Tranquility awaits you, on Spider Lake Only 15 minutes from Traverse City!


Experience lakeside bliss at Spider Lake's "Turtle Cove".

Escape to your own private paradise on the shores of Spider Lake, where 120 feet of pristine beachfront beckons you to indulge in endless water adventures. This spacious four-bedroom, three-bathroom home offers the ultimate blend of comfort, convenience, and outdoor excitement.

Key Highlights:

All-Sports Lake: Dive into the excitement of Spider Lake, a sprawling 450-acre all-sports lake perfect for canoeing, kayaking, high-speed boating, tubing, fishing, and jet-skiing. Don't worry if you didn't bring your own water toys, as rentals are readily available and get delivered to the public boat-launch or the house at your convenience.

Fisherman's Paradise: Cast your line off the dock and reel in Bass, Bluegill, Crappie, and Northern Pike without ever leaving your own backyard. Note: There are thirty-three (33) physical 'steps' from the top of the driveway at the house, down to the waters edge with sloped earthen pathway in between.

Endless Activities: With over 15 golf courses nearby, pristine biking trails like the VASA Pathway, and adrenaline-pumping adventures like hot-air balloon rides and helicopter tours, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Explore the Area: Embark on wine tours, discover microbreweries, or cruise Lake Michigan aboard the "Tallship Manitou," "Discovery Pier," "Wind Dancer," or "Nauti Cat." Don't miss the opportunity to witness Traverse City's beautiful skyline from the water.

Convenient Amenities: From canoeing on the Boardman River (a Blue Ribbon Trout Stream), to exploring the MCCCT Dirt Bike Trail, the possibilities for outdoor fun are endless. Plus, nearby attractions like Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, Mackinac Bridge, and Traverse City's vibrant entertainment scene ensure there's never a dull moment.

Comfortable Accommodations: After a day of adventure, unwind by a campfire on your beach, or cozy up by the firepit near the house. Rainy days are no match for the five SmartTVs for your streaming services, (3,500+) video games from the 1980's and 90's, board games, (free) slot machines, and a vast selection of DVDs for all ages.

License & Capacity: Rest assured, our property is licensed by East Bay Township (License Number: STR2022-0020) and comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests in our four-bedroom home. Ample sleeping arrangements ensure everyone can rest easy.

Experience the Best of Northern Michigan: Whether you're seeking outdoor thrills, relaxation by the lake, or exploration of the surrounding area, "Spider Lake's - Turtle Cove" offers the perfect blend of adventure and tranquility. Book your getaway today and discover why we're proud to call this place home!

Beautiful views
Had a great time on Spider Lake at this large and very clean property. The hill down to the lake (or rather up hill to the house) was a bit challenging for some but was worth the climb every time! The host provided wood for fires on his patio firepit and down by the beach. He also provided ideas for things to do around the area and he was spot on! The local restaurant he recommended was great and the pontoon rentals and river tubing rentals were very accommodating. The house offers many things to do, games, dvds, video games. We would highly recommend. Host was more than accommodating and friendly!
