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.

    The cabin is directly on the lake with everything you would need to enjoy nature at its best. Fully loaded kitchen, coffee bar and all utensils you would need. The dock was perfect for star gazing or to just sit and enjoy the beauty of it all. The nightly fires on the beach roasting marshmallows brought back childhood memories. I would highly recommend this cabin.Mike and Kathy are the perfect hosts. They would respond to any questions or concerns if any. This was a 5 plus rating for us. We will definitely be back for summer and fall colors again.

    Great experience. Mike and family treated us like family. Peaceful setting, great with our pup with wrap around porch. Alot of water toys, campfire, treats from the area. Gorgeous weather for enjoying nature and kayaking. Nearby Traverse City has much to do, enjoyed it all but it all starts with the hosts and the waterfront cabin!

    The cottage was the perfect rental for our family of three and dog. The cottage was well maintained and had everything needed for a week long trip. The lake and surrounding property was beautiful. Mike and Kathy were friendly, helpful and all around great hosts.

    We had a great stay at the Texas cottage. It was cute, cozy and comfortable. We loved the wrap around deck and peaceful view of the lake in the mornings and evenings. My boys loved fishing off the dock and exploring the lake in the kayaks. Mike and Kathy were so welcoming and wonderful hosts.

    Our second time staying at this lovely and peaceful little retreat. Mike and Kathy are great hosts and start your visit with a welcome basket of tasty local snacks. The cottages are clean, comfortable, and have everything you need. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck and dock, taking the available kayaks out to the little islands, and using the nice grill to prepare delicious fresh fish. Location is perfect because it’s only 15 minutes to Traverse City but is located far from the main road so it is quiet and surrounded by nature. We loved hearing the resident loon family each night and watching lots of herons, kingfishers, and other birds. Super bonus that we could bring our dog too, so the whole family could be together. We will be back!

    Loved our stay at the Texas cottage. Mike and Kathy were terrific hosts. The gated wrap around deck was so perfect for our pup but would also be great for young children. Nicely appointed and decorated. And you can’t beat the location. Highly recommended!

    Perfect from start to finish! Adorable gift basket welcomed us and the cottage was just adorable. Very comfortable and had everything in the kitchen one would need. Beds were great and the lakefront living was simply amazing. Easy access to downtown TC and tons of hiking and biking. Hosts were easy to reach and very kind (they live on property). I would love to return sometime and highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking in the area!

    My family of 4 stayed for the memorial day weekend, and enjoyed our stay. The small touches were so appreciated - there was coffee and fun snacks waiting for us along with a kind note. The house matched the pictures and descriptions perfectly. The area was very quiet, and beautiful, with excellent access to great places for walking and running. And of course the house is right on the lake!

    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. The size of the cabin was comfortable for my husband, myself and the dog. Easy to get to the downtown and other surrounding areas. Loved our stay will definitely being returning again.

    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.

    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.
