Step back in time and enjoy the timeless charm of this classic lakeside cottage, set on the outskirts of Traverse City. Perched on a picturesque peninsula that reaches into the crystal-clear, spring-fed waters of Spider Lake, this vintage retreat boasts rare dual frontage. On the lakeside, wake up to wide-open sunrise views across 83 feet of sandy-bottom frontage—perfect for swimming. On the peaceful bay side, enjoy breathtaking sunsets, the calls of nesting loons, and a private fishing dock. A boardwalk, boat dock, patios, deck, and screened porch provide the ultimate setting for outdoor fun and relaxation at this waterfront retreat.
