Maple Woods Cottage on beautiful Bass Lake #PSTR 22-071 6 adults/2 children

Maple Woods Cottage, “A kid’s paradise and a parent’s dream!” A quote from one of our 2022 renters! We feel they have perfectly summed it up! Six adults/2 children.

Be sure to view our video!
Ask about our cancellation policy. Nothing VRBO offered as a choice matched what we’ve been doing successfully for 18 years now!
At the end of a quiet, private road, and nestled among majestic pine, beech, oak, and maple trees, this gorgeous cottage is the lakefront retreat you have been looking for!

Downstairs you will find an inviting, tastefully furnished, living room with a beautiful stone-faced, gas log fireplace. A large Smart TV and Blu-Ray player with lots of DVD's from which to choose, as well as a Wave Radio/CD Player. An expansive picture window overlooks Bass Lake including a beautiful, sandy beach. The dining area boasts an artfully designed table that can seat up to ten comfortably.

The kitchen is fully-appointed with stainless appliances, utensils, and equipment for casual to elegant entertaining. Quartz counter-tops and a beautiful tile back-splash, as well as a large peninsula for prep work and serving. A utility room with stacked washer/dryer and a large pantry are just off the kitchen. We leave detergents and dryer sheets for your use (we ask that you launder towels prior to your departure). Additionally, downstairs you will find the beautiful master bedroom complete with king-size bed, Smart TV, dressing room, and bath with walk-in shower. A large picture window overlooks the lake. Wi-Fi throughout the house.

Upstairs, you will first enter the den/TV room.... a perfect hide-away for the kids (or adults seeking solitude). The den is furnished with a comfortable small couch, a double ottoman, a comfy chair, as well as floor pillows for comfy movie-watching (Smart TV). Two large bedrooms and a beautiful bath with tub/shower finish the second floor. Both bedrooms have picturesque views of the lake and the woods. One is furnished with a queen bed as well as a daybed and TV. The other upstairs bedroom also boasts a queen-size bed and a twin bed, with a door into the upstairs bathroom (can be used as a second Master). Both upstairs bedrooms have built-in desks.

The cottage has central air-conditioning and heat, as well as two upstairs units to help cool on those hot summer days.

Finally, the cottage has two gorgeous porches and a large deck... the porch and deck across the entire front of the home overlook the lake, private sunning patio and beach as well as the boat dock and playground. The fire pit is on the patio. There is a great deal of seating for entertaining and a large dining table that seats 6-8 for outdoor dining. The rear porch overlooks beautiful Michigan woods and holds the gas-grill.

Maple Woods Cottage is a private, family retreat on Bass Lake, a 96 acre all-sports lake. Much of the lake's shoreline is dedicated to a state park, which makes it a sanctuary for wildlife including loons, herons, white-tailed deer, raccoons, beavers, and a variety of game fish such as bass, walleye, pike, perch and bluegill. The lake is a ideal for swimming, boating, fishing, skiing, and tubing. We provide a fishing boat with motor, 4 kayaks, a swim raft and a pedalboat for casual summer fun. In the winter, the Bass Lake area is known for ice skating, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing, as well as downhill skiing at Crystal Mountain.

We are just minutes from the Interlochen Arts Center, Traverse City and Grand Traverse Bay, Crystal Mountain Ski & Golf Resort, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Seashore, Leland, Shanty Town, numerous wineries, concert halls, Leelanau Sands Casino, award-winning golf courses, Little Betsie River and Lake Michigan.

We accept Pay Pal in addition to personal checks and VRBO booking. Our contract must be signed at the time of booking.

Please note that we do NOT accept recreational vehicles on our property for spill-over of guests. Outdoor security cameras.

We DO have a cancellation policy. It is listed in our rental agreement (contract). Tentak by week only during summer season.

Maple Woods for the win!
We loved our stay in Interlochen. The house was perfect. Very clean, big yard, nice beach... Bonnie was very quick to respond to any questions and gave us lots of information upfront so we knew exactly how to get around the house. Would stay again for sure :)

Great Home for Kids & Adults
The house was clean and offered great outdoor space with the large deck and comfy furniture along with the beach and fire pit areas that both had the most comfortable chairs. Cornhole, tons of beach toys, kyacks (2 adult, 2 children), a paddle boat, and a motor boat were all provided. Everything you could need inside the house was provided. About a 30 minute drive to brewery but a few good restaurants were only a 10 minute drive. Bedrooms were all a good size too! Bonnie was wonderful to work with! We had a great time!

Great family getaway
This was a perfect getaway with our toddlers. The water was shallow and warm and they loved playing in it and on the beach. It was nice that they had Sand toys, kayaks, and paddle boat to use also. It was a quiet and relaxing location, yet we appreciated the central air and Wi-Fi. It was about 30 minutes to get to traverse city. We would definitely go back to maple woods in the future!

Bass Lake Gem
Maple Woods cottage is amazing! There was plenty of room with one bedroom with a large King bed on the first floor and a private bath and two bedrooms upstairs with a queen and twin (additional trundle in one room) in each upstairs bedroom. The upstairs rooms shared a bathroom. The entire cottage and garden and beach was pristine clean! Everything was provided from pots and pans to spices and even a fresh herb garden in front for cooking!! The beach was even combed when we arrived and the kayaks, peddle boat and fishing boat were so fun!!! Bonnie is thoughtful and responsive and she even let us know there was going to be a meteor shower during our stay which we thoroughly enjoyed!!!

Bonnie thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us. We loved the interior of the home, decorated with fun colors, and art, and homey touches. The home was clean, comfortable, and made us feel right at home. The property has artistic pieces all over the property, beautiful flowers, and the porch with comfortable rocking chairs is truly charming. Our family enjoyed the beauty of the natural lake. It was perfect for our kids to swim. It was clear, warm, and clean for our kids which is so important to us. And the fishing was GREAT right off the pier too. Not to mention the play set, the kids loved! We spent a day at Sleeping Bear Dunes which was just 30 minutes away and another day exploring Traverse City which was also pretty close. We will definitely be back. Thank you, thank you!

Wonderful Relaxing Family Getaway
As described, this place has everything you need for an entire family vacation (including high chair, pack-n-play, and little life vests!). So many things for everyone to do! Relax, read a book, swimming, go fishing, paddle boat, motor boat, corn hole, swing set, sandy beach for castles, and the water itself was clear, and shallow (perfect for the littlest ones), even had a fire pit for roasting marshmallows at night. Absolutely delightful, my family is already requesting we return again soon!

Wonderful 2 day stay!
We were sorry we only had 2 days at this amazing property. The lake is an obvious playground when it is warm. The gas fireplace perfect was perfect for the cool temperatures we had. When it rained, we still enjoyed the huge covered porches on both sides of the house. Lots of nice outdoor seating! Dinner on the expanded deck overlooking the lake was enchanting and the kitchen is a joy to use. Nice high shade trees open to sunny beach with MORE seating and a fire pit. Nice grill outside kitchen. We were able to enjoy the paddle boat and 2 of the kayaks as well as take a spin around the lake on the rowboat with a motor. For some reason, we were under the impression that the rowboat would be bigger, so that was a minor disappointment. The neighborhood was quiet since we came following a holiday weekend, nice dirt road to walk. We had a little trouble making contact with the property manager but once we did, she was very responsive. We would love to bring our adult children or parents next time. Though the upstairs isn’t decorated to the same taste as downstairs, it is spacious and clean with a huge bathroom. Loved the pink towels and the glider swivel armchair downstairs!
