About this property
Leaning Pine: A Quiet Lakefront Cottage
(Permit: PSTR 24-043)
Charming Leaning Pine cottage on Bass Lake with sunset views, just minutes from Interlochen Center for the Arts. Two bedrooms. Sleeps two in the master and four in the guest or use our "bonus room" space. This home has been lovingly preserved and decorated to retain the 1950s lake cottage feel. Bass Lake is ideal for swimming, kayaking, fishing, or just quiet reflection. Public boat launch is straight across from us. Nicely wooded lot for that true "up north" feeling. Traverse City, Old Mission/Leelanau wineries, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Frankfort are each about a half-hour drive.
We've added a lovely bench swing that faces the lake, between two tall pines; sit there in the morning with coffee for a slow "wake-up" or in the evening with wine to enjoy the sunset.
"We really enjoyed our week at this rental. The lake is quiet and great for fishing and kayaking. With the row boat, kayaks, fishing poles and grill included you can start enjoying the lake and outdoors immediately. The lake is shallow and safe for kids and dogs to swim. The description and photos are exactly what you get, no dishonesty or deception. Everything was great." -Mark, Clarkston, MI

About the host
Hosted by Lonnie Ostrander

City boy met farm girl and ended up with a lake house for fun. We love sharing our peaceful haven with others.
Why they chose this property
While on vacation ourselves ten years ago we spied this gem for sale. It's simple, it's comfortable, it's quiet. We love it for our own family vacations in the summer and are happy to share it with you. "This is our second year renting this property and we are just as happy as we were last year! The cottage is just the right size and has everything we needed. The fishing was good and we caught bass, perch, and sun fish. Close enough to all the spots we enjoy visiting but remote enough to feel private and peaceful." -Mark, a happy guest
What makes this property unique
If you enjoy sitting in an adirondack with coffee and a book, fishing off a dock, or kayaking across the lake to gaze upon flowering water lilies you will love Leaning Pine. Of course, the swim raft and cornhole game provide opportunities for more activities. "Our family really enjoyed our stay at Bass Lake. The cottage was well stocked and we loved the vintage vibe. The dock, swimming dock, kayaks, rowboat, fire pit, cornhole game and nice sized yard provided lots of opportunity for fishing and fun. Would have loved having more time to stay and hope to return!" -Jennifer
