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.

Beautiful outdoor area & property. Very private and peaceful.
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!
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!!!
Maple Woods has everything you could want! Kitchen has tons of dishes for every occasion. The kayaks for kids and adults are always a plus. Bonnie is always available for any questions!
We have stayed here several times and it is as always wonderful. It was so beautiful and quiet, we had a great time.
We had a great time. So many water toys we had a blast. Got lucky with the fish and had a fish fry while we were there. Completely furnished inside and out! We will be back.
This is our third year staying. We love it. The grand children love swimming and the playing on the swings. The adults love fishing and relaxing. Lots of bonfires, boating and kayaking.
The property is more than what we could have asked for. Everything you needed was at your fingertips. Great weather and great stay. Thanks Bonnie and Rick
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!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was even nicer than expected - particularly the living and kitchen areas which were updated and nicely appointed. The close proximity to Crystal Mountain (20 min) and private lakefront location were ideal for a family winter getaway.
