Traverse City, Michigan
A hidden gem on beautiful Bass Lake minutes from downtown Traverse City. Nestled in a quiet cove on a dead end road with amazing sunsets for that true peaceful up north getaway experience. It is a 2 level home with 3 bedrooms, 1-3/4 baths, sauna, and 2 car garage.
The main level of this house features the living room and kitchen / dining area. This space has amazing lake views. Full kitchen with dishwasher offers everything you need to prepare meals. The main level also has a bedroom with a queen bed and a sauna room attached. In the sauna room there is a sauna and sitting area which has a single hida-bed with a large patio right outside.
For mobility challenged quests, there is a ramp into the home with a main floor bedroom and bathroom equipped with grab bars. The tile shower has a bench but the bathroom is not wheelchair accessible, it does however offer some safety features (grab bars).
There are Flat screen televisions with cable in every bedroom. High speed internet (300 mbps), and WiFi are provided. There is a washer and dryer that are you’re free to use as well.
Bass lake is an all sports lake but is very quiet which makes it especially great for fishing, kayaking, and pontooning. There are 2 kayaks, a paddle board, a paddle boat, and a canoe on site for you to use. Go fishing, swimming, or just float around (it is a soft bottom lake).
This location is only 10 minutes to the downtown area where there is plenty of shopping and dining. Go to one of the many wineries or even on one of the wine tastings. Craft beer has really blown up in the area and there are many breweries and flavors to choose from. There are air balloon rides, parasailing, and sailing cruises. Interlochen center for the arts is close by along with many other various nature trails and parks. This area has so much to offer.
Our stay at Bass Lake was great overall. The place is clean, well stocked with necessities and has an amazing lake view. I will mention that this lake isn’t a swimming lake as the bottom is super soft, but the fishing, kayaking and pontoon trips made up for it! A great week!
We loved our stay and will definitely look into staying here again. The host Sean provides everything needed to enjoy this peaceful piece of paradise. Our 2 year old grandson enjoyed playing on the beach and catching his first fish from the dock while mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa took turns using the kayaks, peddle boat, paddle board, or relaxing in the sun or shade with our 2 month old grandson. This is what you think of when you’re thinking “Up North” Michigan.
Was very nice cabin and very clean! The house had all houshold supplies that we were needed. Thank you!
We enjoyed staying here so much! The house is impressively clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and the location is beautiful, peaceful, and fun. We would definitely go back!
My best friend and I took our Mom's to Traverse City for a week of adventure. This house was a piece of paradise; cozy and felt like home. The waterfront view alone was worth it but add in a cozy fireplace, plethora of extra supplies (towels, TP, etc), lovely neighbors and a quiet location to take it to the next level! Everything we wanted to do was a short 15-40 min away. Our favorites were the nearby alpaca farm (Rainbow Valley Family Farm), exploring the peninsula (lighthouse, visiting the Blacksmith and local wineries), restaurants, the lavender farm and Big Bear park. As a disabled individual, I especially appreciated the first floor bedroom and bathroom that included a walk in shower retrofitted with grab bars and a small seated option in the corner. We were so pleased with this rental and more importantly, the contributions it made to our once in a lifetime memories that will be cherished forever! Thank you so much! Hoping this gem doesn't book up before we can rent again next year.
Beautiful lake view. All family members loved taking the kayaks and peddle boat around the islands - even in September! Wonderful deck for dinner and watching the sunsets. The house had plenty of bedrooms and comfy living area. The kitchen is well equipped. Easy communication with Sean, the owner. We definitely would rent this property again.
Quiet lake cottage. Close to attractions- hiking, shopping, etc.
house needs some updating Price point is good. Neighbors are awesome Only negative is muddy/peat lake bottom
Back for our third time. Love Sean’s place.
Very quiet and peaceful lake. Great watching the loons swim and dive for food. Fun fishing too.
Sean’s lake house was beautiful. You cannot beat the lake access or the view. It was nice to have our own private beach and dock. Being 15 minutes from downtown traverse city was amazing. We often drove downtown to enjoy a nice dinner. Thanks for sharing your house with us, Sean!
We had an awesome stay! The property was well equipped with everything we needed both inside and out. The home was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed all the outside toys, kayaks, paddle boat, hammock, and the dock for fishing. We rented a pontoon boat for our stay and enjoyed boating around the quiet lake, fishing, and stops at the sand bar. The sunsets were beautiful! We also enjoyed the fire pits and making s’mores. We will absolutely be back hopefully next summer.
We had the best stay at this waterfront retreat! It was even better in person than it looked online. Everything was very clean & the host was quick to respond. The location is ideal, making it easy for day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Fishtown, Old Mission, Elk Rapids, etc.... We enjoyed the quiet lake and the kayaks provided.
Everything about our trip to this location was fantastic. The property was very well maintained and meticulously cared for, yet and felt warm and inviting. To reiterate, the care for this property inside and out is glaringly evident. It was very easy to navigate the house and we enjoyed the peaceful setting and quiet lake while being very close to Traverse City. Our family enjoyed all of the lake toys provided and the warm water of Bass Lake. Both fire pits were a hit offering different views of the lake and the sauna was an added bonus. The back deck was also perfect and I really enjoyed having a perfect setting to use the gas grill. Lastly, the glider swing and hammock were perfect for mid afternoon naps. What a great place!
Everything outlined in the property description was right on point, and then some. Such a a charming place with EVERYTHING you could possibly need for a great and comfortable time. The real deal is the waterfront and side yard that offered ample space for yard games, great fires, and easy way to access the lake. Kayaking could not have been easier. Neighbors are very nice. Definitely would like to return!
We loved this rental so much last year that we booked it again for this season. Clean, Quiet, Peaceful, Comfortable setting on a beautiful lake that is minutes from town but feels like it's an hour away from the madness of TC. Great sunsets. Amazing fishing. A host who has already thought of everything to make your stay seamless and relaxing. 6 stars!
