Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bass Lake is a smaller lake with much less boating activity than Silver, Long or Spider Lakes - which makes it ideal for kayaking and fishing. The house is very close to the water but shrubs are beginning to take over the pier. The house is a lovely retreat to bring the family to. I do wish there was a curtain over the bedroom door (which leads to a nice deck) because the morning sun is very bright coming thru the patterned film over the glass in the door. The property management company is amazing - we had no water when we awoke on a Sunday morning - called the emergency number and Jack had a plumber there within the hour. Found the well pump was not working and needed a "well" guy to check it out. On a Sunday? Right. Again, Jack came through and the well pump was replaced, which was a fascinating operation to watch.

Great week at the lake with family.

we found a few things were broken before we arrived so we immediately sent word of the items in question but got no response.

Property was nice. The only thing I would say is the stairs are not great, a few in our family slipped on the stairs. We were in town for a wedding so only had a short stay.

We had such a fun time staying at Smores fun. Our group came up for a soccer tournament, the kids had a blast being able to play outside, had space inside to play, and enjoyed the ping pong/Foosball/pool tables. The house was clean and well set up for our stay. Close drive to town and restaurants. Would recommend and will also look into it next time we're in town. Thank you!

We enjoyed being on the lake for a long weekend. Great location.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House is in a beautiful location, the lake is literally right out the back door and downtown Traverse is only a few minutes drive away. Plenty of space for multiple families though we were just three adult couple celebrating 20 year anniversary’s and our friendships.House is well stocked with all the amenities, was clean, and had plenty of room. One note: not a complaint but the downstairs two bedrooms, hallway and bathroom are not at full height ceilings. Anyone tall is going to walk around down there with hunchback for fear of scrapping their head.

Reviewer Comments: Our first stay in this lovely home that is close to everything you need - downtown Traverse City, restaurants and groceries - IF you decide to leave this great place. Three levels, well laid out, with a large game room on the third level with a 65” tv. You can tell the owners take pride in their vacation home with the upgrades they are doing. Bass Lake is beautiful and quieter than Silver Lake or Spider Lake (both at which we have stayed) - much less boat and jet ski traffic. The fire pit right by the beach area was a perfect way to end the day. We were so glad to find a house that didn’t have a steep decline to the beach area - so much easier when carrying towels, food & kids. The management company was the best we have ever dealt with - very responsive to any question we had - and this was our 8th year to rent a vacation home in Traverse City for 3 wks. We have found the perfect house for our summer vacation in Traverse City.

Great Lakehouse! Relaxing vacation spot Enjoyed the Privacy and the Beach.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I will start by saying our week vacation spent on Bass Lake was amazing! The lake was perfect for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing, which we did each of these daily. There is a nice little sandbar which we could swim to as well. I just wish the house had one additional kayak! Each night we enjoyed a nice fire, listened to the sounds on the lake and looking up at the stars. The house had a perfect layout and space which accommodated our family and dogs perfectly! The covered porch was amazing to sit on especially in the morning or when storms rolled in (thankfully we didn’t have much rain!). The location of the house was fantastic in proximity to Downtown Traverse City, Suttons Bay, and the Costco, Sams, Meijer and Target.A few negatives though included the leaking pea trap in the laundry room and in the kitchen it sounded like the dishwasher was constantly running. These pipes were in our bedroom so we had some background noise while sleeping. We did call but they said they were unable to bring someone out to have it fixed (understandable to find maintenance people but didn’t make it any less annoying!). We also wanted to try playing the WII one afternoon and it was broken! We replaced the controller batteries and tried a few things with no luck! Again this wasn’t a deal breaker just a slight disappointment. The garage was a great space with the ping pong and additional games, thankfully we didn’t have to use this much because of the near perfect weather! I did notice they also had 2 nice bikes with helmets but we didn’t utilize these. The pool table inside is in okay condition but didn’t have sticks that were usable, again thankfully we didn’t need inside entertainment. Overall minus the few issues it was a fantastic stay, beautiful family friendly property and we would go again!

