Waterfront in Traverse City. Pool table. Hot tub. Dogs okay.

The main level features a spacious living room/kitchen combo with a great view of the Spider Lake. There's a large flat-panel TV with cable and a large deck just off the living room. The fully stocked kitchen includes a gas stove, dishwasher, and all the tools needed to prepare meals for the whole family. Additionally, there is a wood-burning fireplace in the living room. There are two bedrooms: one with a king bed and the other with two queens, each equipped with "Smart TVs” rather than Cable TVs. There is also one full bathroom and a half bath.

Upstairs, there's a bedroom with a king bed and a full bathroom.

The walk-out lower level features three bedrooms. One room has a queen, the other rooms have two twins and one full bathroom. There's a fantastic family/game room to relax in, with opportunities to play pool, shuffleboard, or Pac-Man. Afterward, you can unwind in front of a large TV with cable! There's also an enclosed porch off the lower level family room that overlooks the water (please note that the outdoor room can get hot and muggy in the heat of summer).

The outdoor area is fabulous. You'll find private lakefront with plenty of space for water activities. There are approximately 25 stairs down to the water. The shore is a bit soft, and the sand gets harder as you move out into the lake. There are four kayaks, a canoe, and a pedal boat available for water fun, as well as a swim raft. There's a boat launch just down the street if you want to bring your own boat or rent one. The property also has a dock where a boat up to 22' can be tied. Additionally, a gas grill, outdoor furniture, and a fire pit enhance the outdoor experience. Tippicanoe Lodge promises to be an unforgettable vacation. A well-behaved dog is welcome with an additional nonrefundable cleaning fee. However, their humans are expected to clean up after their pets outside.

Grace McDonald Park is about 2 miles from the house. Spider Lake is located 12 miles south of downtown Traverse City. It's an easy trip to the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival, which is only 11.5 miles away. Shopping is conveniently located just 5 miles from the property. At various times throughout the year you can also enjoy festivals, wine tours, hiking, biking, music, and more. Elmbrook Golf Course is only 5 miles away. There's so much to do in this great northern area.
