Beautiful Lake! Great Location!

Loved the area. Close to Traverse City but you feel out in the country. Went to island sandbar everyday on Spider Lake, which was 5 min paddleboat ride from cabin. Loved the deck, sandy beach, and view. Cabin was perfect size for family of 3. Overall Great Getaway.

This was perfect. We had 2 couples and a single. We used all three cottages. So much space, outdoor amenities and proximity to Traverse City. The cottages were adorable and had everything we needed.

Nice place

We really enjoyed our stay here. We had to purchase batteries for the remotes in the TV's and for the a\c unit. Not a big deal. Everything else met our expectations and we enjoyed our stay.

Overall we had a good stay. This was definitely a property that would be better for summer. It took a long time for cabins to heat up but it was a snowstorm when we got there. Some of the furniture had a lot of loose screws that need some attention. Beds were definitely not queens in any of the cabins. Hot tub was great. Lots of dishes and pots and pans which was great for 3 families. All in all a good stay and we all thought this would be great in the fall/summer months.

Cozy and quaint!

We had family stay in all 3 cottages at Betty's Hideout while we had a family reunion on Spider Lake. While not there for most of the daytime, it was wonderful to have a quiet place to retreat to and rest for the next day's activities. Waking up to the sounds of loons was awesome! We had one cottage with a quirky coffee maker and it was replaced the same day! Very responsive hosts and we would definitely rent again! Thank you!
