Great setup for a low-key getaway

We rented the place for 4 adults and 2 kids and the place was almost too big for us. The house was a bit outdated but very clean. The house came with a pontoon boat that could not be used for tubing, but we certainly enjoyed fishing and going swimming every single day that we were at the lake! When we had a problem with the boat, the owner quickly responded to our needs and gave us a replacement boat. There is a sandbar that is super close to the house so my little kids stayed in the water for hours. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Great family stay

We stayed in the main house with different generations of family. The upstairs of the house was perfect for gathering together, outside or inside, cooking meals and eating together. The amenities of the pontoon boat, paddle boats and kayaks were perfect especially with the most popular shallow swimming island within a short distance from the home. Our kids (7,11,13) enjoyed the independence of kayaking or paddle boating to and around the island while we could watch from the deck. Kathleen was a helpful and gracious host. The only downside was the basement floor was a bit dark and felt a little more closed in, but since we only slept there and spent most our out time upstairs it wasn’t a big deal. Great memories.

Nice week at the lake!

Property was roomy for our group of 8 adults and 4 children age 7 and under. Lots of water toys provided including a pontoon boat. Location is right on a lovely lake with an island/sand bar in easy reach. Close to Traverse City for bars, restaurants etc. If I could make a suggestion to make it better i would ask to add laundry and maybe a dehumidifier for the lower level. All in all- a great place for a large family vacation!

Great Time On The Lake

We had a wonderful time at the Oaks Resort at Spider Lake. Kathleen and Tom, the owners, were great and made us feel so welcome and at ease. The lake house was great with a wonderful view of the lake. Our five grandchildren had a fabulous time swimming, fishing, and boating. The fishing was great right off of the dock! A great time was had by all, Grand parents, adult children and grand children. Thank you Kathleen and Tom! Steve
