Awesome location!

This cottage was absolutely perfect for myself and dog. It was very peaceful and a great place to have friends over for a cookout on the deck. Super close to TC but not to close. I really enjoyed the loons and the blue herons that I saw and heard daily. I would definitely recommend this cottage and will certainly be staying here again!

Happy lake cottage

Cozy lake cottage, super responsive and friendly owners. If you want a place to unplug from the grind, this is it. Loons sing in the night and the patio offers excellent lake viewing. Close to downtown Traverse City. Cabin is very well equipped with fans and cooking implements.

Wonderful place and host

Perhaps the best place we have stayed. Great location, very comfortable both inside and out, and the host was top notch. We had a couple minor issues and they were resolved immediately. The pictures are exactly what you get--no surprises. We will stay there again when we get back to the area.

Cozy Cottage

What a wonderful and cozy cabin! Everything you could possibly need was steps away….amazing deck with lake view, fire pit, dock with rocking chairs and kayaks just a few cabins away. We had a great and relaxing time on the lake! Thank you for an amazing stay.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy

My name is Mike Olson. I grew up in Traverse City and now live in Illinios. I enjoy spending time at our cabin with my wife and two kids. I am an information technology professional that travels quite a bit. So far, I've been able to commute out of the Cherry Capital Airport during the summer and spend a lot of time at the lake.

Why they chose this property

My wife spent her summers growing up on Bass Lake with her family. Now, several family members own property on the lake including the group that bought these quaint cabins with us. We love being so close to town, and yet looking out on such a serene setting. The kids really enjoy seeing all the wildlife including turkeys, deer, loons, owls, foxes, woodpeckers, beaver, turtles, frogs, and all the other Northern Michigan wildlife. The sandbars are a great place to swim and wade around with the little ones. We enjoy catching up with friends there while floating in the lake or tossing around a football. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

I enjoy fishing for bass or just taking the kids out to fish for bluegills. The evening boat rides around the lake are great, and we waterski every chance we get. Once a week or so we head over to Boones and have dinner on the big deck while enjoying a local singer play some tunes. We also frequent Oaky's and Bradley's for good food and entertainment. They are close to the cabins.
