About this property
Lakefront Cottage on All-Sports Bass Lake, just 15 minutes from Tawas city.
The Nash Cottage built in 1955;
located on 3/4 of an acre, has an impressive 100ft of sand kissed 🏖 beach waiting for your arrival. Shaded by over 70 trees
you’ll get the best of both worlds during your stay at our cozy family setting.
If it’s a slow-pace you desire, there’s a massive deck overlooking the lake in the shade; perfect for meals or bird watching or lounge chairs for napping 💤…or a good book 📖.
For a more active vacation, pack-up your fishing 🎣 poles
kayaks or paddle boards and enjoy our 69 acre lake for hours
of fun! Our all-sports lake is private; no public boat-launch.

About the host
Hosted by Shari Miller
Growing up; our family spent every summer in northern Michigan; biking, swimming, fishing & exploring many destinations. Being a host for families just beginning to explore this beautiful area, has been such a joy:)
Why they chose this property
From the minute you arrive at The Nash Cottage, the feeling is of a warm-hug… waking up & watching the sun ☀️ rise over the lake, the sound of The Loons, while enjoying your first cup of coffee ☕️ & planning out your day:)
What makes this property unique
The privacy of the neighborhood; while many are year rounders…is peaceful. No other properties in the area, offer over 100 ft. of waterfront fun; on just under acre of trees and a manicured lawn.
