Click on this link to see the cottage grounds
you get to use almost the whole peninsula! 2200 frontage feet

Come enjoy the summer fun or the gorgeous changing fall colors! Our lovely six bedroom home, 2500 square feet, with large windows sits on a hill surrounded by water on two lakes (Spider and Bass Lakes.) It feels like an island but its a peninsula. You enjoy over 2200 feet of scenic lake shore with two private beaches on almost three acres of wooded setting, privacy is assured. Listen to the Loons in the morning and evenings...best of all, it is nestled in a quiet cove off Spider lake where there is tubing, jet-skiing, sailing and two private beaches. You'll enjoy great swimming with many sandy islands on which to picnic. Spider Lake teems with bass, bluegill, perch, pike, walleye and crappie contained within 29 miles of shoreline while Bass Lake is the fisher's secret and is perfect for swimming and peaceful row boating.

The gathering room is the largest and most spectacular room. Views of both lakes surround you. Two Bald Eagles have taken up residency 200 yards to the Northeast and they often use the winds off the hill to soar just above the cottage. All kinds of birds can be viewed the Red Headed Woodpecker, ducks, Loons and Hummingbirds.

This is the view from the Hot Tub, cottage deck or kitchen window on Bass Lake. We own 1600 feet of Bass Lake so no matter where you look, its beautiful. Bass lake has a fire-ring with benches for Ghost Stories. There are big docks, beaches and swim rafts on both Spider and Bass Lake ~ your choice of where to hang out. Yes all the beaches are Private! Yes on both lakes!

DNR island or Sandy island or Party Island or Island number 3, it all depends on who you ask! This island becomes Spider Lake "sandbar like Torch Lake" in the summer. Boaters gather to just have fun, swim, and gather to party.

This is beautiful Brown Bridge Quiet area which is natural, stunning, and peaceful. The swans that occupy it year round along with the many species of birds make it a special trip. Our family walks along the groomed trails everytime we visit.
