About this property

Tranquility awaits you on Traverse City's, Spider Lake.


Experience lakeside bliss on Spider Lake's -- "Turtle Cove". Your vacation stay includes exclusive use of 120 feet of beachfront, plus your own 26 foot dock as your gateway to Spider's endless water adventures.

This spacious four-bedroom, three (full) bathroom home offers the ultimate blend of comfort, amenities, and nearby convenience to Traverse City's vibrant downtown attraction / entertainment scene.

Wildlife abounds in this heavily wooded area even though Traverse City's only 8 miles away.

Key Highlights:
================================================================
All-Sports Lake: Dive into the excitement of Spider Lake's 459-acres. Being an all-sports lake, it's 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 (with delivery) are readily available.

Outdoor Entertainment Activities: 15+ golf courses nearby; pristine hiking and biking trails along nearby rivers; ORV/Dirt bike trail systems on 33,000+ acres of state land; charter-fish for Salmon/Coho/Cisco/Whitefish/Lake-Trout on Lake Michigan; adrenaline-pumping adventures like hot-air balloon rides, para-sailing and helicopter tours. There's something here for everyone to enjoy!

Fisherman's Paradise: Cast your line off the dock for access to Small and Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Black 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 water's edge with sloped earthen pathway in between.

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.

Other local attractions: Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, Mackinac Island, Two Casinos, Macinac Bridge, etc. There's never a dull moment.

These attractions, and more, are specifically called-out for you with phone numbers and locations in my "Welcome Packet" which I email to you upon your booking to assist in your adventure's planning effort. You won't believe the amount of content in it...

Comfortable Accommodations: ================================================================
After a day of adventure, unwind by a campfire on your beach, or cozy up by the firepit near the house (free firewood provided). 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's licensed by East Bay Township (License Number: STR2022-0020) and accommodates up to 10 guests in our four-bedroom home.

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!

Great house!

We had a fantastic week at this house! The lake is beautiful and we highly recommend renting a pontoon for a few hours so you can see all of it. The house was a good size, nicely kept, air conditioned, etc. We could have done without all the dead animal decor though lol. Highly recommend!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Shawn Antol

Host profile image
I grew up in Traverse City, so I know the area well. My "welcome packet" lists many things for you to explore and experience on your journey to this beautiful place we call home.

Why they chose this property

Spider Lake's very unique in that it offers all the opportunities of a large lake while still maintaining the beauty and peacefulness of a small lake; offering many coves to explore and fish in.

If you've ever been to Traverse City, I don't need to tell you all the fun things to do here... it's truly amazing. We are a "stone's throw" away from Traverse City Airport (~7 miles) and only ~11 miles to Lake Michigan's Grand Traverse West Bay (beaches).

If you've NEVER been to Traverse City, you need to come see what the fuss is all about. And why everybody's trying to move here....

What makes this property unique

Avoid the traffic hassle and crowds of downtown Traverse City. You've got everything you need for a relaxing vacation, right here! Did I mention having your own private beach and dock?
