Was a perfect fall weekend on Spider lake. The house was very clean and comfortable. Played a fair amount of foosball & ping pong while we were there. Took advantage of having a outdoor fire with the family on Saturday evening.

Karl and his family were wonderful guests! We are glad you could enjoy all of the amenities. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us!
We had a soccer tournament in Traverse City, the house was perfect. Plenty of space, very nice indoors and out, the lake is beautiful. Hosts were great, highly recommend
Our family members really loved this place, it was a lit of fun. Also, the house owner is really nice, the backyard was absolutely beautiful! Everything was so clean and great.
We loved George’s Place! It was the perfect home for our 4 couples sibling retreat. 4 bedrooms and 3 & 1/2 baths accommodated us very well. It was super clean and well equipped. Wonderful location on the lake and yet a short drive to Traverse City. I especially enjoyed the Bluetooth bathroom speakers, as I didn’t bring my Mini Bose speaker, but I love listening to music while showering etc. We would definitely recommend and definitely book George’s Place again!
We rented this property to visit a family member who lives in the area and it was a terrific place to stay. The house was super spacious and comfortable. I can't wait go back in the summer!
This place was great for a fun winter getaway with friends. The layout of the house was perfect for a large group and was close to the activities that everyone wanted to do (ice fishing and snow mobile). The house was clean and the host was great with communication.
We had so much fun here with our family. The house was clean and just as advertised, and the communication with the owner was excellent. Don’t hesitate to book this house for an awesome get away on Spider Lake!

Thank you so much for staying at George’s Place on Spider Lake! We hope you and your family made many great memories! We would love to host you again in the future.
Great spot overlooking an inland lake... great home for gathering the family, cooking together, playing games and enjoying some outdoor fun in Traverse City. Host was excellent, and the property is fresh and well maintained.
This was our second year of staying at George's Place and we loved it. We love the spot on the lake and the house has everything we need. I had a couple of questions and the owner was very responsive. We hope to be back again next year!
The house was fabulous. Very roomy and perfect for a family with kids. Despite the colder weather & rain we all had a blast. Fishing was great off the dock! We plan to book this property next summer.
The home is beautifully updated, comfortable, and very clean. Quite a few activities inside and outside to help make your stay more pleasurable. Home owner very friendly, with great communication.
We come to TC with extended family every year for the Bayshore Marathon over Memorial weekend. This property was perfect for us. Clean, close to town and right on the water. Highly recommended.

Beautiful spacious property overlooking lake.
Easy communication with owner, very responsive to every request.
Short distance from Traverse City’s great restaurants, winery’s and golf.
Highly recommend this property
Unbelievable views. Excellent lake access. House is very nice and is equipped very well. All of the games such as cornhole, ping pong, foosball, are a great touch. Very close to downtown which is awesome. Overall 10 out of 10, would recommend anyone to stay here.

We love the views of the house. That’s what sold us on it! So glad to hear you were able to use all of the games during your stay! Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Great quiet area, lake view, not far from shopping and beach!
11 ladies stayed here for a sisters weekend. We really loved George’s place! It was our private getaway for us UP and lower Michigan ladies to meet. We enjoyed lots of shopping 20 min away, and the Sleeping Bear Dunes and large Lake Michigan beaches 1 hr away. The 80° early fall weather topped it all off. I hope to come back in the future.
Had the most amazing time at this property. The lake backyard is picturesque and relaxing. It provides views you see on movies. The home is very well built with all new appliances and attention to detail. Loved every minute there. We plan to make this trip an annual one and will look no further than to reserve this property.
