 25min drive from downtown traverse city which was great. My one minor complaint would be that the main bed isn’t very comfortable. Overall great stay and we’d go back.

2nd time staying at this location and it was great! We lucked out with the weather being in the mid-80's for early October and we were able to enjoy the lake. Great peaceful location and views - a true escape!

Property was as described-clean and very comfortable. Great view of the lake and sand bottom for swimming. Fishing was quite good off the dock as well and the kids enjoyed the paddleboards. Would definitely stay again in the future.

Great place! Excellent condition! Great waterfront with clear sandy bottom next to the dock. The cottage is well stocked! Great fishing lake! We would stay there again for sure! Only caution would be to any older or handicap guests may find the steps to the lake a little daunting. Cary is very responsive to any questions or concerns!
