A Hidden Gem

This house is located on a quiet lake and we had a great time swimming, kayaking, and riding in the pontoon boat. We saw bald eagles flying over the lake in the morning. The host provided everything we needed, including life jackets, towels, and water toys. There were ample bedrooms for our two families with kids. The property manager was very helpful when we had an issue come up requiring a repair and got it fixed the same day.

Perfect in every way

This place was perfect for our family of 12. Beautiful view of the lake on both sides of this cottage which actually is a home!!! It is extremely well furnished, clean and organized!! Has all the extras!!! Communication was excellent! We had great weather and enjoyed all their yard games, kayaks, and paddle boards! Lots of fish were caught as well! They even spoiled us with some local treats to welcome us! Our ages ranged from 80 down to 8 - there was something for everyone to do!

Perfect Lake Getaway!

Myself and 5 other family members stayed at this beautiful lake house for a week! We absolutely loved every minute and had a great time making memories in the great UP! We traveled from Kentucky to the UP and was able to find something to get into everyday. We even took a day to sit around and relax. Dana was amazing with any questions we had. Thank you so much the amazing experience!!

About the host

Hosted by Dana Rudden

We recently purchased the Bass Lake Retreat. I grew up in Marquette and spent a lot of time on lakes around Gwinn. My wife is half Yooper and enjoyed summers in the UP as a kid. We now have our own family and live in lower Michigan, but spend a lot of time in the UP. We have family on Bass Lake and have fallen in love with it visiting over the last few years. When we heard this place was for sale we jumped at the opportunity to have a place of our own on this beautiful lake. We plan on making countless memories here. Hope you, your friends and family can make some memories of your own!
