Modern amenities provide comfort and allow you the space to relax and take in nature where indoor meets outdoor. The Nook Up North is located 15 minutes from downtown TC along with all of the outdoor summer and winter fun that comes along with it!brbrbrbrbrbrFind more @thenookupnorthbrbrbrbrGreen Lake Township, Short Term Permit #PSTR 25-024brbrbrbrThe Space:brbrThe spacebrbrbrbrThe cabin was born out of a love for adventure - a place where you can take a break from the everyday grind and relax for while.brbrbrbrThe space is a blend of form and function where small spaces serve their purpose and everything has its place. You'll find the open floor plan, modern amenities and vast outdoor space make 500 sq. ft. feel pretty big. The cabin was built with sustainability & inclusivity in mind - you will find the lower level of the cabin is universally accessible and there are many environmentally friendly features to be found throughout. We hope it is a place you can come to slow down, rejuvenate, connect with nature and make some memories!brbrbrbr***IMPORTANT items to note:brbrbrbr#1: THERE IS NO LAKE ACCESS ON CABIN PROPERTY. You will have to drive about 5 miles to the Bass Lake Public Boat launch area. There is a beach and a sand bar where families and dogs can swim. The dock and lake frontage within cabin view is not owned by us, we ask that you please stay on the cabin property during your stay.brbrbrbrbrbrbrbr- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -brbrbrbrCABIN OVERVIEW:brbrbrbrBEDROOM 1:brbrFull sized bed w/ bathroom & closet attached. Please note that this is the only bathroom in the cabin and it is a shower only, no tub. We have stocked a clothes steamer & blowdryer + hair straightener in the top shelf of the closet for guest use. There is a tv in this bedroom and streaming services such as Netflix & Hulu are preloaded. There are games & books stocked on the bedroom shelves. brbrbrbrLOFT:brbrKing sized bed - you will have to climb the ladder to get up to this & the ceiling height is not quite tall enough to stand. A king sized bed makes this space super comfy!brbrbrbrBATHROOM:brbrYou will find plenty of amenities including hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. During the cold months, make sure to utilize the heated floor feature :) and make sure to test out the light up mirror! There are white towels stocked for bathing/hot tub use. You will also find makeup towels, & extra toilet paper if needed. Please use the dark gray towels (in laundry room) for dogs/mud. brbrbrbr*** Additional eco-friendly toilet paper is on top shelf in bathroom.brbrbrbrKITCHEN:brbrbrbrStocked with all the necessary essentials you'll need to make and serve a full meal as well as seasonings, spices and cooking oil. Please note that the pans are stainless steel and when pre-heated with a tad bit of olive oil they are nonstick. Our most common questions regarding the kitchen are about the coffee maker. The coffee maker uses K-cups. All appliances stainless steel and include a dishwasher, electric range & refrigerator (this is a smaller fridge but plenty big enough for your week / weekend stay! You'll find the dishwasher to the right of the sink and eco-friendly dish tabs stocked in the laundry area in a labeled glass container to use as needed. brbrbrbrLAUNDRY & MUD ROOM:brbrThe laundry area comes stocked with powdered tide (in labeled glass container) and eco-friendly dryer balls as an alternative to dryer sheets - please use these as needed. On the laundry room shelves you will find the first aid kit and lint rollers. Also in the laundry room are doggy waste bags and dark gray dog towels. *** We ask that you please clean up after your pet! There are also other dogs in the area so we ask that you keep your pet on a leash outside.brbrbrbrOUTSIDE:brbrThe cabin has two screened in porches - both have cushioned couches/chairs to sit and relax. We consider the front deck to be more of a sun deck and the the back to be more of a private deck for relaxing in or out of your private hot tub (open year-round) overlooking the lake - on a clear night be sure to look up, you can see the stars! Also off the back deck is a secluded wooded area that is one of our favorite spots for evening bonfires, roasting s'mores, grilling on the park grill, eating at the picnic table or relaxing on the hammock. You'll also find a private outdoor shower where you can easily wash yourself or your pets off after being in the lake or hot tub. There is a large storage bin with outdoor games, yoga mats and extra towels next to the hot tub/shower. *** Tip: Be sure to plug in the string lights on the back deck for some great evening ambiance.brbrbrbrCARPORT/GARAGE AREA:brbrThe carport has enough space to cover one car. It has side walls that shield from rain and snow. This space is also where you will find both the trash and recycling bins - please recycle when possible! brbrbrbrLOCATION:brbrOur most common question is about the home's proximity to Downtown Traverse City - It is about 15 minutes to downtown TC and Grand Traverse Bay where you will find all of the best restaurants, shopping and beaches. The cabin is about 10 minutes to Grand Traverse Mall area where you will find all the necessities for groceries, etc. The cabin overlooks Bass lake which is a small, spring-fed, 343 acre, all sports lake which offers a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. There are five islands on the lake, each one making it more unique - also makes for a fun kayak or SUP adventure! Bass lake also has a small public beach and boat launch within a 10 minute drive from the cabin. Here you can jut in kayaks and SUP's and take your family, friends or dogs for a swim. ***Please keep in mind there is no lake access on the cabin property. To access the lake you will need to visit the public landing.brbrbrbr- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -brbrbrbrWhether you are looking for a secluded getaway to reconnect with nature, an adventure, or simply a place to relax & unwind with modern comforts, The Nook Up North invites you to do just that!

There is a public landing within driving distance to take dogs for a swim. The cabin overlooks bass lake which can be seen from the back door, deck, hot tub & fire pit areas. The lake is more visible in the fall/winter months when the leaves have fallen.brbrbrbr♥ We love animals and strongly believe your fur friends should be able to travel with you! We have stocked dog bowls for food and water (washed between stays) at the cabin as well as dog towels and dog waste bags so that they can feel right at home too!
