Moonlight Bay Resort

Located on beautiful Spider Lake, Moonlight Bay Resort is the best-kept secret in Traverse City. Come to relax in one of our private, spacious, cozy cottages. Peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown traffic but still close enough for day trips in town, our cottages include everything you will need to make Moonlight Bay Resort your home away from home. Most cottages have double sofa sleepers, cable television, easy chairs and ceiling fans. There are many windows for lake breezes and beautiful views.

Our cottages include everything you will need to make Moonlight Bay Resort your home away from home. Kitchens are completely equipped with stoves, microwaves, refrigerators, automatic coffee makers, toasters and a supply of dishes, pots, pans, glasses, silverware and cooking utensils. When you need cool down, our cottages all have air conditioning and portable fans. Our cottages are heated by gas furnaces, but as an extra plus, there are wood burning stoves too. Bathrooms have showers or bathtubs. Portable cribs and highchairs are also available for rent for the littlest family members
