Wonderful Get-away!

Everything is wonderful about this place. It's a large and beautiful and super-well appointed house in a great location. The host is friendly, very helpful and responds quickly. Plenty of things to do both at home and in the area. My partner and I really enjoyed our stay and plan to return. Highly recommended!

Last minute

Our family rented this property at the end of summer as a last minute getaway. The house was exactly as advertised. Enough activities inside and out to keep everyone busy the entire stay. The owner is a quick phone call or text away.

Idyllic Family Getaway

Exceptionally well equipped Lakehouse, with a quick easy traipse through the shallows to a beautiful white sand lake Michigan beach. All of the waves and none of the salt of the sea. It was possible to take a kayak in the other direction to Bass Lake (lots of fishing successes!) It was a short drive or longer walk down the beach to Pentwater where there was a selection of three ice cream parlors. (Love HOF!) There is everything at the house that you could possibly need for the beach from beach, chairs, umbrellas, floating islands, towels. Enough space to hide away from the people you were with. The elders enjoyed having balconies off of every room to hang out. The widow’s watch afforded a view of the beach, if you didn’t feel like walking down to see the sunset. The workout equipment helped justify the dietary indiscretions of vacation. Super easy set up for a campfire and s’mores. The kitchen has every appliance you can imagine from popcorn, poppers, crockpots, margarita- maker, toaster oven, perfect size for pizzas and two fridges so you don’t have to lug beverages upstairs. The gas grill got a work-out with our group, as did the washer-dryer. There were plenty of eat-out options but we cooked in for the most-part. We had a front row seat for a thunderstorm and Wi-Fi that allowed us to watch the women’s World Cup soccer and kept the preteen/teenagers happy. Mike was super-helpful with links to all the local attractions. Super!

Perfect lake getaway!

This lovely lake house provided our family with a perfect lake vacation. The location (at the junction of Lake Michigan and Bass Lake) provided lots of water and beach access, and there were amenities galore--every type of chair, umbrella, float, toy, etc. you could want for playing in the water. Although we did not use them (because we had a baby with us), there were bikes, kayaks, canoes, exercise equipment, and a foosball table as well. The house was big enough that our party of 8 could spread out, but also had lovely spaces where we could come together and play cards and games, grill burgers and corn, make s'mores, watch sunsets, and relax. Rick was an excellent host and had anticipated all our needs. He gave us a great overview upon arrival and was readily available by phone or text both before and during our stay. The home was well stocked with basic pantry items as well as lots of kitchen amenities, bath and beach towels, a highchair and portacrib, etc. We had a lot of fun relaxing and playing in the waves of Lake Michigan and along the warm, shallow water that connects Lake Michigan to Bass Lake. Many wonderful memories were made in this beautiful home!

Perfect Michigan Getaway

My family and I had an absolute blast staying here. Family friendly! Even had a high chair and pack and play. Beautiful location tucked in the forest with a view from the top story of Lake Michigan. Access to the waterfront from a river. The owner was communicative and extremely helpful. We had such a fantastic time staying here and recommend it as the perfect Michigan getaway. Also, Pentwater and Luddington are so cute with lovely shopping and some good restaurants. Cannot recommend enough!

About the host

Hosted by Rick Wuebbeling

Why they chose this property

If you like water activities without large numbers of people, at this location you get the opportunity to enjoy magnificent Lake Michigan, Bass Lake and the outlet/creek from Bass Lake to Lake Michigan. Bass Lake Outlet which is walking distance from the house is a perfect place to relax and swim when Lake Michigan water temperatures are too cold.

What makes this property unique

We have tried to include many things so our guests do not have to pack as much. This is a wonderful home to enjoy friends and family in. The Lake Michigan sunsets are stunning and being able to enjoy BOTH Lake Michigan and Bass Lake from our home is a treat! Roasting marshmallows by the firepit enjoying the sounds of nature or listening to music with family and friends make the best memories.
