The cabin is much prettier in person than the pictures show. Very spacious and clean. Close to downtown too. While the lake was frozen, it was still a beautiful lake house. Hot tub was a great bonus as well!
Nice place. Good kitchen and gathering space for the group we had. I missed the note on the listing stating towels were not provided so had to scramble a bit but figured it out. Will consider using again next year. Thanks
The cabin was not as close to the lake as we expected. There was limited parking for a large family. The dock could be a little bigger. Good swimming,skiing and tubing although beach area was small.Otherwise we had a great family week staying at cabin 9.
We had a great stay. The property is in a resort but has its own little area so felt pretty private which was nice. The cabin was nicer than expected! Kitchen well stocked. Private fire pit. Many of the problems listed in previous reviews have been remedied. We felt communication could have been better as we asked a question our first day that went unanswered- definitely glad we didn’t have any problems that needed a quick remedy. Overall we would recommend this cabin!
The cabin was cozy and welcoming. Having two main level suites was perfect for each couple. Then the two bedrooms upstairs were perfect for the four boys in one room and three girls in the other room. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, cookware, and utensils. The one suggestion would be a larger floor mat at the entry to keep shoes on, especially in the winter with the snow. Some shoe trays would be great to contain water from shoes. Our families enjoyed the cabin and hope to return in the future. Hosts were easy to work with.
We had a wonderful seven days, other than inclement weather most of the week, at the cabin on Spider Lake.
Early on, we noted terribly scarred TEFLON cookware in the kitchen intermixed with a few non-stick pans apparently acquired many months ago. I notified the property manager. She asked that I discard with the damaged pans. The following day a new box of non-stick cookware was delivered to our cottage.
The facility overall was first-class for a lakeside cabin; the VRBO description was quite accurate. We greatly appreciated the comments on what was included in the rental and what we needed to bring to supplement supplies in the place.
Overall, we were very pleased.
Rented the cabin for a week for 10 people. Excellent communication by the host. Onsite boat rental with lake access. Close to traverse city and the surrounding areas but in a quiet area. We had a wonderful stay!
Good time with friends. No issues, comfy beds and good atmosphere.

The house layout was as described. Lake is a walk down the hill, not as close to the property as we thought. The outdoor furniture was dirty. Parking is tight and hard to find at night.
The home was lovely ! It was a perfect layout for our family. All three bathrooms were very nice. The kitchen could of been cleaner. We had 13 people and 9 coffee cups. Two dish towels and no dish cloths were not enough for one week.
The property and surrounding areas are very pretty. And quiet. The home is beautiful. And well equipped. Unfortunately, the second bedroom advertised a jetted tub that wasn’t functional, the plug was broken, an easy fix I imagine. This was disappointing as we were counting on the use of it. I do see an added benefit, if the homeowner chose, to include a bath towel, washcloth and minimal toiletries for each bedroom. We truly enjoyed our stay in the home. We had the pleasure of kayaking one day as well. Great memories were made and we thank you for your hospitality.
For some reason we thought it was right on the lake from the description, but it was a little bit of a walk. Otherwise everything just as described and we had a great stay for Iceman weekend
The house was very nice and clean inside. Lake view was limited due to trees and you're not directly on the water. Location was nice with a quick 15-minute trip into Traverse City. Overall happy with our experience.
House and property were perfect for an up north get away! Close access to the lake. Only thing is be sure to bring towels (bath and hand) and shower toiletries. There is a warning about the towels!
This was a good cabin for our stay. The location was nice with a view of the water. Also, it was a good location for our family, it wasn’t entirely secluded but other cabins were far enough away to offer privacy and no noise. It was also dog friendly which was a plus.
The inside is as pictured and was very clean! The bathrooms appeared all updated and kitchen had everything we needed. Beautiful home! Bring extra fan for upstairs bedrooms. Very nice wrap around porch but was very dirty. Couldn't touch railings because so many cob/spider webs, floor dirty and I had to sweep right away. Its a log cabin and all the logs were covered with cobwebs. Cabin farther distance than stated. Jason very easy to work with
