August Stay

It had a wonderful cabin feeling, while being well stocked home. Plenty of room. The Beach was our favorite. There were some missed details upon our arrival such as a dirty towel hanging on back of bathroom door and a prior renter's bag of dirty clothes left in master closet. The kitchen was amazingly stocked with utensils and other items. Overall the place was just what we needed.

Great family getaway

This house and setting were wonderful! Plenty of room, large kitchen, great outdoor space, nice beach and lake access. The listing says the downstairs is colder than the upstairs. This is true. The basement was frigid. Difficult to control the temperature. Also, don’t buy wood from the neighbor. It is very expensive ($25!) and there are lots of places along the way to Interlochen that sell wood for $5. A couple of the mattresses could stand to be replaced but overall this was a great vacation spot. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent here again!!

Lake heaven

We loved our stay at Andy’s place. The lake was beautiful- clean sandy and a well kept secret with only a few boats. We caught tons of pan fish and bass. The house was wonderfully appointed- everything we needed was there. We had plenty of room- and the bunk room was a big hit with our kids! We also rented the cabin next door and it was the perfect quiet spot for the babies/nappers in our group. You can tell Andy has really thought about how to ensure his guests have a great visit. There were new kayaks, and while we visited a new arcade pac man game arrived and our kids swooned over it. Ping pong, darts, life jackets, camp chairs, noodles and more are there to share too. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful place! John, the manager is right next door and so helpful. He always had a smile for our kids and helped within a moments notice when we had a light bulb burn out. While we stayed I needed internet for a meeting and the internet was having some issues. I texted Andy the day before my meeting and he went right to work on it. He put in over 3 hours problem solving with TA fir the company that runs the internet and after many tries found a work around for me. Andy and John really went above and beyond to help with this issue, and even though it was out of their control they remained committed to solving it. We had a group from MI, CA, MN, and NC. We would stay here again in an instant (and hope to in the coming years!) we took bike rides, visited TC and sleeping bear dunes and floated the lake nearly everyday. The only was I can think of making this place better is perhaps some thermacells or dynatraps for mosquitos near the fire pit and our kids wished for a floating dock to jump off of like the neighbors have. But these were just wishes- really the place is amazing. Away from it all, capturing the essence of a pure Michigan summer. Thanks so much for sharing your home, Andy!

Strict/Rules/Rude Owner

The house is nice, but comes with a ton of rules and very strict. Ants all over the house and kitchen smelled like fish when we got there. Also, the hired lawn are company came in the middle of our party on a Friday night so we had to move everything that we already had set up. Grill was out of propane. Since we did not book the lodge on the same property (50 feet away) the owner rented it out to someone else so it felt like they were right on top of us all weekend. We have stayed in many other VRBO’s and even a few in the same area and have not had an experience like this one. The owner was not very good at communicating and when I finally called him he was rude on the phone and not welcoming whatsoever.

Great Stay

We had 24 family members staying here for a girls weekend. The bunk room was a major hit, the long benches with the dining room table was another bonus. The kids enjoyed the tree house, adults enjoyed sitting on the deck. Plenty of bathrooms and fridge space for this large group. Great stay over all and I would return!

Tranquil Lake Getaway

The Bass Lake Cottage is the perfect lake vacation getaway. We went with 2 other families-13 people in total-and everyone had a wonderful time. The yard and beach were big and beautiful, and the house was clean and well-apportioned. Everything we needed for a week of fun. Plus, Andy was a great host to deal with!

UTOPIA

We had our family of 8 adults and 8 young children at this Bass Lake Resort for a week in August 2019, to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. It was even better than pictured. Super clean, great floor plan(except for a small bedroom beside the master one, all bedrooms were spaced apart from each other which provided awesome privacy), amazing private beach that we heartily utilized, and well stocked kitchen tools and appliances. All that we used, including washer, dryer, air conditioner, coffee maker, etc. worked great. Andy immediately responded when we needed to contact him with a few questions. We appreciated the remote location which provided safety for our little people. To tell how much everyone liked it, when it was time to leave this utopia, our 9 year old grandson sadly asked if we were sure we couldn't afford to stay another week. We easily took side trips to the sand dunes, and Mackinaw Island. Costco, Sam's and Meijer's are easily reachable and we all made runs to one or the other for more food. We were told by a neighbor that a bear was sighted on the property three weeks prior to our stay, so we kept our eyes open hoping to be treated to such a sight, but it didn't happen--maybe because we didn't throw any fish into the dumpster! As you can probably deduct by now, we loved the resort, would definitely love to stay again, and we found Andy very easy to work with both before our stay when I emailed questions to him multiple times and when we were at the house and needed to talk to him. The only negative thing we could think of was that there is no boat, kayaks, or pontoon with the rental but as long as you know that ahead of time, there are places not too far away that do have them to rent.

About the host

Hosted by Owner / Property Manager

My favorite memories growing up were spending my summers in Northern Michigan. My wife Molly and I bought this home so our kids can experience the same. We hope by lending our home out to you as a guest you will be able to experience the same for your family and children.

Why they chose this property

There are so many reason I fell in love with this property. First of all, Bass Lake is a hidden Gem. This spring-fed, clean, clear sandy-bottom lake is what drew me in. The lake is peaceful and looks across at state land. To the south is approximately 30 acres of woods for that private feeling. The house sits just far enough from Traverse City that it enjoys a lack of light pollution, which allows for bright starry nights. However, being only 20 miles from Traverse City makes it convenient and easy to take a trip into town for nightlife, great restaurants, breweries and shopping.

What makes this property unique

The comments we get most is how awesome this property is for family get-together and for kids. The kids are constantly entertained rain or shine with the Foosball table, Ping pong table, Dart board and the Arcade Game Machine. The water level starts off shallow so it's perfect for little kids. The kids love the bunk room and parents love the fact that all the kids can sleep in the same room but with parents nearby. The property has a ton of updates that make it really comfortable. The home has newer roof, furnace, air-conditioner, stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops with farm sink and commercial faucet. The kitchen is huge with a ton of counter space. The hand crafted dinning table seats plenty along with Island bar stool seating for 5 more. There is also 3 large picnic tables
