About this property

Feel right at home! Traditional family cabin feel with a clean modern base.

Enjoy a stay at a newly renovated lakeside cottage. You'll feel like you are visiting your grandparents lake house. The cottage is situated on the north shore of 100 acre all sports Bass Lake in Vestaburg, Michigan. The cottage can be enjoyed throughout all of the seasons of Michigan. Ice fishing too...there is an ice auger in the shed. The cottage is situated in a private neighborhood that is adjacent to over 2,000 acres of state land for hunting and hiking. There is a map in the photo section.
The space
This a 900 square foot home with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Each bedroom has a queen bed. The master bedroom overlooks the lake and has a clothes dresser and garment rack and a 40 inch smart TV. The 2nd bedroom is smaller, but does have a closet and dresser. The utility room has a washer and dryer that guests may use as needed. The bathroom is spacious with a new vanity sink, toilet, and a updated shower (no bathtub). The large open living space contains a counter height dining table with a leaf, leather couch with dual recliners with a matching swivel recliner. A futon is located against the living room wall to create an additional sleeping space for 1-2 guests. The updated kitchen boasts quartz countertops, a massive stainless sink (big enough to bathe your toddlers), and a handy double oven with an over the range microwave. There is new vinyl plank flooring throughout the home.
Guest access
Guests will have access to the entire home. The sheds are inaccessible. Guests have use of the private boat launch next door. This launch is only for residents of the neighborhood and their guests. Guests have full use of a dock, paddle boat, 2 kayaks, 1 paddleboard, and a shared swim raft/waterslide and swim pad. If you need extra kayaks or paddleboards please message the host and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. Life jackets are available on the property, but if you need different sizes just ask! There are general use items in the cottage that can be used as needed, but please put them back where you found them.
Other things to note
Please keep in mind that this home is located on a private dirt road. This road is maintained by residents and your visit may occur during a span of time when the road is in need of maintenance. Please drive carefully. As you park your car just pull right onto limestone parking spaces. There is enough parking to comfortably fit 4 vehicles. This is a lake which is a natural area so keep in mind this will be cottage living! You are welcome to use the hot tub at the main house just keep in mind that even though it's not private, you won't be sharing it with others at the same time. The hot tub is at home of the host and it's only 20-50 feet away from the cottage. I do not list it as an amenity as I don't want to disappoint anyone as I cannot guarantee that weather, water balance, or function will be in full working order. The hot tub is an optional bonus for guests who want to use it.

The cottage is located 15 miles west of Alma, 25-30 minutes southwest of Mt. Pleasant, 1 hour north of Lansing, 1 hour northeast of Grand Rapids. If you need to visit your favorite college student at CMU or Alma College this is the perfect location! The Soaring Eagle casino is an easy 30 minute drive. Guests attending concerts have enjoyed staying here.

This is a living breathing home and we work hard to keep things in working order but as with all homes there are quirks, new noises, and things to learn so I have tried my best to add notes around the home to ease your stay. Feel free to reach out with questions or if you need help.

Wonderful Stay!

My stay here was absolutely wonderful! The house was very cozy and supplied everything you could ever need. Gorgeous view of the lake and great area to see the stars at night! Angie was a fantastic host! She was very helpful and attentive. Also, our dog sitter cancelled last minute and she was very accommodating of our situation. Overall 10/10 stay! Would recommend!

Anniversary Mini Vacation

We LOVED this cottage.. it really had everything we would need. It was fully supplied ( more then we expected) and the ammenities were top notch.. I liked the history of the cottage book that was included as well.. the host was considerate to leave small notes all over on how to use and operate things and that was helpful as well.. we would most certainly book again :) thank you Angie

Fun in the sun

I surprised my boyfriend with a stay at Angies place for his birthday. It was so much fun. The cabin is so clean and nice. Angie is so welcoming. We all enjoyed the kayaks, paddle board, paddle boat and we brought our jet skis. A beautiful weekend at a beautiful place. We will definitely book again in the future.

Cozy, clean nest

Only disappointment was that we couldn’t stay longer. Angie communicated throughout the process-even sending condolences when she found out we were in the area for brother in law’s funeral. Very clean, cozy, and easy to find everything, ie instructions to TV, and house rules. Beautiful view from patio of small lake-moon was full! If ever in the area again, would definitely stay here again :)

About the host

Hosted by Angie Davis

Host profile image
Our family is from the greater Central Michigan area. We have called a few places home over the years (DeWitt, Lansing, Shepherd, White Cloud) and now in Vestaburg! We enjoy sharing lake life with others and we just love hearing about our guests' experiences. It's been great to meet people from all over the world in our little spot on earth!

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to the area since 2002. We have lived here full time, part time, and then full time again. I have never found so much peace as I have found here just sitting on the deck looking out at the lake listening to the sounds around me. The peace and tranquility of the lake is what called us to build a home and move here full time. The opportunity to buy the cottage next door came up and the timing was right! This marked 2 things off my bucket list....home renovation and hosting a vacation rental. After the kids are gone, I may open our main home up as full service bed and breakfast, but for now the cottage rental is my little dream!

What makes this property unique

It truly has a cottage feel! My grandparents had a similar cottage on Horsehead Lake. My best memories were made at a lake cottage and I think that this cottage provides that for our guests! Also, as hosts we truly want you to have a great time and we are here to help in any way we can. We won't be noticeable, but if you need something just ask!
