About this property

Quaint cabin on Bass Lake - Close to Traverse City dining and shopping!

Saturday - Saturday rental during peak season (6/1/2024 - 8/22/2024)
Traverse City Michigan, Bass Lake, New 2022 Listing. Our beautiful comfortable cabin is just steps to the water. A remodeled and re-purposed 1950 fishing's resort, now our family's roots to legacy lake front living. Enjoy quiet mornings, sipping coffee while watching for the loons to swim by to say hello. This up north oasis is just what the doctor ordered to unplug and recharge. Perfect for couples and small families. Families of four to six could be accommodated. There are three beds one queen, two twins (bunks) and a pull out sofa with a queen mattress. Maximum four adults please. Nicely appointed furnishings in a classic setting make for the perfect pure Michigan getaway. Light recreational boat traffic on Bass lake makes it ideal for family fun or quiet days of fishing. Just minutes from downtown Traverse City, you have easy access to all the festivals, food, wineries and scenic attractions.
Portable air conditioning and heaters to assist in creating comfort in the ever changing temps of northern Michigan. There is a fire pit, beach, kayak, row boat, and large deck with plenty of seating to enhance the out of doors enjoyment. Kitchen and basic domestic supplies have been included to make your stay more comfortable. The pictures are worth a thousand words. We love our "Texas" cabin on Bass Lake, we hope you will too.

Great location, comfy Cabin

Stayed in the off season. Loved the location of the cabin, peaceful quiet lake setting. Traveled with our dog and the inclosed deck was perfect.

Great Place

Wonderful property with an amazing view. Close to all the fun of Traverse City but far enough away for a peaceful cabin experience. Owners were friendly and attentive. My dog and family would definitely book here again.

Lovely lake house

The house is small but comfortable. It's clear the owners put a lot of effort into making it nice. Sitting and watching the lake was so peaceful. When issues came up the owners were very responsive & on top of things. Overall a lovely stay.

Wonderful Weekend

My husband and I had the privilege to stay here along with our dog and it is everything that is promised. The cozy lil cottage on Bass Lake is exactly what we needed for an autumn weekend getaway. Our dog loved the property right away and it immediately felt like a home away from home. Less than a half hour from Traverse City’s famous wineries and even less time away from downtown TC itself, we were able to enjoy a fun, dog-friendly weekend that is so important to young couples like ourselves, who don’t want having a “fur baby” to prevent you from getting away and enjoying upper Michigan’s wonders in early Fall. I highly recommend this stay, and thank Kathy and Mike again for their hospitality. 🐾❤️

Bass Lake

We really enjoyed our stay on Bass Lake. We were able to take the kayaks out a couple or mornings and our dog loved the access to the lake. The cabin and the kitchen are very well stocked with everything you need. We were there just as the leaves are starting to change. I bet it will be really pretty. The location was great. Not too far from Traverse city, sleeping bear dunes, and wine tasting on the peninsulas. Would love to come back.

Relaxing getaway

This cabin is a gem! It was beautifully decorated, spotless, and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. My husband and I enjoyed listening to the wildlife while drinking our coffee in the morning before heading out to explore the area, kayaking or chilling at the cabin for the day. We can’t wait to come back!

Family vacation

This cabin is located on a beautiful, calm, peaceful lake. The cabin has everything you need & is so warm & welcoming. It’s in a perfect place to stay to enjoy both the lake & day trips. We enjoyed spending time at the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, downtown Traverse City, Fishtown, North Port & Sutton Bay. Fishing & kayaking everyday. Highly recommend this property. The owners are amazing! They treated us like family.

Quiet charming getaway.

This charming cabin provided us the quiet peaceful escape we were looking for. Tucked away from the business of Traverse City but close enough to explore the the area. The cabin was full of thoughtful touches and our kids thoroughly enjoyed the nightly fires, s'mores and time by the lake to throw rocks, sticks and listen to the birds.

Adorable cottage

Clean, adorable cottage on Bass Lake. We primarily booked it to relax and fish. The location was perfect, close to many attractions. The only complaint is that the beach and dock are a shared space and that isn’t relayed in the description.

Just ok

We booked the place for 1 week in early August. The cabin is kind of old and there is no AC. There were 4-5 fans in each room and we had to keep them running at all times in order to keep the air circulating. We had to leave halfway through the week because it was so loud. I guess it is ok for the price and it is pretty close to Traverse City. The manager was very responsive but there was nothing she could do to improve our experience.

Awesome Lake Life Experience

We stayed in this cabin with friends and family. The rental was clean when we reached. It had all the amenities squeezed in that short space efficiently. The neighboring rentals owner were also very helpful and gave us extra kayaks to use. No issue checking in or checking out. I would recommend the owner to add additional kayaks to their inventory though.
