Windjammer On The Lake Resort - Cabins, Log Home, and Boat Rentals on Beautiful Spider Lake

Angela and Jason were great to communicate with. Housekeeper had cabin clean. Pontoon boat rental was brand new and awesome (approx. $300-$400/day). Spider Lake was beautiful. Cabin #4, which was recommended to us when booking, would not have been our choice. Very old and worn out, but most importantly: 1. Mattresses, couch, and the one chair were overwhelmingly uncomfortable. Absolutely nothing in the cabin was comfortable. Only one person can see TV from the couch because TV is mounted to the wall and couldn't swivel. For $300+ a night, absolutely zero comfort is unacceptable. 2. The 2 entrances/exits (kitchen door & back sliders) have zero privacy. The communal firepit and balcony are right there and look right directly into cabin #4. The view was nice of the lake. 3. If

When the cabin states there is a sleeper sofa bed as one of the available options you expect it to be clean, since you do pay a 3 figure cleaning fee. When sofa cushions were removed, there were many acorns found that were not cleaned in months. There was sand there as well that was not swept and acorns on the chair. I get that you are by water but the dead bugs and cobwebs that were hanging from the ceiling were not cleaned in months. Fans were so dusty you couldn’t turn them on. Staff is not very responsive when called or emailed. Seems like they don’t want your money. They advertise free kayaks which they have 3, but no life jackets available. Instead they tell you to take them from the boats. They have a great set up but I think it’s too much for the current owners.

We rented cabin #9 in mid august 2022. We had 11 people that stayed with us. Even with that many people, it did not feel crowded. There's space for everyone, whether its in one of the 4 bedrooms, in the huge living/dining area or on the spacious deck. The lake is amazing for kids. Very clean, very clear. Nice sandy bottom. Water is less than 4 feet deep about 100 feet from shore. It does gradually drop off after that, but there was plenty of swim room for our kids. I would recommend Windjammer Resorts to anyone looking to have a nice vacation in the Traverse City area.(Update) We re-rented Cabin #9 in August of 2023. We brought the same group up to stay for 5 days. The owners have bought new pontoon boats that were a major upgrade over the old ones. Nothing is wrong with the older boats, b

Recently stayed in Cabin 9 for a family vacation. The setting is absolutely gorgeous and even though all other cabins on the property were rented by a very large and active group, cabin 9 was very peaceful, however that quiet comes at the expense of a very limited view of the lake. The property is extremely well maintained and has a good amount of amenities. The beach area is well kept and the swimming area at the property has a predominantly soft sandy bottom. The newer pontoon boats are very well maintained and extremely comfortable for a day out on the lake, in addition I really loved that renting a tube is an option and the on site kyacks that are open for resort guest use. The owners truly thought of anything and everything. The reason for four stars instead of five is for cabin #9 i

This is a wonderful place to relax and play with family. With grandkids ages ranging from 16 to 3 there was enough for everyone to do. The lake was so clear and cabins and outside area was clean and well kept. The boats available to rent are in great condition and makes for a great day for tubing and fishing. Close enough to go on day adventures too. Made smores in the fire pit every night. They have three kayaks that are guests can take out any time to a little island that you can go explore.
