Overall it was a great stay. We mostly cooked at the property and enjoyed copious lawn games by the lake. However, the listing is somewhat deceptive in that they say it is 4 bedrooms, but the fourth room is really just a loft with no wall for audio separation from the living room / kitchen.

Great location

Great location. Nice place. A few issues: closet slat doors on bedrooms offered no privacy and no noise buffer: inside the fridge door were no shelves for condiments etc, used coffee grounds in the coffee maker, water has very strange smell, washcloths left in dryer, outdoor trash can was never picked up and over full. View was fantastic, lake was great! Full range of dishes, spices, nice grill, great fire pit. Very quiet, beautiful setting!

A peaceful view of nature

Incredible week of the beauty living on a small lake. Spectacular views of nature, the smell of fresh water and the serenity of peaceful songs of frogs, birds and jumping fish. Different places on the property are all stunning! From the Lilly pads of a hidden swamp to a short beautiful walk to a secret dock. Don’t forget your Mosquito spray! It’s so worth the little pests! We grew up in Traverse City, never thought much of Bass Lake, but went to #1 in my book! Thank you so much!

Relaxing stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay was very relaxing. The house is nestled in a quiet little spot. Fishing was okay, some days were better than others. The shallow area by the dock was a hit with our dogs and kids. The water was crystal clear! Overall, we had a nice time at Bass Lake.

Great stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great central location. Plenty of room. Great place to fish and kayak. Few things to note, this property is at the end of the gravel road; last drive on your left. The house address is on a stained wood sign attached to a tree, which can be hard to see if arriving after dark. The house has well water; bring drinking water. I recommend ensuring all food is properly stored and counters wiped down because in the morning there was mouse feces on stove and counters. Backyard was water saturated so if you are bringing a dog you may want to look out for this before walking out back.

Reclusive get-away

Great location right on Bass Lake. There is one neighbor but 70 feet of woods between so we never actually saw them or heard them. The cabin has 4 bedrooms and plenty of space with a nice view of the lake. Only one bathroom though so plan accordingly. It was so peaceful there that there were times we didn’t hear anything at all. The rest of the time we just heard nature and the occasional pontoon.The lake itself is reportedly 29 feet at its deepest but we covered most of it and will report it was 4 feet at its deepest and only one to two feet in most of it. You could always see the bottom. There are several kayaks, a canoe, and a rowboat to use and they supply the fishing equipment. We did not see much for fish but did catch and release some Bass.We actually spent more time sleeping than we planned on because it was so relaxing.The yard was mostly saturated with water when we were there. I’m not sure what was up with that but we used the dry portion. The drinking water was horrible, but they provided a water filter which helped a great deal and we drank store bought water the rest of the time. We had a very nice time and would recommend this cabin.

Location- and thats it

While the location was great, not much more about the place was. The place has major structural issues- of which tie into safety of staying there. The one patio door in the living room that you can access, doesn't operate. It took all 200 lbs of me to be able to open and close the door. This was not only a MAJOR inconvenience, but this also limits a potential emergency exit to one which is down as a skinny hallway. Most windows were missing screens. The one that I did try to open that had a screen was non-functioning casement in the main floor bedroom. The patio door in the bedroom also took quite a bit of muscle to open. The deck had its challenges as well, there's a mangled-up section right at the steps creating a trip hazard. Floors are so settled around the perimeter of the house- I wouldn't be surprised if they drop 2" from center of house to eave sides of house. I'm really surprised that this place is offered up for rental in the condition its in. We also had to take care of the dead mouse in the trap in the kitchen. There was no way we were going to attempt to use the fireplace. Loads of cracked tile throughout the place. I'm not one that has ever left a bad review, but other than the location, this place was a major disappointment and in my opinion, a safety hazard away from a major lawsuit happening.
