About this property

Waterfront home on Spider Lake. Near TC. Pool Table, Arcade game, AC! Pet ok.

The main level has a spacious living room/kitchen combo with a great view of the lake. Large flat panel TV with cable. Walk out to the large deck right off of the living room. Fully stocked kitchen with gas stove, dishwasher, and all the tools you need to prepare meals for the entire family. There is also a wood-burning fireplace in the living room.

On the main level, there are 2 bedrooms (1 King, 2 Queens) each of these bedrooms features "Smart T.V.s”, not Cable TV s, 1 full bathroom, and 1 half bath.

Upstairs features a King bed and full bathroom.

Walk-out lower level, there are three bedrooms- 1 Queen, 2 twins, 2 twins and 1 Full bathroom. Terrific family/game room to hang out. Play some pool, shuffleboard, or Pac-man then kick back and relax with a large TV with cable! Enclosed porch area off of lower level family room that overlooks the water (the outdoor room can get hot and muggy in the heat of summer)

Outdoors can't be beaten. There is room to play private lakefront to have some water fun. The shore is a little soft and the sand gets harder as you go out into the lake. There are 4 Kayaks, a canoe, and a peddle boat for water fun and to get out to the swim raft! Rent a pontoon and be sure you take a tour and visit the little islands on this lake. Makes for a fun picnic! If you are bringing your own boat, the boat launch is just down the street. There is a dock at the house and up to a 22' boat can be tied to it. There are 20 steps terraces down to the lake. Walk to the boat launch. A gas grill, outdoor furniture, and a fire pit all add to your experience. You can bet Tippicanoe Lodge will be a great vacation.

Spider Lake is located 12 miles south of the downtown Traverse City area. Easy trip to the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival only 11.5 miles to the Festival, Shopping is conveniently located just 5 miles away. Enjoy festivals, wine tours, hiking, biking, music, and more. Elmbrook Golf Course is 5 miles away. There is so much to do in the great up north.

Nice place but.....
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Although the home was very large and would accommodate a lot of people, the communication prior to our arrival was extremely off-putting. There was a contract that required my initials in 43 different spots. The contract itself was intimidating. I was even required to provide the names of all my family members attending the 2 night stay. This, in my opinion is over the top and because of this, I will stay away from renting from this company in the future. The individuals I spoke with prior to our stay, were both understanding and affable and sensitive to our needs. Thank you for that.The house itself, once again, had more rules posted throughout the house along with the requirement to have us strip the beds and take the garbage out to the bin on a certain day. Again in my opinion, this is not what I pay a high price for; this is my vacation time. If I wanted to do housework, I'd have stayed home. Not appropriate at all.

Great house on Spider Lake
Our group enjoyed the overall location and spaciousness of this lake house. It's close to everything we wanted to do, plus was in a beautiful setting on top of it! The kitchen had everything we needed, and then some. Beds were very comfortable. It was nice to have garage access to store our bicycles. We would definitely stay here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was lovely and the location was ideal. Spider Lake is quite beautiful and we enjoyed the use of the kayaks, canoe, and pedal boat as well as swimming off the raft. It was also close to Traverse City and near enough to Interlochen Arts camp where one of our family members teaches in the summer to make it the perfect place to all get together. The house was extremely well kept and looked better than in the photographs. There was plenty of room for everyone to do things together and to separate at times. The kitchen was well equipped and having 2 refrigerators was great. We had room for everything and were able to cook almost all of our meals there. We hope to stay in Tippicanoe Lodge again next year.

Great, but with issues not addressed
House and location were great. Everything VRBO advertised was accurate. Accommodated 11 mature adults Living area roomy: kitchen well stocked. Issues: Living area VERY dark. 2 lamps with 3 way capability and 60 w bulbs: one overhead chandelier did not work: leaking shower head: remotes missing batteries: driveway plowed, but not scraped; therefore very icy. Dishwasher did not work. Three calls to Up North Rental Vacations to report issues: One call spoke with Lindsay who said owner would be by to address issues. Two calls re dishwasher: left messages. NO RESPONSE FROM UP NORTH RENTALS. Customer service lacking and therefore we will neither return to nor recommend this property.
