Loons Landing - Relax on the lake, your perfect Traverse City retreat.

LOONS LANDING is a property located on beautiful Bass Lake in Traverse City, Michigan. It is fully furnished home filled with lots of room, including 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen and dining area, 2 separate living areas and a kids recreation area.

The home is split between three levels; the main level is home to the master bedroom, a full bathroom, kitchen and dining area, living room and the entrance to the very private deck that overlooks the lake. From the main level you can travel either upstairs or downstairs. Traveling upstairs you will find two spacious bedrooms with queen size beds. Traveling downstairs you will find another large room for relaxing or playing games. There is also another full-size bathroom in the lower level. The lower level also overlooks the lake and has a walk out patio door to the back yard and Bass Lake.

The home has a mixture of cottage feel with gorgeous pine accents coupled with trendy updates. The yard is grass covered, and the property has lots of beautiful landscaping. There is a bonfire pit near the lake. There is ample outdoor seating, and there is a canoe, and six kayaks (4 adult and 2 kid size) are provided for your use. Safety vests are also included for the canoe and kayaks.

While here, you will enjoy a quiet neighborhood and amazing sunrises over the lake. There are many animals in the area and on the lake to see. Some include turtles, eagles, loons and of course lots of fish!

The home is located 8 miles to the center of Traverse City. It is a perfect location to stay at and take day trips to famous places in Northern Michigan. The National Sand Dunes, Interlochen Center for the Arts, Mackinac Island, Frankfort, Northport, Suttons Bay, Leland and more!

The home sits on a small lot in a wonderful neighborhood. Due to the proximity of the neighbors, this home is NOT recommended for loud or large groups. It is perfect for small groups who wish to enjoy the scenery of the lake and the amenities of the home.

Loons Landing was the relaxing weekend getaway that my friends and I needed! The cabin was exactly as pictured, and very clean upon entry. The location was perfect, nestled between Interlochen and Traverse City for shopping and dining experiences, but well off the beaten path that you felt the peace and calm of the quiet lake life while relaxing in and around the lake. I had to contact the host at 9:30pm one night (trouble finding matches / lighter to start an outdoor bonfire), and she responded very quickly. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would readily book again!

Jennifer was a great host! We really loved the location right on Bass Lake that allowed us to kayak and fish all week long! The house itself was very clean and comfortable, and we loved the great views of the lake. To top it off, we were there on July 4th and enjoyed a front row seat to the Bass Lake fireworks! Overall, had an excellent time and would definitely recommend!

So relaxing!

We needed some rest after a graduation and a busy few months. Upon arrival, our host had arranged a welcome basket with all the fixings for s'mores. That was so nice! We had a great time. Fished off the dock and caught some Perch. It’s a nice, peaceful location. The house has a well stocked kitchen with everything you need to stay put. Thank you so much for the pleasant stay!

Making Memories with Family

Overall, our stay at Bass Lake VRBO was peaceful and rejuvenating, offering the perfect blend of outdoor adventure and cozy relaxation, all in the heart of one of Michigan's most picturesque Traverse City areas. Whether we were kayaking, enjoying the fire put for making s'mores, or simply savoring the quiet, the experience left us feeling refreshed as we banked more family memories together!

Quick trip up north

We rented this property for a short 3-night stay near Traverse City. Loved all the amenities, including the canoe, kayaks, firepit, and games (just wish we had more time to enjoy them). The house had everything we needed, and was just a short drive to TC. My only complaint would be that the hot water in the basement shower runs out pretty quickly, which can be a challenge with 6 people sharing two showers. But overall the house was great, and Jennifer was an excellent host.

4 great friends and a great house

We booked this house after staying in another on Bass Lake this past summer where we had a great time. So we talked with our friends about doing another house for the color tour in the fall which turned out to be an excellent time/choice. The house was a great choice at the right time. Our friends and us were well pleased with the colors and closeness of the town and a great place to eat. (Boone's)

this cottage was amazing! it was clean, in great condition, and was exactly as listed if not better. the pictures did not do this adorable, cozy cottage justice. check in was seamless and the property was perfect. i would definitely come back here! Jennifer was a fantastic host. my only minor issue is that I wish check out time was more normal like 10:00 or 11:00 AM, not 9:00am.
