'No more expected tips, no ...do not disturb signs, no knocks at the door - Say Hello to a whole house ! Off the Highway, In the Woods and on the Lake - no close neighbors ! Watch the deer wander thru the yard, the fish jumping out front and hear the woodpeckers - well - pecking ! It's the sound of nature that will lull you into the that state of relaxation that is so hard to find anywhere else ! When you are here, you will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere ! With easy access to 'town' - Traverse City that is ! Two bedrooms for a family or two couples to share - plus a sofa bed in the Living Room right in front of the wood burning stone fireplace if needed. An equipped kitchen, microwave, cable TV/VCR and WiFi - will help you feel at home - in the depths of the north woods. A pontoon boat is included seasonally so you can explore the 459 acres of beautiful Spider Lake.

Damage Deposit Required: A $200.00 refundable damage deposit will be required prior to arrival + $100 per pet if pet/pets have been accepted. This will be accepted in the form of a separate check that I can just hold on to, and return after you have left, if there are no problems, damages, missing items or if I can't tell the pet or pets have been there, inside and outside. NOTE: If you eMail me from a YAHOO account - look for my reply in your SPAM folder - some people think I do not respond to their inquiry and end up finding my response in the SPAM folder - this may be true for other eMail accounts also...

**Winter**: Winter - With the Tons of snow we receive, there are plenty of snow activities to choose from.. here are a few... snowball fights, snowman making, snow forts, snow shoeing, x-c skiing, snowmobiling, downhill skiing. Go out and get your cheeks all rosy and come in and have some hot cocoa !

Summer: Summer - Spider Lake is a 459 acre all sports lake with plenty of space to explore, picnic, fish, swim and float. The lake contains a public island and sand bar with lots of sandy bottom shallow area to stop and play. A pontoon boat is included to help you enjoy the lake. An optional fishing boat is available for $225 for the week. Grand Traverse Bay is nearby for additional 'Big Lake' activities with Parasailing, Jet Ski Hourly Rentals, Tall Ship Sailing, Shipwreck Diving, 'Deep Sea' Fishing, Wind Surfing, and more.. This cottage has private waterfront with dock and pontoon boat, it does not have a swimming area. The pontoon boat will take you to the middle of the lake, you can jump off and swim from it like a big swim raft or it will take you to a public island and sand bar where there is a lot of sandy shallow warm water.

Ski: Cross Country Skiing at it's best -- with all the natural snow Grand Traverse County gets, All the State Groomed Trails to use for free ! - just grab your skis or snowshoes and come up to the woods-- get a pot of Chili cooking before you start out and it will be waiting when you get back - forget the 'Miracle Mile' of hotels, motels and restaurants.. stay out here, in the woods and close to nature. Yes, we have downhill slopes nearby if that's your kind of skiing ! There is something for everyone.

Golf: Love to Golf a different place everyday? Would you rather stay 'off the beaten path' ? Why settle for a 'room'....How about a Cabin in the Woods? A Vacation Home on the lake? Would you like to do a little boating or fishing in between rounds? Forget the Hotel on the Miracle Mile! Come stay - in the woods, off the highway and on the lake! You will only feel like you are in the middle of nowhere! There is easy access to town and all the Golf Courses you could possibly want... and they are all a scenic drive away!

Other Activities: Snow shoeing, X-country skiing, snowmobiling

Wilkins Landing II

Honso Troy Michigan
Review Submitted: June 28, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
My wife and I have stayed at Wilkins Landing II on several occasions, for both long weekends and entire weeks. What brings us back is both the location and the cozy atmosphere. When we are at the cottage we can unwind from our busy lives, enjoy a fire in the fireplace, listen to the wind thru the trees, and enjoy the very private lakefront setting. And when we want, the convience of Traverse City and surrounding area are but a short drive away. And speaking of driving, we love the many great golf courses in the region.
We have always found "WL II" clean and comfortable and recommend it for a northern Michigan getaway !!!
Owner's Response: These two long ago, searched out and found this "hidden gem" of a cottage tucked away in the woods on Spider Lake-- lucky them ! Kathy

weekend get-away

Todd R Naperville, IL (Chicago suburbs)
Review Submitted: June 2, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My wife and 2 small dogs (poodles) went to Kathy's cabin for the weekend in May and had a wonderful time. The cabin is clean, updated and nice and quiet on a real nice, clean lake.

I wasnt sure what exactly to expect as I came without any recommendation - but you can be sure.... we loved it!

It is worth the money we spent and even saved money by cooking at the cabin and buyinig groceries in town.

Thanks Kathy!

Cheers,
Todd & Mariel
Owner's Response: Thank you for helping out the next guests with your recommendation. We have 11 places here on Spider Lake, so we have something for everyone... Just let us know what you are looking for and we'll "hook you up" !! This is a pet friendly cottage, in the woods, no close neighbors, on a quiet bay of the lake... Thanks again !

Weekend up north

Bee 2 Fruitport, MI, USA
Review Submitted: March 5, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
The description of the cottage is very accurate. The cabin is very easy to get to from Traverse City. The owner provided us with much snowmobile and tourist information. She made it very easy for us to find our way around the Spider Lake area. Four of us went up for two different snowmobile weekends. We had a fabulous time riding the Traverse City trails and riding across Spider Lake. The cabin is in a very private location and we saw many deer cut across the yard.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for taking time to leave this review. There is something for everyone here - all seasons and all reasons.
