This was a very nice home right on Bass Lake. we started our day on the back porch sipping coffee and watching a muskrat in the lake. Bortell’s was a very short drive. Downtown Pentwater was very close. We drove and walked to a beach access point on Lake Michigan. Managing temperature in the house was very difficult, there is central heat and maybe a stand alone A/C unit. we were able to open windows to keep things cool part of the day, but in the heat of summer it might be tough to stay cool. We had all of the kitchen supplies we needed. Being able to store our bikes and kayaks in the garage was a great help. Plan to bring bottled water because there is a heavy mineral taste in the tap water. those same minerals left rust stains in the toilets.
