About this house rental
A hidden gem on beautiful Bass Lake minutes from downtown Traverse City. Nestled in a quiet cove on a dead end road with amazing sunsets for that true peaceful up north getaway experience. It is a 2 level home with 3 bedrooms, 1-3/4 baths, sauna, and 2 car garage.
The main level of this house features the living room and kitchen / dining area. This space has amazing lake views. Full kitchen with dishwasher offers everything you need to prepare meals. The main level also has a bedroom with a queen bed and a sauna room attached. In the sauna room there is a sauna and sitting area which has a single hida-bed with a large patio right outside.
For mobility challenged quests, there is a ramp into the home with a main floor bedroom and bathroom equipped with grab bars. The tile shower has a bench but the bathroom is not wheelchair accessible, it does however offer some safety features (grab bars).
There are Flat screen televisions with cable in every bedroom. High speed internet (300 mbps), and WiFi are provided. There is a washer and dryer that are you’re free to use as well.
Bass lake is an all sports lake but is very quiet which makes it especially great for fishing, kayaking, and pontooning. There are 2 kayaks, a paddle board, a paddle boat, and a canoe on site for you to use. Go fishing, swimming, or just float around (it is a soft bottom lake).
This location is only 10 minutes to the downtown area where there is plenty of shopping and dining. Go to one of the many wineries or even on one of the wine tastings. Craft beer has really blown up in the area and there are many breweries and flavors to choose from. There are air balloon rides, parasailing, and sailing cruises. Interlochen center for the arts is close by along with many other various nature trails and parks. This area has so much to offer.

We absolutely loved our stay at this wonderful cottage. It was very close to Traverse City and it was on the peaceful bass lake. The Cottage itself for spotless and Full of everything you needed for enjoyable day. The Cottage had pontoon boat, kayaks, paddle boat and paddleboard. We couldn't have asked for more! Sean was really easy to reach and answered our calls we had any problems. Will will absolutely be coming to the cottage again! We had a great time!

We loved everything about this property. It had just about everything we could have wanted for a peaceful week on the lake. The kayaks, paddleboard, canoe, and pedal boat were great to have available. We loved the various out-door seats to relax in, and the deck was great for chilling and enjoying some family meals. The property is well-maintained and obviously cared for!

This cottage is so cute, clean, very well stocked and comfortable! Sean makes it super easy with check in and check out and clear instructions and rules for the week. The cottage and property were well maintained. It really was the most relaxing vacation we have ever had. Great for all age groups. We will definitely go back for another stay!

We stayed at "Lake House" with small group aged 9-85. Everyone loved our stay. The house is clean, comfortable, and exceptionally well-stocked. Sean is an excellent host who communicated with us extremely well. He clearly loves the house and works hard to provide a first-rate experience for his guests.
Thanks Sean! I'm pretty sure you'll see us again.

Cottage was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Large yard offered several seating areas including fire pit, swing by water, deck with table and patio outside of sauna. Fishing was great. Location was perfect, quiet yet close to restaurants and TC. Will definitely consider a return rental.

Our stay at Bass Lake was great overall. The place is clean, well stocked with necessities and has an amazing lake view. I will mention that this lake isn’t a swimming lake as the bottom is super soft, but the fishing, kayaking and pontoon trips made up for it! A great week!

We loved our stay and will definitely look into staying here again. The host Sean provides everything needed to enjoy this peaceful piece of paradise. Our 2 year old grandson enjoyed playing on the beach and catching his first fish from the dock while mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa took turns using the kayaks, peddle boat, paddle board, or relaxing in the sun or shade with our 2 month old grandson. This is what you think of when you’re thinking “Up North” Michigan.

My best friend and I took our Mom's to Traverse City for a week of adventure. This house was a piece of paradise; cozy and felt like home. The waterfront view alone was worth it but add in a cozy fireplace, plethora of extra supplies (towels, TP, etc), lovely neighbors and a quiet location to take it to the next level! Everything we wanted to do was a short 15-40 min away. Our favorites were the nearby alpaca farm (Rainbow Valley Family Farm), exploring the peninsula (lighthouse, visiting the Blacksmith and local wineries), restaurants, the lavender farm and Big Bear park.
As a disabled individual, I especially appreciated the first floor bedroom and bathroom that included a walk in shower retrofitted with grab bars and a small seated option in the corner.
We were so pleased with this rental and more importantly, the contributions it made to our once in a lifetime memories that will be cherished forever! Thank you so much! Hoping this gem doesn't book up before we can rent again next year.

Beautiful lake view. All family members loved taking the kayaks and peddle boat around the islands - even in September! Wonderful deck for dinner and watching the sunsets. The house had plenty of bedrooms and comfy living area. The kitchen is well equipped. Easy communication with Sean, the owner. We definitely would rent this property again.

