- No walkable lake access even though the lake is near, I was under the impression when booking that this property came with a slip - it does not. All lake access near this cabin is private and unaccessible. - House was uncleaned upon arrival, I had to wash the previous tenants sheets and towels, and have a cleaner come 2 days into my vacation. - Description indicated a game room and showed old photos, but that part of the house since was destroyed. - "Downstairs bedroom" was actually a separate unit so part of the group had to be separated from the main house. That was unexpected and disappointing. - Black mold and cockroaches were found in bottom unit.

We liked this older house/cabin, but a few things detracted from the best stay so I have to note: Positives: Beautiful location. Inside is roomy. Good size deck w BBQ, lights, and nice view. Perfect for marshmallow roasting. Shower/tub combo is good sized. Parking for three vehicles. (Street and upper parking are very narrow. Lower parking is wider.) Large TV. Appliances all work. Beds are comfortable. Pines Resort and lake easy drive, bicycle or walking distance. (Note-it is very hilly.). Cooking necessities available. Owner was quick and pleasant when responding to inquiries. General store and restaurants are fairly close. Negatives: Lighting…Very dark. All lamps have fluorescent low wattage bulbs. We ended up using headlamps and flashlights - especially in the bedrooms-even during the day. The heating… the old house heater was loud and didn’t heat quickly. There are small portable heaters for each room. It took 8 hours to get warm. Once we got it warm, it was ok. There is a fireplace and wood available. Fireplace would have worked nicely but we did not use fireplace due to allergies. Note: When I printed out passcode for entry, it printed out 99999, instead of actual code, so we had to call owner to get correct code. He was available and helpful. General… The bathrooms, kitchen and floors were clean. Lots of dust and cobwebs though. TV is large - has Apple TV, Netflix and Prime. Originally we had planned for six people and it would have accommodated that number well. It ended up just being us two. Note: the downstairs king size bed and bathroom are accessible by outdoors only. Not a problem, but guests should be aware. Overall, we liked the place, but the lighting and heat were issues. We would stay here again, but would bring better light bulbs.

The location was well situated and the property served our needs. It could use some updating/repairs though., in my opinion.

Great experience. Recommend, if you're looking for a getaway to Bass Lake.

Property Could upgrade

We were attending a wedding at the pines resort and the house’s proximity was PERFECT. Owners are on it if something comes up. We would definitely go back.

Our adventure at the Bass Lake Cabin began with a phone message early morning of the day we were set to arrive. The refrigerator had gone on the blink. Ugly way to start considering our stay was for Thanksgiving. We have a son in college, so we have a large dorm sized refrigerator that we put in our truck, and the Carlson's have one (about the same size) downstairs, so we had plenty of refrigeration. Mark credited us some money back for the inconvenience and totally made things right by us. We had a fabulous time at the cabin. We loved being able to see the lake from the window and we especially loved the deck. We look forward to when all the renovations are completed as we would love to go back for another stay.

Very nice house with a classic cabin feel. Great location short walk to the Pines Resort. The patio deck closes on both sides which was great for keeping our dogs safe especially with nightly visits from their local bears (pretty cool). We enjoyed out stay very much!!
