About this cabin rental

Saturday - Saturday rental during peak season (6/1/2024 - 8/22/2024)
This cabin was completely remodeled in 2008 to create a four-star hotel quality feel, tucked in the north woods on Bass Lake near Traverse City. The beds and linens are extra comfortable and cozy. The cabin is part of a quaint resort on 5+ acres with 700+ ft of lakefront. There is a dock, rowboat, fire pit with seating and 2 lounge chairs for enjoying the view. Bass Lake is an all sports lake with some great sand bars for swimming and wading with the little ones. Come and relax in the "Michigan" cabin! There are other cabins available for rent on the property if you have a larger group.

Our favorite activities are fishing from the dock or row boats (available for rent), swimming, water skiing, tubing, and going to Boones Long Lake Inn 'Big Deck' for live music, cocktails and great food which is less than 2 miles away. Famous Moomer's Ice Cream is just down the road near long lake for dessert. Our home golf course is 'The Crown', located about 2 miles from the cabin. Of course, in the Traverse area, there are no shortage of things to do or places to see.

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.

We had the most amazing week for our first time in Michigan!! My husband and I traveled with our two boys 7 & 10, as well as our golden retriever. We couldn’t have asked for a better cabin on the lake. We were perfectly situated between all the activities we wanted to see and do, Sleeping Bear, Traverse City, Empire, Glen Arbor. We spent almost every evening fishing off the private dock & the boys loved catching all the fish! Our golden loved being able to jump in the water right off the beach area as well. The cabin was fantastically stocked with everything we needed & the air fryer was so nice to have. The Olsens really have thought of everyone & we would 100% stay here again. Thank you for letting us create some core memories with our boys ♥️

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.

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!

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.

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.

We had such a nice week in this simple but comfortable cottage. It is clean and has everything you need to enjoy relaxing near the lake. The owners live a few doors down and are welcoming and responsive while also leaving plenty of space for you to do your own thing. We loved birdwatching on the dock in the mornings while drinking coffee, taking kayaks out on the lake which is very quiet for its size, reading books (and napping!) in the hammock, eating dinner on the tented patio, and sitting around the fire ring in the evenings. It was made all the better that we were able to have our dog with us too. All this, and just a 15 minute drive to downtown Traverse City, easy access to Sleeping Bear Dunes and the Lelanau Peninsula, and a variety of microbreweries in the area. Really a lovely spot and we're looking forward to our return!

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.

Kathy and Mike were great hosts. The property is rustic, but lovely. Lots of loons. The deck has serene views of the beach and the beach is equipped for lots of outdoor seating, fire pit and a hammock. Kitchen is well equipped, bathroom on the small side but manageable. We’re building a home on the next lake west of Bass, so this cabin will be a great spot to hang out at as construction progresses.

Communication with the hosts was outstanding from prior to check in to check out and even suggestions for dinner. The property was quaint, private and super clean. We enjoyed our family time here and hope to return soon.

Spent my Sunday afternoon napping in the hammock ,lulled to sleep by the birds singing. Close to Traverse city yet far enough away to just relax and enjoy the beautiful views of the lake. Top water fishing was good with bass ,blue gills and even a turtle.

Such a beautiful location! We came looking for fall colors and we found them! So close to everything yet so private and secluded.

We loved this little Bass Lake cabin! We rented a stand up paddleboard for the week and enjoyed paddling around the lake. The house had just enough space for our family of four with kids ages 11 and 14, especially with the hammock and fire pit seating outside near the lake. During the week that we stayed here, we went into Traverse City several times, drove to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore for hiking, a beach walk, and tubing on the Platte River, and took a longer day trip to Mackinac Island (about 2.5 hours away, but so worth it!).

The Michigan cabin was everything we hoped it would be - secluded, peaceful, and just enough rustic, but with the amenities we needed. It was meticulously clean with a well-appointed kitchen and comfortable furniture. We were greeted with local treats. The owners were great and very responsive. A couple of things to pass on: there is no oven, but there is a nice gas grill, so plan your meals accordingly. The master bedroom doesn't quite close all the way. This was no problem for us, but you might want to know it. We were so sad to leave and would stay there again in a heartbeat if we find ourselves in the area.

This place was just about perfect for a quiet autumn week. While other nearby lakes looked like suburban subdivisions with modern homes and mowed lawns, this really did feel like a place in the north woods. The cabin and the ones around it have an old-timey feel, but inside, it's updated, modern, and very comfortable. We enjoyed having the stretch of lakeshore, and seemingly the whole lake, to ourselves during the week (this was early October). The feeling was lost over the weekend though, as a large group rented several cabins on either side of ours and stayed up til 2 each morning - but that's not something our cabin's owners could control.

After many years of vacationing "Up North", we finally found a location that is excellent in terms of access to all of the wonders that the Traverse City area offers. Kathy and Mike's camp provides a laid back and relaxing atmosphere to an already excellent vacation venue. They were always available if needed and quick to assist if necessary. Bass Lake is fantastic for kayaking, SUP boarding and all other water sports. Also quite the treat to relax on their big hammock and take in the views. We would not hesitate to return here in the future!

Our stay at Kathy's cottage on Bass Lake couldn't have been better. It was exactly as described with a beautiful cabin and view of the lake. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay during our time there, and Kathy was very helpful in answering any questions that we had in a timely fashion. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay for a very reasonable price in this region. You are only 10 minutes away from beautiful downtown Traverse City. With a short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes and multiple Vineyards for a day of wine tasting. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer during our vacation.

We just got back from spending a week at this awesome cottage. The property was nice. a fire ring, a hammock, screenhouse, fishing dock you name it! They had all kinds of items stocked for your convenience. We cooked some great meals there and used the gas grill a few times too. The bed and couch were sooo comfortable, and there were plenty of fans (it was a very warm week) My husband caught a couple of turtles and lots and lots of fish. He was very entertained. Our little dogs were happy to be with us and we are so grateful that they were allowed to come with us on our vacation. Here you are completely in the woodsy outdoors, quiet waterfront, and in just a few minutes you are in town with every store and entertainment imaginable!. I truly hope to stay here again next year. We liked it so much we are planning another Michigan trip over labor day week. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage!
