Perfect weekend getaway

Perfect location right on the lake which was clean and warm, but refreshing. You can literally walk to the convenience store and Na-tah-ka bar. The loft was perfect for our larger group and even had an AC unit. This place has everything you need for a great time!

WOW! Amazing place to stay.

Everything here was perfect! Beautiful setup overlooking big bass lake with a true feel of Northern Michigan. Every person on the lake and at every restaurant is so friendly. I would highly recommend taking your family or friends to this spot and I will definitely return soon. I have traveled and stayed all across the U.S.A and this is by far one of the locations yet! It is soooo... easy to schedule your stay here and you won’t regret it. Thanks again!!!
