About this house rental
New 2021 listing! This cottage is part of a 1940s resort that has been updated. We have several cottages along 500 feet of Bass Lake water frontage. We love our little slice of heaven and you will, too! The cottage has two bedrooms and one bath with both washer and dryer, and two bedrooms both with queen beds. You would have your own private fire ring and access just outside your door to the water. If you don't like dogs, this property is probably not for you. We have doodles and poodles and a couple of little girl pups that frequent the beach area and they love people. They will want to come and say hi at some point, guaranteed! We are located about 10 minutes to Traverse City where you can enjoy all sorts of fun! We are a foody town and we have festivals galore all summer long. We are also a short 30 minutes to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park where you can hike and sightsee to your heart's content. We have two kayaks, 2 paddle boards, a canoe and I could round up more if needed. I am around if needed, but I won't be in your way if not. We have a strict 4 person maximum, but we do have one other cottage that may be open when you want to stay, so if you are hoping to travel with friends or family, let me know and I'll check availability. I am currently working with VRBO to make my rates consistent. If you see one night that is higher than the rest, please email me so I can fix it before you book!

Vacationed with my daughter and 2 exchange students from France. We had so much fun at this cottage. The lake is very clean and swimmable. The Kayaks and SUPs are great to have. We used them every day. The cottage is really cute and worked well for 4 people to eat, sleep, shower comfortably. Neighboring cottages were friendly, and evenings were quiet. I would happily return again to this cottage especially because it is super convenient to reach all there is to do in the area but tucked away from the crowds.

The Cottage is about 20 min from Traverse city. The directions were well explained and we did not have problems on finding it. The manager contacted us early by letting us know that the cottage was ready for use (before the check-in time) and instructions.
The management was very quick to response (we had an outlet problem, we would have never noticed if we wouldn`t try to turn the tv on, on our 3rd day of stay lol, but they fixed the problem fast). The cottage was well equipped (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom).
What I did not like were: the spider webs almost everywhere. Now I understand that with the lake`s humidity they kind of infest every space but is annoying to see them.
The bed covers looked not clean and stained. I brought my own sheets, a habit I have, but we had to use the covers because it got very cold at night.
We enjoyed the front lake view and the chairs in the early mornings. Even though we never used them, the boats were there ready to use too.
It was quiet and very pleasant.
We did not spend a lot of time at the cottage as we were mostly around, basically we only slept there, but was a nice experience overall.

This cottage was beautiful and cozy with spectacular views of bass lake from the couch. There is a sand bar we kayak to and enjoyed the summer sun. The fire pit was a wonderful way to end the summer night. Located 10 min away from Traverse City. Already booked another cabin for Labor day and bringing the kids. Jody was very helpful and quick responses with questions. A 10/10 experience!

Had a great stay at the cherry lake cottage, about 15 min from town but right on the water, Jody was wonderful & fast at responding to any questions we had

Everything was perfect for our time there. It was beautiful looking out onto the lake. The other cottages next to ours were empty so we enjoyed the privacy and quiet. Kitchen was well stocked for the two of us.
10.0 / 10.0
Unfortunately it rained for most of trip, but that meant we spent a lot of time inside the cabin. It was small, but the perfect size for the four of us. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything I needed to cook and there were games to play. The tv was small, but we also watched a movie. The location was nice. We were about 10-15 minutes to many restaurants, downtown traverse city and about 30 minutes from the sand dunes. Wished we could’ve used the fire pit. It was right by the beach and would’ve been great during the sunsets, but we did manage to use the kayaks even though it was drizzling and had fun. The owner Jody was quick to communicate and made sure we had everything we needed.

This was the perfect cabin on the cutest lake for a short weekend trip with the hubs. We walked our kayaks down to the lake a few times over our trip and had a blast exploring. This is the perfect spot for some lazy kayaking. We were only a short drive to Bear Dunes and an equally close to Traverse City. We will definitely be staying here again

Overall my wife, son and I had a great time. Location of the cottage to surrounding areas and attractions made the stay very enjoyable. The cottage was nice and well maintained with lots of privacy and immediate access to bass lake. The only two down sides we experienced were the water quality, which was slightly brown and tasted very metallic, which we overcame by using bottled water for drinking. Also we had a chipmunk that made several appearances leaving poop behind wherever he had been. All in all we enjoyed our stay and didn’t let the few items effect our vacation.
8.0 / 10.0
The cabin is as advertised. One of the beds is very comfortable but the other isn’t great. The cabin was clean but it was a little musty. Also we left some peaches on the island and a little chipmunk helped himself. We got him out and let the owner know. They said they have been trying to fight them. All in all it was a good stay. The cabin is well equipped and the lake is great.

Lovely cabin on Bass Lake
We had a lovely getaway at this cute cabin on Bass Lake. It was very comfortable. The lake is so peaceful and beautiful. We especially loved using the kayaks. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Great place to get away.
This cabin was perfect for our family of 4. The lake it is on is amazing! We caught 6-10 fish a day for not being on the lake long. There was a mountain bike trail just down the road which is one of the reasons we went to this area. There were kayaks on site and the beach area was small but nice. You could dock a boat if you wanted. We liked having the freedom to go into Traverse City or up the Peninsula. And Moomers is so close! This is cute, small, but big enough for a family of 4 cottage. The water was a little weird but that is not a deal breaker. I only wish it was pet friendly. Overall, this is a great place to stay that I would definitely come back to.

We loved our visit to this wonderful cottage! It was on a quiet lake, close to downtown Traverse City. The water was clear & perfect for our family to swim in. We enjoyed taking the kayaks out & sitting around the fire pit at night!

Beautiful lakefront
Enjoyed being close to Traverse City yet outside of the city on a quiet lake. Sitting by the fire at night listening to the loons was the best.

Helpful Host
We had two small issues while we were there and the host couldn't have been nicer about them. She responded immediately with apologies and then had them fixed quickly.

beautiful, tranquil cottage
My three boys and I recently stayed in Sweet Cherry Cottage and had such a wonderful time. The cottage was very clean, and it was charmingly decorated. Jody (the host) was attentive and thoughtful - though we met her as she was on shore and we were on the lake in canoe/kayak (so from a distance) we could sense her warmth. We loved being on the water in a quiet location, and we had so much fun in the various watercraft. The whole experience was really good for our souls - to float on the water and return to this quiet, sweet, just right place...

Great family vacation
We had a great time at this adorable cottage! Jody was very helpful and even let us use her canoe and kayaks! It’s about 20 mins from traverse city and on a very quiet lake. Our boys had a blast fishing and using the splash pad Jody had!

Beautiful lake, great location
Just as advertised. Perfect location near both Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City. Bass Lake is great for swimming and relaxation.
The property owners are super responsive and generous. They will help you with whatever you need. Provided items for our children to enjoy, like fishing poles.
Minor complaint with quality of the beds. Nothing major but could have been more comfortable and there is plenty of room for queens in each bedroom. Dishwasher did not function properly, but that’s an easy fix that I’m sure will be resolved quickly.
We had a wonderful time and would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and/or adventure filled week.