There were few small issues, some were reminded some not. Main issue is that one cable on the deck railing was broken and that is the safety issue. As a surprise there was a gas in the grill, several fishing poles and related equipment and several life jackets. Very nice view, including some geese swimming nearby and a pair of Looms with two babes. Major issue we find with property description regarding two bedrooms in the basement. Listing says 7 ft ceiling, however one bedroom has the ceiling about 6’ 7-8” (my son in law is 6’ 6” tall and his hair is touching the ceiling. The other one has even lower ceiling, about 6’ 2-3” . The ceiling and entry door in the bath in the basement also has low ceiling - about 6’ 2”. However, we liked everything else and we would rent it again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The inside of the property was lovely - clean, spacious & very comfy. However, there's something in the water in the main floor bathroom that leaves a residue on the skin and tub. The outside of the property could benefit from some clean-up and maintenance. Over all though, we had a great time!

This was a stunning property. We loved the location and will definitely be returning. It was clean and spacious

Had a blast for New Years. Only one hint that could have been better is if Michigan would have won the football game, but still 5 stars. Would definitely go back again. Go blue.

Beautiful home and surrounding area. The area got snow during our stay which only enhanced the ambience. Definitely recommend and would not hesitate to book again!

We had stayed here in 2015 so had that visit to compare this one to. While the home was clean and comfortable, there were several minor issues with the home. Such as a loose toilet (master bedroom), loose faucet (master bedroom), malfunctioning microwave, loose floor tiles (master bedroom), difficult to use TV services. We also had to deal with a controversy with the neighbor over “boats”. Someone used his Peddle boat and his row boat ... he was not a happy camper...

We had a great time, we were visiting the area for a mountain bike competition therfore we didn't stay long enough to enjoy the patio/terrace, kayaking and all the great things this property has. We did use the pool table for a little competition, definitely a great feature if coming with teenagers and other adults. We are planning to return during the summer for a more friendly weather to enjoy the outdoors.

This property is excellent if you are ok being a bit out of the way. It has plenty of space and light. One thing to note is that there are a lot of stairs, and the two bedrooms are basically on the ground level/basement, so it gets pretty chilly at night.

All the amenities you might need for a week on the lake Up North. Beds were great. Loved having 3 bathrooms. Very convenient to have laundry available. Wonderfully private lakefront - loved how quiet the lake was with very few motor boats. The lily pads were a beautiful surprise. Firepit received a lot of use. Worked out perfectly for our 3 generations of family for a week. We were all sad when vacation came to an end.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was good, you could tell it needed some TLC. Our family noticed that the blinds were broken in places, some of the siding was on the ground outside, the downstairs closet were my kids were staying the door would randomly fall. Thankfully not on them. The people of Traverse city were not the nicest. You could definitely tell that a dog was there prior to us and sand was still every were around the house. I understand this because of the beach. The toilet in the master bed room was wobbly.

The home was clean. There was a wonderful variety of things to do, both indoors and out. Everything was in working order. We had such a fun and relaxing time. It was so hard to leave such a beautiful place.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely stunning view of Bass Lake. We really enjoyed the paddle boat and kayaking on the lake. Close enough to TC to enjoy, but still private feeling. Only downside to the house are the very low ceilings. I’m only 5’4” and couldn’t extend my arms to stretch without hitting the bedroom ceiling. The master was a little higher ceiling, but if you’re tall you may want another rental. My 6’4” dad was not able to walk on the bedroom level without ducking.

Our family had a great time for our Spring Break getaway. The cottage is perfect--plenty of outdoor space for yard games and a great firepit, and if you run into not-so-great-weather days, you're covered with a pool table and games in the cottage as well as a ping pong and foosball table in the detached garage. We love the area, so we didn't spend a lot of time AT the cottage but the time we were there was thoroughly enjoyed. Great for a family and loved that it's also pet friendly for the fur babes. The lake is beautiful, and we were able to enjoy watching and hearing two loons, swans, and a family of mallards in the few days we were there. Definitely a great place to unwind.

Bachelor party for my brother; looking for something low-key off the beaten path. Everything about this was an excellent experience!

Fun property. Lots to do weather permitting. Nice updates

We had a great time skating at the frozen lake. I am sure during the winter will be lovely as well. Great house with lovely view from the living room.
