About this cabin rental

We love re-investing into our cottage to make our guest's experience better!!

FALL Booking NOTES: We have included a new mini-split in the main room of our cottage (heat and A/C). However, we just installed it this June and have not tested it out in cooler temperatures. We do not know how well it keeps the cottage warm in the fall when the temps are lower as of yet. We do provide many blankets for the beds or curling up to watch a movie or read a book in the living room. We also have one portable heater that can be moved around the cottage. (The electrical system will only allow one portable heater.) If you are accustomed to central heat then this may not be the place for you.) This is also why we stop booking in mid-October and reopen in later May.

- The private deck dock has been installed!! We will be posting a photo next week after we receive our 4 adirondack chairs. This will be a perfect place to enjoy a coffee and watch the sunrise OR an adult beverage and look at the stars and watch the moon rise - the moon looks different here! OR if you like to fish - the bay is known to be a good spot that you may be able to catch something right from the dock. PLEASE NOTE - THIS DOES GET TAKEN OUT OF THE WATER SOMETIME IN OCTOBER.

This is our family cottage that we completely renovated in 2008 and we updated the bedrooms, roof and windows in 2023. In 2024, we renovated the living room, dining room and added the dock. Each year we look at what else we can do to improve our vacation get away! We truly enjoy imagining all of the changes we can make to make this a great place to stay at.

If you are looking for a place close to Traverse City that is on a quiet lake - this is your spot! This cottage is a part of a small 1950's fishing resort that has one year round house and 7 small cabins. Ours is the most southern one and is slightly more private on one side than the other ones. If you have friends or family that you want to stay near - ask us about other cottages that may be available for rent at the same time.

Our kitchen is fully stocked and we leave spices, paper products, coffee, etc. for you to use while there.

This cozy cottage has 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. A nice open floor plan with a kitchen, dining area and living room. We do have a portable stand up AIR CONDITIONER that is in the main area between the living room and dining table.

There is a very large deck that has three seating areas for dining and relaxing. There is also a fire pit area with several Adirondack chairs. There are also two loungers for laying out in the sun and enjoying a good book.

2023 BEDROOM UPDATES

All the bedrooms now have new windows as of 2023.

BEDROOM #1 This room we call the "Beach House" room. It has a full bed with a black out curtain. It has two night stands with lamps that have USB ports.

BEDROOM #2 This room has a twin loft bed with a queen bed underneath. It also has two night stands with mounted lamps with USB ports. Black out curtains are in this room as well.

BEDROOM #3 This bedroom has a queen bed, new shiplap, black out curtains and dressers with lamps with USB ports.

We also have 6 single kayaks, 2 stand up paddle boards and several water floats for you to use free of charge. We love floating in the lake or kayaking around the islands (5) and bays on this 343 acre lake. There is a small sand bar just around the corner by the public access area and adjacent island where we love to spend time hanging out in the water. Just a short kayak ride away.

For those with kids, we also have a kid cabin that they will enjoy. (Adults may also enjoy the top deck of that as well for a beautiful view of the lake while drinking your morning coffee or enjoying an evening cocktail.) Please note that there is no internet and only one room stand up air conditioning. We do have satellite TV. We also provide games and a bin of toys for those with young ones. There are also some sand toys in the shed or storage bench on the deck.

IF RENTING IN THE FALL (or early spring) PLEASE NOTE: The cottage does not have central heat or air. Only one portable heater can be run at one time due to electrical restrictions, but can be moved to different locations in the cottage. If the temperature is cooler it can be mildly cold in the cottage. Nothing dressing warmly or using extra blankets can't cure - but just want you to be aware of this if it is important to you. It is a 3 season cottage and why we stop booking as the temperature in Michigan cools.

There are so many fun things to do in the Traverse City area.

Very near the cottage are several choices:
- Boones Long Lake Inn
- Moomers Ice Cream
- Interlochen

Traverse City is just a short drive away (approximately 15 minutes from Front Street) and offers downtown shopping, several restaurants and waterfront.

There are also many cute towns along the peninsula as well as wineries and casinos. You will not be disappointed in this area!

We had a great week in Traverse City! The cottage was very comfortable, and we had everything we needed. The kids loved the paddle boards and kids cabin. We won’t hesitate to stay again.

Bass lake was so quiet that you would think you were in Quetico. The loons agreed. The cottage was so well equipped you could fly in and use it. The checkin and owner communications were superb. Enjoyed the kayaks & paddle boards. Would definitely use again.

My family and I loved this cabin! A very easy and convenient drive to Traverse City. The kayaks and SUP were so fun and my kids loved the sandy beach. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. It has just about everything you’d need in the kitchen! My only thing I’d bring to the attention of future renters is there isn’t laundry so pack accordingly and be prepared for sandy kids ☺️ Would definitely recommend this to others and stay again!

Been coming to Traverse City since I was a kid. Never been to Bass lake. Thank you so much for your warm communication and all the conveniences. We paddle boarded and kayaked for the first time and the lake was just so peaceful! We loved the area and the neighbors we met!

The property is very much as advertised... pretty basic small 3 bed rooms with one bath house. Lots of toys for kids and adults, the owners really seemed to make an effort to be communicative and helpful and make the place enjoyable with some nice touches (kids noticed the "fairy houses" in yard for example). It was also nice to be able to access the lake on days we were not out and about.
