Peaceful Lake House w amazing sunsets, Kayaks, Fireplace & Sauna. Dogs welcome.

A hidden gem on beautiful Bass Lake minutes from downtown Traverse City. Nestled in a quiet cove on a dead end road with amazing sunsets for that true peaceful up north getaway experience. It is a 2 level home with 3 bedrooms, 1-3/4 baths, sauna, and 2 car garage.
The main level of this house features the living room and kitchen / dining area. This space has amazing lake views. Full kitchen with dishwasher offers everything you need to prepare meals. The main level also has a bedroom with a queen bed and a sauna room attached. In the sauna room there is a sauna and sitting area which has a single hida-bed with a large patio right outside.
For mobility challenged quests, there are ramps we can put out prior to your stay that will access the home and the large lakeside deck. With the main floor bedroom and a bathroom that is equipped with tile shower with bench. However the bathroom is not fully wheelchair accessible, it does however offer some safety features like grab bars.
There are Flat screen televisions with cable television in every bedroom. High speed internet (1 GBPS), WiFi, and washer / dryer all provided.
Bass lake is an all sports lake but is very quiet which makes it especially great for fishing, kayaking, and pontooning (pontoon available). There are 3 kayaks, a paddle board, paddle boat, and a canoe all on site for you to use. Go fishing, swimming, or just float around (it is a soft bottom lake).
This location is only 10 minutes to the downtown area where there is plenty of shopping and dining. Go to one of the many wineries or even on one of the wine tastings. Craft beer has really blown up in the area and there are many breweries and flavors to choose from. There are air balloon rides, parasailing, and sailing cruises. Interlochen center for the arts is close by along with many other various nature trails and parks. This area has so much to offer.

Kids loved it!

The inside isn’t anything flashy, but is clean and as pictured. We loved the beach and the kids had a blast with the paddle board and other water toys. About 8-10 feet off the beach is becomes soft bottomed so you really had to float on something, but other than that it was perfect. Good location to get to other things to do also. The hosts were incredibly nice and helpful as well, made us feel very welcome. We had a great time!

Great getaway

Our second stay at bass lake was even better than the first one which was great. There is now a pontoon available to rent which makes it very convenient. The house has everything you could possibly need. Sunsets on the lake are beautiful. And the massage chair is a real nice touch. Thanks Sean, will see you again.

Beautiful lake house

We loved everything about this property. It had just about everything we could have wanted for a peaceful week on the lake. The kayaks, paddleboard, canoe, and pedal boat were great to have available. We loved the various out-door seats to relax in, and the deck was great for chilling and enjoying some family meals. The property is well-maintained and obviously cared for!

A perfect experience

We stayed at "Lake House" with small group aged 9-85. Everyone loved our stay. The house is clean, comfortable, and exceptionally well-stocked. Sean is an excellent host who communicated with us extremely well. He clearly loves the house and works hard to provide a first-rate experience for his guests. Thanks Sean! I'm pretty sure you'll see us again.

Great week on Bass Lake!

Our stay at Bass Lake was great overall. The place is clean, well stocked with necessities and has an amazing lake view. I will mention that this lake isn’t a swimming lake as the bottom is super soft, but the fishing, kayaking and pontoon trips made up for it! A great week!

Peaceful lake and great cottage

We loved our stay and will definitely look into staying here again. The host Sean provides everything needed to enjoy this peaceful piece of paradise. Our 2 year old grandson enjoyed playing on the beach and catching his first fish from the dock while mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa took turns using the kayaks, peddle boat, paddle board, or relaxing in the sun or shade with our 2 month old grandson. This is what you think of when you’re thinking “Up North” Michigan.

Hidden Gem!

My best friend and I took our Mom's to Traverse City for a week of adventure. This house was a piece of paradise; cozy and felt like home. The waterfront view alone was worth it but add in a cozy fireplace, plethora of extra supplies (towels, TP, etc), lovely neighbors and a quiet location to take it to the next level! Everything we wanted to do was a short 15-40 min away. Our favorites were the nearby alpaca farm (Rainbow Valley Family Farm), exploring the peninsula (lighthouse, visiting the Blacksmith and local wineries), restaurants, the lavender farm and Big Bear park. As a disabled individual, I especially appreciated the first floor bedroom and bathroom that included a walk in shower retrofitted with grab bars and a small seated option in the corner. We were so pleased with this rental and more importantly, the contributions it made to our once in a lifetime memories that will be cherished forever! Thank you so much! Hoping this gem doesn't book up before we can rent again next year.

Family Trip to Traverse

We had an awesome stay! The property was well equipped with everything we needed both inside and out. The home was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed all the outside toys, kayaks, paddle boat, hammock, and the dock for fishing. We rented a pontoon boat for our stay and enjoyed boating around the quiet lake, fishing, and stops at the sand bar. The sunsets were beautiful! We also enjoyed the fire pits and making s’mores. We will absolutely be back hopefully next summer.
