Great family getaway!
Our family from the UK was visiting, and we wanted them to have a great Michigan lake cottage experience. This was perfect for our needs, and the kids had so much fun paddleboarding and fishing off the dock! We all enjoyed the fires, and had a fantastic time. Thank you for a great place!

Great Lake Getaway!
This was a super cute lake house on a quiet lake. We had 4 adults and 3 children in this trip and we spent the majority of our time outside and in the water! The paddle boards and kayak were a hit, the swim beach is clean, and the lake is beautiful. If you don’t like seaweed/muck on the bottom of the lake when you swim you may want to bring some swim shoes. Great fishing right off the dock! The house had plenty of shower and beach towels. If you have a big group you may want to bring some extra outdoor lounge chair, there were 2 broken chairs when we arrived and the remaining 3 were a bit sketchy as to their strength. Bring life vests as there are none at this property. Most standard kitchen supplies/utensils available. Bring your own toiletries and paper products. The bbq grill is pretty rusted out but still is functional as well. Lisa was very responsive to questions! Overall this was a great property and we had a lovely vacation!!

Exactly what was needed
Quaint, cozy, and convenient. Went for a weekend getaway without the kids, this rental met the need. Close to Edmore and 20-25 minutes from Mount Pleasant. Love the view and fire pit was great. Paddle boards were fun. As far as the TV goes, it is only used for playing DVDs and VHS. Was hoping to have some other football games on, but was not a big deal.

Cute cottage but needs a good deep cleaning and lots of routine maintenance done!
Property is a great location, perfect for a getaway from the hustle and bustle with family. BUT, needs work(especially the back deck and lots of broken outdoor furniture!) and a good deep clean.. under beds, above cupboards, under/around furniture is VERY dirty. Vacuum does not work to clean up after little kids meal times (everything is carpet) Water smells horrible - definitely bring lots of bottle water for drinking, brushing teeth and cooking - we couldn’t even stand it to shower. Lots of dishes and cookware available which is great! Paddle boards were fun and kids loved fishing off the dock!

lovely quiet spot
We had a great time at this well-built cabin. The kitchen was wonderful and quite clean with plenty of dishes and pans. We enjoyed the comfortable living area and the privacy of the bedrooms--each bedroom is separated from the other with the thick walls, closets etc. The bathroom could use some updates in the shower/tub area-like get rid of the rusty soap and shampoo holder. We did appreciate how well supplied with towels, tissues, etc. The outdoor area is wonderful with the 2 decks-one in sun, the other shade. We appreciated the water, paddle boards and sandy beach and that there is quite a few feet of sandy bottom on the lake before the weeds. The upper deck and railings to the lower deck could use updating. It would have been nice to have a DVD player, also. There are DVD's but no player. Over all, this is a beautifully built cabin with everything you need plus more!

Great location and host!
This is such a great location. Neighbors are kind and the lake provides endless fun. Firepit is great and right on the sand. The host was very responsive and kind when we ran out of propane for the grill. We would stay again! It is a lovely place for a lake week. It was so nice to be able to use the paddle boards and there are plenty of towels both bath and beach to use. Beds were comfortable and cozy.

Family Cottage
Perfect place for a family getaway with little ones (2,4, and 6). The kids loved the attic bedroom, which was kept plenty cool with the AC unit. Lake is a bit weedy around the floating dock, but we had a great time paddle boarding to the swimming area right around the bend (500 ft?) and playing on the beach. Lake was quiet with great fishing (caught tons of bluegill right off the dock). Cottage was well-stocked and comfortable. One bathroom was a little tight for the amount of people it slept, but we made it work. Host was quick with responses. Would recommend and stay again.

Relaxing Getaway
A few things to note or plan for if you stay here. 1. I had to reach out to the owner for the code to get in. We arrived after the posted check-in time, but the code was not in my messages. 2. The water is hard and smelly! We used bottled water for drinking, cooking, and teeth brushing. Bring a lot or prepare to go to the store. 3. Corn hole, although pictured, does not come with the property. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The beach was nice, the fire pit was great, the SUP's were awesome. Bring a fishing pole. 😊

Great for young kids
We had a great stay at this quaint little cottage. Location was quiet and cottage was comfy and as described. Good mix of sun and shade to enjoy. The lake front beach was awesome for my 5year old and he loved jumping off the floating dock. The water was fairly clear, not overly weedy. The water is not very deep though (maybe 8ft), even off the floating dock, so us adults couldn't really do much dock jumping. So for teens, this should be considered. We did have some friends visit though who had teens and they loved the paddle boards. Internet was fast enough to stream shows, so would probably fine if you needed to work from the cottage. Super close to all amenities including Walmart, pharmacy and cinema about 20min drive which was amazing! Great stay overall and would come back for sure!

nice house
The house was roomy enough for all 10 of us, well stocked and clean. However, on the first night one of the beds broke. A call to the owner got this resolved quickly. On the third night the toilet seat broke I fixed this myself. The upper deck is in need of repair, there was one large garbage bag to last a week. The out side is very roomy with a large beach area. A few minor repairs can make this a great place to stay.

Great long weekend with the family.
Our family of 6, 4 kids, my wife and I booked this cottage on Bass Lake for a long weekend. We made great memories and enjoyed every second of this private lake. The cottage met all of our needs, with a fully stocked kitchen, cards and games for the kids, sheets, towels, and paper products all waiting on us when we arrived. We utilized all 4 outdoor living spaces. My wife and I enjoyed the peace and stillness of the lake with early morning coffee on the top deck. Breakfast was served on the side patio at the large picnic table. The lower covered deck was a great for an afternoon game out of the sun. We enjoyed dinner on the lower deck with the patio set and shade umbrella. We purchased firewood at a local gas station and enjoyed camp fires every night. The kids enjoyed using the paddle boards and fished non stop off the dock. A floating dock was also utilized when swimming in Bass Lake. We took in two local sites, The Farmer and the Dell. A local and delicious ice cream shoppe and Anderson and the Girls Orchard and Zoo. The Zoo is FREE. Our kids got to see and pet so many different animals, this was perfect on a cooler day at the lake. We utilized the in house washer and dryer, because who wants to wash a mountain of laundry when you get home from vacation? The owner was easy to contact, very responsive, no issues at all. The one downfall of our stay was algae. Bass Lake is shallow and we spent out first day cleaning up the beach and shallow area due to a lot of algae and “muck” at the waters edge. Besides the “muck” and the inconvenience attached to it, the stay was great!
