The house was okay I wish I wouldâve been told about the ants it was really disgusting. I also ask someone that had called me to check in with us for a rack to clean the yard that is full of goose poop. Never got a call back. For as much as it cost I thought it wouldâve been better.
This was an excellent location for a family vacation. Close to summer camps, Moomerâs Ice Cream, Traverse City and many lakeside activities and destinations. Some things that might be taken into consideration by housekeeping when there is a full house staying for a long durationâŠAlthough plenty of bath towels were provided, it was skimpy on washcloths, kitchen towels and silverware. It should also be known that the third bedroom is more of an add-on. Its âclosetâ houses the water heater and/or water softener. At night, it often casts a red light and makes loud noises.The 3rd bedroom is not recommended for someone over 6 ft tall. The ceilings are very low. It also had spotty WiFi and poor or no TV reception.Nonetheless, a good time was had and fond memories were made. The house was enjoyed by all, especially those who were not so tall.
The house is pretty much as advertised. Nothing luxurious but everything you need for a house on a lake! Itâs close enough to town but remote enough to âget awayâ. We did have some issues that were reported during our stay:The house wasnât totally clean upon arrival. The kitchen floor had crumbs and sticky residue. There was trash under several beds and bathroom vanities. They did send a clean up crew to pick up the trash and clean the kitchen floor again. The washing machine left orange/rust colored stains on several pieces of clothing which we still canât remove after traveling home and using multiple stain removers, etc,The ice dispenser didnât work and you couldnât manually get ice.The front door keypad didnât light up/lock and started beeping constantly by the last day.We had to handwash almost every single dish we used as nothing was cleaned properly.There was visible dust/sand under pool table and other furniture.We had young kids and they enjoyed the paddle boat and the toys on the beach. Adult and child life jackets were also included (not infant).Plenty of space for 8 people!
Beautiful home and surrounding area. The area got snow during our stay which only enhanced the ambience. Definitely recommend and would not hesitate to book again!
We all had fun in the play room. Kitchen was stocked well. Beds were comfy. Plenty of room for a family vacation.
One of the showers leaked so that should be addressed.
Overall a great place.
Sunrise and sunset were beautiful from the large window in the living area. Having the kayak was a nice plus for us. The property management group were simply Awesome. I called with questions several time and they were always helpful and responsive.
Our family weekend of 8 adults and 1 grandchild(4 yrs) fit very comfortably into the home. We enjoyed waking up to the sounds and view of the lake. The upper pool/entertainment room and kitchen were great for us all to gather. Great location for venturing out too.

This is a lovely home on Bass Lake. The view from the living room is wonderful. We didn't even turn the tv on during our stay. Sitting on the deck for morning coffee was calm and quiet. Lots of wildlife to watch. The bedrooms on the lower level had trouble connecting to wifi. But overall our stay was great!
The property was perfectly set up for my 3 adult sons and their significant others/friends. The pool table in the upper level family room is perfect! The views of the lake were a huge bonus. Huge accommodating kitchen for all 10 of us for games and dining.
We had such a fun time staying at Smores fun. Our group came up for a soccer tournament, the kids had a blast being able to play outside, had space inside to play, and enjoyed the ping pong/Foosball/pool tables. The house was clean and well set up for our stay. Close drive to town and restaurants. Would recommend and will also look into it next time we're in town. Thank you!
Property was nice. The only thing I would say is the stairs are not great, a few in our family slipped on the stairs. We were in town for a wedding so only had a short stay.

Overall very enjoyable, great location and nice property. We would definitely consider returning.
Had a blast for New Years. Only one hint that could have been better is if Michigan would have won the football game, but still 5 stars. Would definitely go back again. Go blue.

We have stayed at Smore fun before and were excited to be coming back. You didn't let us down. The kids enjoyed the sand and playing in the water with the tubes and kayak. We all had a great relaxed vacation. Even the weather was great! we will recommend you to anyone who we know is headed to traverse City !
Beautiful setting and plenty of toys for the lake; everything was great except place could've been cleaner. Bathrooms and kitchen were fine but floor was filthy. Ended up buying a Swiffer and dusted and mopped floors in kitchen and living room. Also used vacuum cleaner. It was evident that cleaning crew had not done the floors prior to our arrival.
Absolutely wonderful. The home and location was perfect.

Up North Vacation Rental staff were the best. They made the stay here seamless. The house was in pristine condition and afforded the entire family room to rest and relax. This particular house was a stone's throw away from Traverse City, Sleepy Bear Dunes Park, Sutton Bay and all the other small towns that make this area surreal. I would highly recommend renting from Up North as the staff is most professional on all levels. I would highly recommend renting from this service....you will not be disappointed.
The lady across the street threatened my daughter with her pit bull our âŠdogs were on leashes after they accidentally ran in her yard once she said she called the police and animal controll she scared my daughters and the dogs

the house had not been cleaned very well. There was stuff in the sink strainers, we found dust bunnies all around, spills on the stove, a hair clip on the floor in one of the bedrooms and a packet of sleeping pills by the nightstand and hair in the shower drain in the large bedroom.Also the access to TV left much to be desired. That all said we really enjoyed the house and the location and all the water toys
