What a perfect little piece of heaven in Traverse City! Right on the water, clean, close to town and Trudy was so helpful and welcoming! We hope to make this a vacation spot for years to come!

We loved everything about our stay on bass lake ! The house was perfect , the beach was perfect , the water toys were soooo fun !! We had a bonfire and made s’mores , and took several sunset cruises !! I would highly recommend

Beautiful house in a wonderful location with everything that you can think of at your fingertips. The house and lake were so inviting we rarely wanted to leave. When we did venture out, shopping and downtown traverse was close and convenient to access. You could fish right off the dock and an assortment of kayaks and paddle boards gave us lots of options in addition to the pontoon rental. It was so nice that we could bring our dog and she could enjoy the lake too! Her and the kids swam right off the shore. Some spots require water shoes for my taste, but the kids didn’t seem to mind and a short boat ride gets you to a nicer sandbar. We had a great time!

Beautiful place. Perfect for little kids. Our second year there and plan on retiring for many years!

We loved everything about this property. Fit our family perfectly. Stocked wood, beach front, privacy, cleanliness, stocked so well, all furniture perfect, even beds comfortable. All the boats were so much fun. Kayaks and standing board our favorites. Trudy was a gem, and all our needs met

Great place! stayed in quite a few vacation houses and enjoyed all but this is probably the overall best place we've stayed. Clean, comfortable and almost everything you could want or need. the pontoon boat deal is icing on the vacation cake.

Property was great as was the organized owner. The VRBO fees were pretty steep.

Our annual up north family vacation was perfect. Trudy was very organized and responsive to all of our questions. The rental was spotless and had enough “water toys” that we all could participate! Perfect for small children. My grandsons had a blast. Best rental we have in the 10 years we’ve had this tradition!

It’s the perfect spot! Right on the water with great beach for our little grandchildren. Many things included to enjoy being in the water with? The lake is beautiful and we enjoyed renting the pontoon to site see and fish. The house is beautiful and met all our needs. Plenty of parking for our three cars and a trailer. This was our first year to start making family memories with our kids and grandkids. We couldn’t have imaged being anywhere else. We can’t say enough good about it!!! We booked 2020 back in January because we felt good about the place just with the pictures. We were right on! Trudy and her house are the best!!

This vacation home has everything needed for fun and relaxation. There are so many outdoor activity options which appealed to all ages. The beach was very nice for the kids. The many watercraft and the pontoon availability were major factors in selecting this home and they were exactly what we expected. There are nearby stores and restaurants. It's close enough to Traverse City attractions while still being secluded and peaceful. Trudy was very friendly and organized. Overall, a great place to stay!

We’ve been staying here for several years. It’s a true vacation home. You don’t have to bring anything! Grocery store close by. Lots of places to eat. Nice sandy beach for the kids. Fire pit for s’mores. Our daughter is in a wheelchair and she is able to go out on the deck - ramps provided. We always leave saying we can’t wait til next year! Thanks, Trudy. We’vE made lots of fun memories thanks to you!

The property was perfect for our family of 2 adult parents, 4 young adults and 2 small dogs. Separate building for hanging out, playing games or doing puzzles. Quiet lake for kayaking and paddle boarding. Great amenities with fire wood, absopure water cooler, corn hole game, dog cages and dog pen. Kayaks and paddle boards also available as part of rental. Air conditioning a big plus on those hot summer nights.. Really had all of the amenities of home. Actually had more ammentities than home, as it was on a small lake :-)

This was our first ever house rental, so we were not quite sure what to expect. However, we had a fantastic stay at the lake house. We were a party of 6 adults and a small dog (Trudy even provides dog crates). The house was clean and well catered for. The sunrises and sunsets from the dock were beautiful, and the use of the pontoon was an added bonus to get us all out on the lake. Trudy was very organized and very easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend this property.

Lovely, modern house with all kitchen and fun equipment, beautiful setting on a lightly inhabited, clear lake, and a beach with various water craft right at the doorstep.

All of the excellent reviews of this home proved to be true. Please read them, as we will report on what specifically made this home perfect for us. First, the house is located well away from main roads, and the approach lane is seldom traveled, allowing for a quiet, unperturbed stay. The lake is just a few feet away from the deck, and recreating with the home’s three kayaks, pontoon rowers, and two paddle boards provided exceptional and ample water activities. Not only is the home lovely, it is well-appointed by its thoughtful owner with just about everything we could have needed or expected. The owner made herself available for any needs, although we encountered few. The setting in beautiful. We enjoyed watching many sunsets across the water, fishing, exploring the lake by day, dining on the deck in the evening, and making s’mores by the campfire at night. But perhaps most enjoyable was how our Golden Retriever experienced the vacation of a lifetime, leaping off the dock for tennis balls, relentlessly investigating the origins of waves, and lounging in the shade when she had finally become too exhausted to swim any more. This property was absolutely ideal, and we recommend it absolutely!

Perfect location for 6 adults. Lake right outside front door. Great week. Lots to do at cottage and lots to do in the greater Traverse City area

We had an amazing stay at this house. Trudy was great to work with. The view is so much better in person than in the pictures. The house was great. I highly recommend.

We all agreed this was the best 'lakefront' we ever stayed at. The beach and water were all around the deck where we pretty much spent our time. The place was really clean inside and out. Nice new weber grill. Had everything there we needed. We used the stand up paddle boards and kayaks to check out the islands in the lake. We hope to return next year later on in the summer after the water warms up more.

We just returned from our Bass Lake vacation at Trudy's house and it absolute perfection! The house was perfect for two small families with small children and our dog. The beach at her house had so much to do for all ages - a fire pit, swing, sandy beach for kids to play, 2 docks for fishing, and the unusual find of free kayaks and small pontoons to be used throughout the week. The property has ample space with a garage and guest house for people to spread out. It was clean, and Trudy was easy to work with. This home is a special place.

We stayed here last summer & are returning this coming July. The place was a lot nicer than the photos showed! Everything was so clean. My sis joined us & she is in a wheelchair. Because there's no steps to the beach, we were able to wheel her right in to the water & she loved it! (she cried she was so happy!) Our lab, Donovan, exhausted himself jumping off the dock for hours. The main reasons we rebooked for this summer are the 'extras' we enjoyed - free firewood, a spring water cooler, separate game room big enough for all of us to be in together & last, but certainly not least..the friendly owners who were available to us 24/7. They even provided a crate for Donovan to stay in when we were off enjoying the sand dunes. As a dog family, this will be our vacation choice spot from now on. :)
