About this property
Bass Lake waterfront! Close to Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Dunes!
Welcome to the Sweet Cherry! This cottage is part of a 1940s resort that has been updated. We have several cottages along 500 feet of Bass Lake water frontage. We love our little slice of heaven and you will, too! The cottage has two bedrooms (queen beds) and one bath with both washer and dryer. You would have your own private fire ring and access just outside your door to the water. If you don't like dogs, this property is probably not for you. We have doodles that frequent the trails and the beach. They will want to come and say hi at some point, guaranteed! We are located about 10 minutes to Traverse City where you can enjoy all sorts of fun! We are a foody town and we have festivals galore all summer long. We are also a short 30 minutes to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park where you can hike and sightsee to your heart's content. We have 4 (2 adult, 2 child) kayaks, 2 paddle boards, a canoe and I could round up more if needed. I am around if needed, but I won't be in your way if not. We have a strict 4 person maximum, but we do have three other cottages on the same beach that may be open when you want to stay, so if you are hoping to travel with friends or family, let me know and I'll check availability.
