Great property, location, and host! Bass lake was perfect for relaxing and kayaking with minimal speed racers on the water and the fireworks display on 4th was excellent.
We had an absolute blast staying in Traverse City. My family and I enjoyed paddle boarding, kayaking and swimming in Bass lake. The cabin was lovely, clean and well stocked with towels, soap, shampoo, and coffee. Staying at this place made me realize how awesome it is to have a washer and dryer!!! The airline lost our bag so we had to do laundry every day in order to have clean clothes. This place rocks!
Had a great stay at the cherry lake cottage, about 15 min from town but right on the water, Jody was wonderful & fast at responding to any questions we had
Really enjoyed my stay. Close to downtown Traverse City but nestled in the woods where it was quiet. Cabin was clean and had everything I needed. Would definitely stay here again.
It was a sweet, peaceful, comfortable and cozy place to stay. The location was perfect, the lake was very pretty and the host was fabulous. Excellent communication!
Everything was perfect for our time there. It was beautiful looking out onto the lake. The other cottages next to ours were empty so we enjoyed the privacy and quiet. Kitchen was well stocked for the two of us.
We had a great time at this adorable cottage! Jody was very helpful and even let us use her canoe and kayaks! Itâs about 20 mins from traverse city and on a very quiet lake. Our boys had a blast fishing and using the splash pad Jody had!
This little cottage was very cute and clean. The lake view is beautiful! We enjoyed kayaking and fishing on the lake. The property is conveniently situated so it is not a far drive to a lot of fabulous hikes, lakes, rivers, shops, restaurants, breweries and wineries.
This was the perfect cabin on the cutest lake for a short weekend trip with the hubs. We walked our kayaks down to the lake a few times over our trip and had a blast exploring. This is the perfect spot for some lazy kayaking. We were only a short drive to Bear Dunes and an equally close to Traverse City. We will definitely be staying here again
The cottage is clean and equipped with all essentials. We enjoyed the quiet lake front view, the fire pit. Also had fun canoeing. Check in and out is easy and self explanatory. Highly recommended!
This cottage was beautiful and cozy with spectacular views of bass lake from the couch. There is a sand bar we kayak to and enjoyed the summer sun. The fire pit was a wonderful way to end the summer night. Located 10 min away from Traverse City. Already booked another cabin for Labor day and bringing the kids. Jody was very helpful and quick responses with questions. A 10/10 experience!
Vacationed with my daughter and 2 exchange students from France. We had so much fun at this cottage. The lake is very clean and swimmable. The Kayaks and SUPs are great to have. We used them every day. The cottage is really cute and worked well for 4 people to eat, sleep, shower comfortably. Neighboring cottages were friendly, and evenings were quiet. I would happily return again to this cottage especially because it is super convenient to reach all there is to do in the area but tucked away from the crowds.
We had two small issues while we were there and the host couldn't have been nicer about them. She responded immediately with apologies and then had them fixed quickly.
Overall my wife, son and I had a great time. Location of the cottage to surrounding areas and attractions made the stay very enjoyable. The cottage was nice and well maintained with lots of privacy and immediate access to bass lake. The only two down sides we experienced were the water quality, which was slightly brown and tasted very metallic, which we overcame by using bottled water for drinking. Also we had a chipmunk that made several appearances leaving poop behind wherever he had been. All in all we enjoyed our stay and didnât let the few items effect our vacation.
Unfortunately it rained for most of trip, but that meant we spent a lot of time inside the cabin. It was small, but the perfect size for the four of us. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything I needed to cook and there were games to play. The tv was small, but we also watched a movie. The location was nice. We were about 10-15 minutes to many restaurants, downtown traverse city and about 30 minutes from the sand dunes. Wished we couldâve used the fire pit. It was right by the beach and wouldâve been great during the sunsets, but we did manage to use the kayaks even though it was drizzling and had fun. The owner Jody was quick to communicate and made sure we had everything we needed.
The Cottage is about 20 min from Traverse city. The directions were well explained and we did not have problems on finding it. The manager contacted us early by letting us know that the cottage was ready for use (before the check-in time) and instructions.
The management was very quick to response (we had an outlet problem, we would have never noticed if we wouldn`t try to turn the tv on, on our 3rd day of stay lol, but they fixed the problem fast). The cottage was well equipped (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom).
What I did not like were: the spider webs almost everywhere. Now I understand that with the lake`s humidity they kind of infest every space but is annoying to see them.
The bed covers looked not clean and stained. I brought my own sheets, a habit I have, but we had to use the covers because it got very cold at night.
We enjoyed the front lake view and the chairs in the early mornings. Even though we never used them, the boats were there ready to use too.
It was quiet and very pleasant.
We did not spend a lot of time at the cottage as we were mostly around, basically we only slept there, but was a nice experience overall.
