Great stay. Cute little cabin. Perfect for a couple or a family with a few kiddos. Great location to all the things we love in the northwest Michigan area.
My partner and I stayed here with our fishing boat for a week and had a wonderful time. We didn’t get much fishing in due to weather but the cabin was nice and comfortable.
Very nice place. Great dock and personal beach. Lake does not have many houses so it feels private. Enjoyed the loons every evening! Bedrooms are small.
Very cute place, perfect for my two kids, me and my husband. Clean and comfortable. Pictures are not updated on the VRBO listing but the place was better than the pictures! The bunk room can get a little warm so I would recommend a fan be provided or installed in that room. Also maybe a light over the table as it is quite dark in the evening to play games. Overall my family loved it and are planning to go back next year.
Enjoyed our two days at Bass Lake. Small accommodations and what we needed for a home base between excursions to Sleeping Bear, Glen Arbor, and surrounds. Enjoyed the kayaks. Night sky amazing.
We went with our 2 teenage daughters to this private lake property, it is small, but it was fine for the 4 of us. we went in April, so it was cool, and the dock wasn't in, but it was peaceful. Not far from grocery store and close enough to the dunes. It was a pleasant getaway with the family.
We have been to Interlochen and the surrounding area previously and love the region, but this was our first time on Bass Lake. The lake is great! Sandy and shallow for our 1 year-old to splash her feet in, and provided a beautiful setting for views of the sunset.
The cabin is small, but had everything we needed, and was very clean. The only snag was the unlock code for the door did not work initially - but we called the owner, and Andy helped us out immediately.
Love how cozy and clean cabin is, very nice and new. I would recommend owner to put kitchen floor mats, in winter feet got frozen while I do my coffee or wash dishes. Also master bedroom needs a night stand. Otherwise perfect, love the lake view ,sunsets, and bonfire. Thank you will come back in summer!

Very few amenities for the price.
This is a very expensive area overall, so the price wasn’t out of line but we were hoping to have a few more basic amenities available to us at the house (ex. Coffee, shampoo, etc.) would not recommend this location if you are traveling from out of state unless willing to bring everything you might need. Cute house, comfortable for a couple or very small group.

Hello Addie,
It is true that we do not include travel size shampoo and packets of coffee like some hotels. We have chosen to concentrate on other amenities like a stainless steel full size refrigerator and stove, coffee maker, microwave oven, wireless internet, flat screen tv, fire pit, barbecue and a beautiful lake with amazing sunsets! We also provide all glassware, dishware, utensils, silverware, linens and bath towels.
The first thing we noticed was the dog hair on all the furniture and floor, and unfortunately it made my boyfriend sneeze the whole weekend. Cleanliness was not at its peak that’s for sure. But as far as location and amenities go it was good. Bed is small and not too comfy. Priced right. Lake is beautiful.

I'm really sorry you experienced this. The prior guest did not follow our no pet policy. My cleaner should of realized and cleaned appropriately. I wish you would of let me know so I could have her come back and fix it for you. I'm glad you thought the location, amenities and price was right.
This trip came At a very distressing time in my life. I needed to get away and I wanted to somewhere peaceful to disconnect from everything. The place was simple and clean overall. I found a plate with half eaten chicken wings on it inside the microwave as well as molded coffee inside the coffee marker. Other than that everything else was perfect. The chicken was not enough to deter me from returning next year with my kiddos.

Hi Rebecca, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and you were able to use our cabin to find the peace you were needing. So sorry about food being left in the microwave that is completely unacceptable. We had a long talk with our cleaners about that. We checked into the coffee maker and it was just hard water deposits. We descaled it right after your stay. The coffee maker is only a few months old. Thanks again for staying with us!
My husband and I love staying in the cabin. This will be our third time. The first time was in the summer, so we made use of the kayaks and my husband did some fishing from the dock. The last two times we came in the fall to enjoy the colors and to do some hiking. The cabin is cozy, clean and feels like home. Andrew set us up with firewood from the neighbor. Jerry was great and even helped us get the fire started. Even though it was unseasonably warm for October, the wind put a damper on us using the kayaks this time. The lake was pretty choppy. We highly recommend the kayaks when the weather cooperates. I had a couple questions for Andrew during our stay, and he responded right away. He’s an excellent host. Thanks again for sharing your cabin with us.

Why they chose this property
There are so many reason I fell in love with this property. First of all Bass Lake is a hidden Gem. This spring-fed, clean, clear sandy bottom lake is what drew me in. The lake is peaceful and looks across at state land. The house sits just far enough from Traverse City that it enjoys a lack of light pollution so the star gazing is spectacular.
