We spent 3 great days at Spider Lake. Cabin # 3 was well furnished and fits for up to 6-7 people. We enjoyed the lake view and the possibility to have a own barbecue in front of each cabin. Michele was very helpful with the booking, providing us with a heater etc. and making certain everything is alright. We can... More

The Windjammer Resort Cottages on Spider Lake is a wonderful place to stay! First of all, in booking over the phone with Michelle, I just felt an amazing warmth and welcoming I immediately knew that the Windjammer was going to be a 'special place' to stay while we did our transition from Florida to our new residency in Traverse City....

First of all, the location is amazing! The cabins surround a shared fire pit that overlook the Spider Lakes, and it looks absolutely gorgeous in the morning. The cabin itself has a rustic charm that we loved. The place was well-lit and clean. We were in cabin 7 and there was a living room space, a kitchen, and three bedrooms--way... More

We are always hesitant when we book a new place site unseen, but we were PLEASANTLY surprised when we arrived. We stayed in Rustic Cabin #4 - it was clean, mostly well maintained and perfect for the two of us + a small dog. Keith and Theresa are on site at all times to assist with any requests, and Michelle... More

Stayed in Cabin #5 at the Windjammer Resort. It was spectacular! The cottage and area was spotless! Felt we could move in without any hesitation. We had three small children with us and felt very comfortable! The owners, Michele and Paul and the managers, Theresa and Keith felt like family by the end of our four day visit! The beach... More

My family and I stayed in the Log Home and it was incredible. Beautiful home that was spotless upon our arrival. There was plenty of room for all of us (7 adults, 2 children and 1 dog). Everyone loved it. The property was gorgeous. We all wished we could stay longer. We will definitely be back and definitely recommend this... More

When we started planning our family vacation, we had to make some tough choices. Some of us really like camping and one of us (Mom) strongly prefers hotels. So we searched for a place where we could vacation that was somewhere in between. We chose Windjammer Resort and had a great time! The atmosphere was very family friendly and we... More

We stayed in cabin #8, which was spotless, comfortably furnished, and modern. It has a master bedroom and another bedroom with bunk beds, along with a pullout couch. It has a large balcony overlooking the lake. The lake is very clean and the small resort is quiet. The manager is responsive to your needs and friendly. Overall, it was a... More

We stayed in cabin number 7. It is a 3 bedroom cabin. It has a queen size bed and in the other two rooms were two bunk beds. The carpet is not in the greatest condition but the rest of the cabin has a very excellent clean modern look. The kitchen and the living room are all one great room.... More

Our screen door would not lock. our TV took 1 minute to turn on and when it did all the colors were red. You may do what you... More
