This is a vintage cottage with recent upgrades including the AC. The dock to ourselves was great and the kids caught fish daily. This is a perfect size for a couple adults and a couple kids. We would stay here again for sure.

We stayed for 10 days at the end of August which was really wonderful. Cottage was small, but had everything we needed. There were a few glitches with electrical outlets, but the hosts were responsive and problems were solved quickly. The area was well described as quiet, and it absolutely was very quiet, we hardly knew other cottages were occupied and the quiet was really appreciated. There was a nice covered outdoor space with netting which was a comfortable place to sit when bugs were out, and the chairs on the dock made a pleasant spot to sit and read when it wasn’t raining. It got very humid a few days due to all the rain during several nights, so the AC unit was much appreciated. In all, this cottage made a great home base for us to leisurely explore the Leelanau peninsula and go into Traverse City.

Sometimes the Host goes the extra mile to provide a place that is welcoming and comfortable. Kathy and Mike do that! Cotton sheets (not cheap polyester), cute decor, all the amenities (even q-tips and night lights)…they even brought us a welcome basket with locally produced cherry treats! These are Hosts that make you feel like welcome Guests, not just income-producing Renters. Thank you, Kathy and Mike!

Relaxing dog friendly get away

Highly recommend for a relaxing nature-filled stay. It was perfect for a stay with an active dog who loved the lake. Access to the kayaks and paddle boat was also great. Really peaceful.

Nostalgic Lake Cabin

Nostalgic lake cabin, with modern updates. Comfortable living space with plenty of outdoor seating to relax and enjoy the lake view. It was a nice landing spot and central to several sight seeing attractions.

Cute weekend getaway

Cute little cabin for us and our three kids to get away. We loved the little beach, the dock, and the boats. There were lots of games inside, the heater was just right to keep it cozy, and everything was very comfortable. Thank you!!

Cute cabin

Convenient location, and loved the dock area. Easy to drag our kayaks out. Really loved wakimg up and using the hammock. Very mucky lake, but the geese and cranes were so wonderful to watch and listen to. Cabin was quaint, but exactly what we needed. Clean too!

Summer 24 family vacation

This property was super cute. Great setup with plenty of areas to hangout by the lake. Super comfortable and relaxing. Bass Lake was quiet and we loved all the sandy beach area and the fishing was great too. Our family enjoyed it a lot. We would absolutely come back.

A quiet oasis

A hidden gem located just a hop skip and a jump from all the places we love to visit and things we love to do! Waking up to the loons warbling , NO traffic sounds, a dock for my dock diving dog, a sandy shore for my " track the fishies" dog, a hammock, an outdoor eating area and a cozy cottage to relax in! It doesn't get any better for a much needed wind down get-a-way from work.

Peaceful cabin

The cabin was perfect for our peaceful getaway. It was clean, nicely decorated and had everything we needed. The cabin was situated on a wooded lot on a quiet lake. We had our own private beach and pier. My husband loved fishing off the pier in the mornings and we kayaked on the lake in the afternoon. We were just a short drive from Traverse City and area. It was the perfect place for us. Thanks to our hosts Mike and Kathy. They were very helpful.

Nice quiet get away

The cabin is situated with 3 other cabins on the property but there’s plenty of space between them for privacy and quiet. You have your own small dock, little beach with chairs, hammock, fire pit, and a gazebo. All with access to a nice sized quiet lake that you can launch kayaks from if you bring your own. The cabin while not hugely spacious is a good size for a couple and 1 or 2 kids. The pictures don’t do the place Justice, it exceeded our expectations. The location is perfect too. 10-15 min to downtown TC and 30-40 min to the dunes but you’re in the middle of the country where it’s quiet. You can’t go wrong staying here!

Fall Color weekend

This little cabin on the lake was the perfect getaway to check out Michigan's Fall colors. It was a bit rainy, so we didn't get to enjoy the firepit, but we loved the view of the lake and the coziness of the cabin. The cabin's central location was an easy drive from M22 and M119. It has most everything you need for a weekend away. There is just a toaster oven and cooktop, not a full stove, so keep that in mind if you're planning on eating in most of your stay. And if you visit in the cooler season, don't bring a ton of electronics or you'll flip the breakers when you plug in the heaters.

Beautiful location!

We really enjoyed our stay! Beautiful location, all the amenities we needed were there. Host very communicative when we had a small issue. The only two things that could be improved upon: 1. A shelf above the bed- the person sleeping on the inside has no where to put their things. 2. A mesh wifi extender- we had internet, but signal was very weak, and my phone was kicked off of it about half the time. Otherwise a great stay, and would stay again!
