spring & summer & fall activities:
boating, kayaking, paddle boating on spider lake There are plenty of trails close by and so much do in and around Traverse city. We also recommend driving around Old Mission Peninsula, Interlochen area, Benzie County, The Leelanau Peninsula, and Elk Lake/Torch Lake areas. Typically, peak color season in these areas is typically mid-October, but seasonal temperatures may impact the exact timing (above average temps will delay peak color; and below average temps will cause colors to peak earlier). Additionally, areas near the lakeshore are typically cooler, therefore colors tend to peak first/earlier in these areas compared to the locations further from the coast. Also, there are many local farms with pumpkin patches, cideries, and plenty of family fun activities. Also, Traverse City is known as wine country! Fall wine tours are very beautiful in Traverse City.
winter activities:
our lakehouse is in a centralized location to many ski/snowboard resorts: hickory hills (138 miles), Mt Holiday (6.7 miles), Crystal Mountain (34.4 miles), Caberfae (46 miles), Boyne Mountain (59.6 miles).
for snow tubing, mt Holiday (6.7miles), Timberlee Hills (19.5 miles)
also, close to many locations for cross country skiing, fat tire biking, and snow shoeing
1 Pets are welcome. We normally do not accept cats due to urination issues on carpet. Let me know beforehand if you are considering bringing a cat. We can discuss however, and a deposit will be required. We do ask that your crate your dog's when you leave the house.

immerse yourself in the beauty of lakeside nature among the loons, swans, ducks, cranes, and deer Fish off the dock, or kayak and pontoon on the lake without having to transport equipment anywhere for launch. Bask in the summer sun on the lake, enjoy the golden Michigan woods in the glow of autumn, or come back to your cozy indoor fireplace for hot cocoa after a day on the ski slopes or snowmobile trails. Plus, just a few meters off your beach is a nice sized island easily accessible by kayak or paddle-boat. Bring supplies to spend the day swimming, have a campfire under the stars, take the kayaks out, hang a hammock for a nap, or play volleyball out on the sandbar.

- the boat is a pontoon boat, not a speed boat, it is meant for cruising, fishing out of, and relaxing in it We do not allow tubing behind the boat either.
- the lake is a typical michigan lake, the shore is not sandy but has vegetation, it's beautiful, but we don't recommend swimming at the shore, but rather at the island which is a very short boat ride, kayak, or paddle boat ride away The island has plenty of space and a huge sandbar, typically with one or two volleyball nets set up.
