Family vacation

We really enjoyed the week at Big Bass Lake! Your cottage was a great place to stay for the week. We got plenty of good fishing in and much needed relaxation. The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed and will definitely look to rent your cottage again in the future. Thanks for responding to my questions very timely and thanks for allowing us to stay at your cottage 😊

Wonderful cottage and location!

My husband and I spent a week at this cottage and we did not want to leave! The view from the living room is amazing. Even though you share a beach with four other homes, it doesn’t take away from the experience at all. The water was clean and we were so lucky that the weather was beautiful. The kitchen was fully stocked and we really enjoyed the deck. The hostess was great with any questions we had. We will be coming back for sure!

Nice, peaceful and relaxing

The cabin is cute and very clean sitting close to the beautiful warm lake. The kitchen was well stocked, including spices. Kayaks, floats, and several lawn games were provided. We enjoyed days of kayaking, floating, riding bikes, reading, playing yard games, bonfires and watching the boats go around. Very nice private area. We enjoyed our time there very much.

Memories

My husband and I arrived with his brother and his wife. Big Bass Lake was their family, yearly summer vacation spot. The 4 of us were very comfortable inside, outside, while we slept and when we cooked. The kitchen is well equipped. I made hummingbird food and sat for hours watching them feed. It is a quiet spot with easy access to any supplies you might need. Big Bass Lake holds such a special place in my husband’s family that a few years ago when his sister passed, her ashes were spread there. This home was a great place to relive all of their family memories.

We spent three nights at this wonderful family getaway. It accommodated five adults and two kids comfortably. It was just what we needed. My grandson had his “best vacation ever” he’s nine. We had everything we needed. The house was as described with plenty of things to keep us busy.

The location of this VRBO was excellent. The private beach area was charming, and having access to the kayaks was a wonderful bonus. It’s also conveniently located—just a 35-minute drive to Ludington, which made for a great day trip. Overall, a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway!

Big Bass Lake House

The property is as described in the listing. The host responds quickly to all inquiries/questions. During our stay, the "neighborhood" was quiet. The house is very clean and the kitchen is well equipped to prepare meals. Ample linens of good quality are provided. The deck furniture allows for comfortable seating for the number of guests the house accommodates. The beach and deck umbrellas are great for shade on the sunny deck. Great view of the lake. We would recommend to others interested in a relaxing, northern Michigan vacation in a quality rental and would stay again.

Fun For the Whole Family!

What a nice summer getaway! The house was clean and nicely decorated, the beds were comfy, the kitchen was stocked, and the deck was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the sunshine! There's plenty of activities provided to keep you busy, with kayakes, a pedal boat and rafts to enjoy the beach area, we spent most of our time outside. We also brought badminton and some other outdoor activities and there was plenty of room on the property for them all. As mentioned in other reviews, there's not much for dining/shopping in the area. The closest store we found was 17 minutes away, which had great jerkey and an assortment of fresh meats. I'd suggest bringing your own food and making use of the kitchen. One other thing to note, there's a flock of geese that love the yards which is fun to watch, but bring watershoes or flip flops, cuz you'll need them! Victoria was an amazing host, very friendly and attentive, and the property manager Fran was fantastic too! Would visit again in the future!

Family Vacation

Victoria is wonderful! So easy to communicate with and very responsive and helpful! The house is adorable and the lake is beautiful. The pontoon is such a lovely addition and the ability to dock our fishing boat right in front of the house was a huge asset. Only challenge about our stay was that we found the intermittent/unavailable cell coverage to be difficult. One rental suggestion is to update the mattresses and pillows. Otherwise, very cute place and a great fit for our family. Would love to come again!
