We stayed for a month loved the views from the deck sitting on comfy outdoor furniture It was nice having the kayaks to go on the lake. Also the washer dryer was great to have. The snacks were a nice surprise and having beach towels included was a nice touch as well. I would consider staying here again if in the area ##### sandi H. Stayed 30 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annette B. 26 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful lake vacation home We stayed for 10 weeks this summer 2024. Beautiful location and lake is perfect to swim, boat, or just float. Kayaks and pedal boat provided. Appliances are new and cozy cabin feel inside. Sleeps 6 easily with bunks for kids. Very quiet area in woods with deer and lots of birds. We recommend highly for families or if you just want to get away. ##### Annette B. Stayed 76 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Brian W. 28 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet getaway Nice little hideaway, quiet and cozy. Walk out the door in the morning sit on the deck with a cup of coffee. Walk down the steps to the dock, get in my boat and go fishing. The lake is good bass and northern pike fishing. The cabin is nicely remodeled with a new deck. The only negative thing is air conditioning. Presently it doesn’t exist but I noticed the owners have a new electrical service waiting to be installed. No doubt it will be installed soon. A short drive is traverse city, plenty to do! Bring your boat and fish Lake Michigan! Great smallie fishing! I most certainly will be back! Well done owners! ##### Brian W. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah D. 25 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fall Color Weekend This was the perfect spot for our fall color tour - close to hiking trails and Traverse City. The cabin is settled within the tall pines along Spider Lake and the deck is perfect for morning coffee overlooking the water. It’s quaint and cozy! ##### Sarah D. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute cabin on the lake We stayed for a week over the 4th and had a wonderful time. The cabin was quiet and peaceful with a great view…and very clean! Upon arrival, we appreciated how cute the cabin was decorated and the gift basket that was left for us filled with some goodies. We rented a pontoon for five days while we were there so we spent a lot of time in the water. The fire pit area down by the water was perfect to wind down after a day on the lake. The cabin was cute and cozy and everything an up north cabin should be. The management company was super responsive and always sent a quick response when we had questions. Great location as it was secluded but still only a short drive to Traverse City. Thank you for the great week! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Pismo Lighthouse Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Pismo-Lighthouse-Suites.h10966.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Aloha Crater Lodge and Lava Tube](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Volcano-Hotels-Aloha-Crater-Lodge-And-Lava-Tube.h9812048.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Defiance-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h200743.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Goulding's Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monument-Valley-Hotels-Gouldings-Lodge.h11899033.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information)
