Its a wonderful little cabin, clean and cozy. We spent most of our time sitting outside enjoying the view of the lake and how quiet and peaceful it was. I'm looking forward to staying there again in the future.

Great little cottage on the lake. Good location to downtown traverse city. The kayaks, canoe, paddle board, etc offered by the home was a huge plus to make lake usage easy. Great place to stay, would absolutely come back.

It was a cute house right on the water for a weekend stay. The kitchen was stocked and plenty of TP and paper towel. We enjoyed the beds - super soft. The path down to the fire pit was a little rough if you had littles or were unstable on your feet, but it was a great location. Would definitely book here again.

Great property, location, and host! Bass lake was perfect for relaxing and kayaking with minimal speed racers on the water and the fireworks display on 4th was excellent.

We came for a wedding in the area and had a fantastic stay. The location & Lake were very quiet. Kayaking, a beach bonfire and friends that stayed a couple cabins down made the weekend even better! Cute cabin with all the essentials. We’d totally stay there again.

Cottage was clean and the lake view was nice. The kayaks, paddle boards, and canoe that were provided were nice and we utilized those to explore the lake. There was no central air conditioning for the unit, however, there was a portable air conditioner in the main space. The bedrooms did get a little warm and we utilized the fans provided to circulate the air conditioning. The strike plates on the doors were not properly installed and made the doors hard to open. The hosts were exceptionally nice and friendly. The location of the cabin was nice and close to everything that we wanted to see. Overall, our experience was a very pleasant one and we would utilize this cabin again.

Beautiful lakefront

Enjoyed being close to Traverse City yet outside of the city on a quiet lake. Sitting by the fire at night listening to the loons was the best.