Great house on a beautiful lake
Sean’s lake house was beautiful. You cannot beat the lake access or the view. It was nice to have our own private beach and dock. Being 15 minutes from downtown traverse city was amazing. We often drove downtown to enjoy a nice dinner. Thanks for sharing your house with us, Sean!

Family Trip to Traverse
We had an awesome stay! The property was well equipped with everything we needed both inside and out. The home was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed all the outside toys, kayaks, paddle boat, hammock, and the dock for fishing. We rented a pontoon boat for our stay and enjoyed boating around the quiet lake, fishing, and stops at the sand bar. The sunsets were beautiful! We also enjoyed the fire pits and making s’mores. We will absolutely be back hopefully next summer.

Relaxing & Peaceful
We had the best stay at this waterfront retreat! It was even better in person than it looked online. Everything was very clean & the host was quick to respond. The location is ideal, making it easy for day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Fishtown, Old Mission, Elk Rapids, etc.... We enjoyed the quiet lake and the kayaks provided.
5.0
Everything about our trip to this location was fantastic. The property was very well maintained and meticulously cared for, yet and felt warm and inviting. To reiterate, the care for this property inside and out is glaringly evident. It was very easy to navigate the house and we enjoyed the peaceful setting and quiet lake while being very close to Traverse City. Our family enjoyed all of the lake toys provided and the warm water of Bass Lake. Both fire pits were a hit offering different views of the lake and the sauna was an added bonus. The back deck was also perfect and I really enjoyed having a perfect setting to use the gas grill. Lastly, the glider swing and hammock were perfect for mid afternoon naps. What a great place!

A Gem Outside of Traverse City
Everything outlined in the property description was right on point, and then some. Such a a charming place with EVERYTHING you could possibly need for a great and comfortable time. The real deal is the waterfront and side yard that offered ample space for yard games, great fires, and easy way to access the lake. Kayaking could not have been easier. Neighbors are very nice. Definitely would like to return!

Second Stay at This Cottage
We loved this rental so much last year that we booked it again for this season. Clean, Quiet, Peaceful, Comfortable setting on a beautiful lake that is minutes from town but feels like it's an hour away from the madness of TC. Great sunsets. Amazing fishing. A host who has already thought of everything to make your stay seamless and relaxing. 6 stars!

The location was perfect for our getaway. It was close to all the things we love about the area ~ Moomers ice cream and hiking. If it had been earlier in the season we would have enjoyed the kayaks and canoe.

Everything about this property is as described. It is clean and functional inside, but the outdoor space is where it isamazing! Nice neighbors, including Max the sweet dog, big flat yard and relaxing lake views. We enjoyed the kayaks and lovely seating on the beach and swing. We only travel with our two little pups and are grateful to find a rental that allowed then to come along!
Definitely will be back! Thank you Sean!

Paradise on Bass Lake
What a glorious place to enjoy the fabulous Michigan weather and scenery. We were there for an extended stay and regretted having to leave. This cottage has absolutely everything you would want or need. Sean could not be more helpful or accommodating. We hated to say goodbye to our new friend. Everything about this home on Bass Lake is comfortable and very clean. Sunsets on the deck were magnificent. Would highly recommend this property to anyone. Sean, thank you to you and Nicole.

First, the place was spotless--which is a big deal for us. And it looked exactly like the pictures, so no surprises. The cabin had everything you need -- every cooking utensil you can imagine (we just ordered the exact same waffle iron we tried out at the cabins), plenty of towels, etc. And the grounds had lots of places to sit and enjoy the view -- plus plenty of water toys (canoe, kayak, etc.) if you want to get out on the water. The owner was very responsive to our questions and he provided a list of what the cabin can equipped with and suggestions on what to bring, which was invaluable. All in all, a great place for a getaway.

A Gem on a Pretty Lake
Our family had a perfect week long stay at this lake house. The owner has put a ton of thought into making a comfortable visit. Good prompt communication and excellent instructions for everything posted around the house.
We made good use of the gas fireplace on cold days and the nice firepit on the warm evenings.
All of the beds were comfortable and featured real quilts that look like they were made by someone's grandma [in a good way].
Kitchen is very well appointed. We like to cook and had all the tools we needed right there.
The yard and dock are exactly like the photos. Well kept, nicely landscaped, and just plain comfortable.
Neighbors are close by and friendly. Even with nearby neighbors, this seems like a very quiet lake. No loud parties anywhere on the lake over Memorial Day weekend, which suited us fine.
This is a perfect getaway for a family. I wouldn't recommend it as a party house as the vibe is definitely peace and quiet.
Finally, the fishing was outstanding in late May. Bass and bluegills galore.
We had such a nice visit, and were so charmed by the lake house, that we are hoping to book again for next year.

Great location
We recently stayed at lake house with our 2 young kids and had a great trip! The kids loved the hammock, fire pit and taking the paddle boat out on the lake. Easy drive to downtown and great hiking 30 min away.
