Tons of space, clean, incredible views, bon-fires each day, swimming, we rented a boat and docked it all week at this home. Our family had an incredible vacation and made tons of wonderful memories!
We had a fantastic week at this house! The lake is beautiful and we highly recommend renting a pontoon for a few hours so you can see all of it. The house was a good size, nicely kept, air conditioned, etc. We could have done without all the dead animal decor though lol. Highly recommend!
We were up for work and had an amazing time, very clean place right on the water. Nice to come home after working and relax. We went fishing and swimming. Had 1 issues with an appliance and they were on top of it had a new one the next day. Highly recommend!!!
Our stay at Spider Lake was wonderful. Our accommodations were spot on with our needs and our host went above and beyond what we ever expected. Highly recommend this property.
Had a great time on Spider Lake at this large and very clean property. The hill down to the lake (or rather up hill to the house) was a bit challenging for some but was worth the climb every time! The host provided wood for fires on his patio firepit and down by the beach. He also provided ideas for things to do around the area and he was spot on! The local restaurant he recommended was great and the pontoon rentals and river tubing rentals were very accommodating. The house offers many things to do, games, dvds, video games. We would highly recommend. Host was more than accommodating and friendly!
