Beautiful Retreat!

This property was absolutely amazing and one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. From the property to the accommodation to the owners everything was amazing from beginning to end. The trip was more than relaxing and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. It is well worth the trip!

Everything we needed was there and convenient. The porch was great and easily accessible (mobility issues). We saw an eagle 2 times. The lake was beautiful and clean. Loved how peaceful and quiet in the evenings. Thank you much. Mike and Maureen

Bass Lake

Very clean and cozy cabin. Perfect size for us. Owners were very responsive to questions and check in inquiries. Our stay was during the week so it felt like we had the lake to ourselves. Will definitely look to stay again.

Amazing views on Bass Lake 💙

We love spending time on Bass Lake! Bald eagles, loons, orioles, whip-poor-wills. Nature at its best, and a beautiful place to relax and decompress.

Great home base for our hunting trip

We never really saw it in the daylight but it was welcoming, clean and very functional. Slept well each night. Heard a wolf howling in the distance one night too. Communication was very good.

A Great Week in the UP

We have stayed in 15+ rentals in the UP and this has been our favorite. The lake offers good swimming, paddling and fishing plus the area two tracks were nice for family mountain biking. The house, while it appears small from the outside, has a very nice layout inside. All the essentials were included and the remodled kitchen is very nice. The location is somewhat remote but Gwinn is 15 minutes away and has a decent grocery store and good pizza (highly recommend Mozzi pizza). Marquette is roughly 40 minutes away depending on the route you choose. We do hope to stay here again!

Every year we have an amazing time. Peaceful, clean, neat and tidy and completely as advertised. Would highly recommend this property to anyone. Centrally located so access to Munising, Marquette and Escanaba is easy, if so inclined to take a road trip.

Never A Bad Day On Bass Lake

We love spending our annual vacation each year on Bass Lake. The cabin is fully stocked with everything that you could possibly need. The kitchen update is beautiful and even includes a dishwasher! Thank you for offering the use of the cabin to all who wish to experience a sauna, listening to and watching the loons, seeing the bald eagles dive for fish right in front of the cabin. We are already looking forward to our next visit in 2023. Thank you, Pete and Shane, for your hospitality!
