About the host
Hosted by Michelle Logandro
I live in Ventura County, California, and I grew up in a large family of 8 children. I have a beautiful family of my own that includes three girls and we have many furry animal babies! I enjoy Hosting other families at our cabin because I absolutely love hearing how they have created family memories that last forever like I have had with my mine.
Why they chose this property
My family has been going to Bass Lake for over 80 years and the Desmond French Lakefront Retreat has been in our family for almost 40 years. My favorite thing about our property is how serene and peaceful it is and it provides me with a soulful reset when I visit.
What makes this property unique
The location is incredible! Staying right on the water is a game changer if you’ve never experienced it. Being able to wake up to the sounds of the lake and having a quiet coffee watching nature out the window, or over the water, is like no other. Mornings on the lake is a reset in itself with its stillness and serenity, but the evenings are just as incredible. You can stay in the summer when the lake is “popping” with fun recreational activities, or in one of the slower and quieter times of the year. Each season brings its own special charm and peacefulness.
