Successfully Renting Boats & Cabins Since 1991! The Jurgens & Waller Cabins on all-sports Spider Lake are very unique 2 bedroom cabins with identical floorplans on a very unique piece of land. There are other homes nearby and all are surrounded by a lake and state forest lands; how fun and beautiful, peaceful and healthy! Both cabins were built in the '60s by the Jurgens and Waller families. These cabins were engineer built with quality products, love and affection! Once settled in it's time to take in the change from the norm to Spider Lake and the hilly and green Pere Marquette State Forest! Each of the two cabins has a separate deck with furniture. There is a shared gas and charcoal grill, fire pit, dock, swim area and some boats: row, peddle, 2 kayaks and a canoe; for liability reasons, do not use any boats until we have discussed their use. There are two pontoons boats and a 14' motorboat for rent and moored at the dock. If you want to bring your own boat let me know so we can work out the details. There are 5 islands on the lake and public Island #3 is visible from the dock; it is a destination for those that want to visit and explore the island as it is public. It is very sandy and shallow around the island, great for swimming, and people congregate there so.... There is a very nice boat launch on Spider Lake. Traverse City is about a twenty minute drive and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park is about fifty minutes to the Dune Headquarters in Empire. It is an easy drive to Traverse City and to get around town you can walk, bicycle or use the Traverse Area Recreation Trail known as TART.
