6 adults/2 children
Maple Woods Cottage, “A kid’s paradise and a parent’s dream!” A quote from one of our 2022 renters! We feel they have perfectly summed it up! Six adults/2 children.
Be sure to view our video! Ask about our cancellation policy. Nothing VRBO offered as a choice matched what we’ve been doing successfully for 18 years now! At the end of a quiet, private road, and nestled among majestic pine, beech, oak, and maple trees, this gorgeous cottage is the lakefront retreat you have been looking for!
Downstairs you will find an inviting, tastefully furnished, living room with a beautiful stone-faced, gas log fireplace. A large Smart TV and Blu-Ray player with lots of DVD's from which to choose, as well as a Wave Radio/CD Player. An expansive picture window overlooks Bass Lake including a beautiful, sandy beach. The dining area boasts an artfully designed table that can seat up to ten comfortably.
The kitchen is fully-appointed with stainless appliances, utensils, and equipment for casual to elegant entertaining. Quartz counter-tops and a beautiful tile back-splash, as well as a large peninsula for prep work and serving. A utility room with stacked washer/dryer and a large pantry are just off the kitchen. We leave detergents and dryer sheets for your use (we ask that you launder towels prior to your departure). Additionally, downstairs you will find the beautiful master bedroom complete with king-size bed, Smart TV, dressing room, and bath with walk-in shower. A large picture window overlooks the lake. Wi-Fi throughout the house.
Upstairs, you will first enter the den/TV room.... a perfect hide-away for the kids (or adults seeking solitude). The den is furnished with a comfortable small couch, a double ottoman, a comfy chair, as well as floor pillows for comfy movie-watching (Smart TV). Two large bedrooms and a beautiful bath with tub/shower finish the second floor. Both bedrooms have picturesque views of the lake and the woods. One is furnished with a queen bed as well as a daybed and TV. The other upstairs bedroom also boasts a queen-size bed and a twin bed, with a door into the upstairs bathroom (can be used as a second Master). Both upstairs bedrooms have built-in desks.
The cottage has central air-conditioning and heat, as well as two upstairs units to help cool on those hot summer days.
Finally, the cottage has two gorgeous porches and a large deck... the porch and deck across the entire front of the home overlook the lake, private sunning patio and beach as well as the boat dock and playground. The fire pit is on the patio. There is a great deal of seating for entertaining and a large dining table that seats 6-8 for outdoor dining. The rear porch overlooks beautiful Michigan woods and holds the gas-grill.
Maple Woods Cottage is a private, family retreat on Bass Lake, a 96 acre all-sports lake. Much of the lake's shoreline is dedicated to a state park, which makes it a sanctuary for wildlife including loons, herons, white-tailed deer, raccoons, beavers, and a variety of game fish such as bass, walleye, pike, perch and bluegill. The lake is a ideal for swimming, boating, fishing, skiing, and tubing. We provide a fishing boat with motor, 4 kayaks, a swim raft and a pedalboat for casual summer fun. In the winter, the Bass Lake area is known for ice skating, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing, as well as downhill skiing at Crystal Mountain.
We are just minutes from the Interlochen Arts Center, Traverse City and Grand Traverse Bay, Crystal Mountain Ski & Golf Resort, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Seashore, Leland, Shanty Town, numerous wineries, concert halls, Leelanau Sands Casino, award-winning golf courses, Little Betsie River and Lake Michigan.

About the host
Hosted by Bonnie Paisley Mizell
Rick and I live in Central Florida where I am a retired science educator and he is a retired Senior Music Producer for Disney Entertainment.
Why they chose this property
We built our home in Interlochen, Michigan, to be close to the Interlochen Center for the Arts where Rick spent 7 summers on staff. We have come to love not only Interlochen, but all that Northwestern Michigan has to offer, especially on our beautiful lake!
What makes this property unique
Two of my favorites are enjoying coffee on the front deck while listening to the loons AND floating on a raft on our beautiful lake! Our grandchildren love to tube, and the sightseeing, shopping, golfing, and restaurants in the area are amazing! We catch fish right off of the dock and make s'mores under the stars! We accept Pay Pal in addition to personal checks and VRBO Booking.
