We provide fans in every bedroom and a window A/C unit in the upstairs bedroom as well for those extra hot summer days.

*ABOUT SPIDER LAKE*
Spider Lake is a 459 Acre All Sports Lake with big sections for water-skiing and tubing, small coves for fishing, and a couple islands and sandbars. 'Fast boating' is allowed only between 11:00 am - 7: 30 pm, so the morning and evening are quiet. Many of the coves are no-wake zones all day and great for fishing any time. With lots of bays and coves, you can find somewhere new to explore every day!

*WINE TOURS*
Traverse City is known for its wineries! If you drive up Old Mission or Leelanau Peninsula, there are several wineries to stop by every few miles. Take your own car (& a designated driver!) and have a leisurely drive or book a private or join-in group tour! Many wine tour companies pick-up and drop-off at vacation rentals around the area. Reach out to us before check-in to help plan your trip!

*WINTER SPORTS*
The Winter Sports VASA Singletrack includes more about 10 miles of groomed trails for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, biking or running, and can be accessed just a few miles from the property. The Michigan DNR Designated Snowmobile Trails can also be accessed just a few miles from the home.

Snowshoe at local wineries, enjoy heated dining in private igloos, and come back to enjoy an evening warming up in the sauna!
