Perfect Lakefront Cabin on Beautiful Sandy Bass Lake! 2 Kayaks included

Experience the feeling of northern Michigan! This quaint cabin overlooks beautiful, sandy Bass Lake and has its own dock(could be winterized) charcoal grill, fire pit, picnic table and use of our 2 Kayaks (April-Oct). This cabin is perfect for a small family. Main bedroom has a full bed, 2nd bedroom has built in bunks( 2 single beds). This cabin is best suited for 2 adults and two children due to the bunk style beds. Save money cooking your own meals in a full kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops with farm sink and all your cooking necessities. The cabin sits on the east side of Bass Lake facing west, so the sunsets and starry nights are amazing, especially viewed around the campfire! Bass Lake is unique because its' sandy bottom all-sport lake is just 20 Miles from downtown Traverse City, where there is plenty of fun family-activities. During the summer you can also enjoy everything the surrounding area has to offer by taking day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan or the take a drive north to sample Michigan's finest wines. Hit the slopes at Crystal Mountain only 14 miles away during the winter. Last but not least, there is broadband internet, good cellphone service, and a HD Smart T.V.

Additionally, we are just 5 miles from the world-renowned Interlochen Center for the Arts, and a perfect place to stay while visiting your kids for concerts and performances. Docks may be winterized Sept through May weather dependent.

Our Favorite Get-a-Way

My husband and I love staying in the cabin. This will be our third time. The first time was in the summer, so we made use of the kayaks and my husband did some fishing from the dock. The last two times we came in the fall to enjoy the colors and to do some hiking. The cabin is cozy, clean and feels like home. Andrew set us up with firewood from the neighbor. Jerry was great and even helped us get the fire started. Even though it was unseasonably warm for October, the wind put a damper on us using the kayaks this time. The lake was pretty choppy. We highly recommend the kayaks when the weather cooperates. I had a couple questions for Andrew during our stay, and he responded right away. He’s an excellent host. Thanks again for sharing your cabin with us.

Comfortable and cozy

Enjoyed our two days at Bass Lake. Small accommodations and what we needed for a home base between excursions to Sleeping Bear, Glen Arbor, and surrounds. Enjoyed the kayaks. Night sky amazing.

Cute cabin with great sunsets

We have been to Interlochen and the surrounding area previously and love the region, but this was our first time on Bass Lake. The lake is great! Sandy and shallow for our 1 year-old to splash her feet in, and provided a beautiful setting for views of the sunset. The cabin is small, but had everything we needed, and was very clean. The only snag was the unlock code for the door did not work initially - but we called the owner, and Andy helped us out immediately.

Nice Get Away

We went with our 2 teenage daughters to this private lake property, it is small, but it was fine for the 4 of us. we went in April, so it was cool, and the dock wasn't in, but it was peaceful. Not far from grocery store and close enough to the dunes. It was a pleasant getaway with the family.

Good to unplug

The first thing we noticed was the dog hair on all the furniture and floor, and unfortunately it made my boyfriend sneeze the whole weekend. Cleanliness was not at its peak that’s for sure. But as far as location and amenities go it was good. Bed is small and not too comfy. Priced right. Lake is beautiful.

Great Getaway for Grandpa, Dad and Son

We booked this cabin on a whim, but we had such a great time! Beautiful property, great location, very peaceful lake and just what we were looking for. Perfect place to sit around the fire pit, grill some brats and enjoy the sounds of nature. Very cozy inside as well! Buds Coffee shop near Interlochen State Park was a cool place for coffee and breakfast.

Great cabin, beautiful lake view, nice access to area, very comfortable for family of four. We really enjoyed an extended weekend next to lake. The kitchen was well equipped to fix every meal we enjoy. It was nice to kayak, jog and swim while in comfort of a cabin. We highly recommend.

Best of both worlds!

I wrote a review on the big house explaining how great this property is (it really is a gem!) but to add to it having both properties offers a wonderful big house for family meals and fun, but also a quiet respite in the cabin! We loved having both!

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Verleger

Host profile image
I grew up spending my summers in Northern Michigan. My wife Molly and I bought this home so our kids can experience the same. We hope by lending our home out to you as guest you will be able to experience the same for your family and children.

Why they chose this property

There are so many reason I fell in love with this property. First of all Bass Lake is a hidden Gem. This spring-fed, clean, clear sandy bottom lake is what drew me in. The lake is peaceful and looks across at state land. The house sits just far enough from Traverse City that it enjoys a lack of light pollution so the star gazing is spectacular.
