About this property

Peaceful Traverse City Lake House. Kayaks,canoe,fireplace, Sauna July-Aug avail.

A hidden gem on beautiful Bass Lake minutes from downtown Traverse City. Nestled in a quiet cove on a dead end road with amazing sunsets for that true peaceful up north getaway experience. It is a 2 level home with 3 bedrooms, 1-3/4 baths, sauna, and 2 car garage.
The main level of this house features the living room and kitchen / dining area. This space has amazing lake views. Full kitchen with dishwasher offers everything you need to prepare meals. The main level also has a bedroom with a queen bed and a sauna room attached. In the sauna room there is a sauna and sitting area which has a single hida-bed with a large patio right outside.
For mobility challenged quests, there is a ramp into the home with a main floor bedroom and bathroom equipped with grab bars. The tile shower has a bench but the bathroom is not wheelchair accessible, it does however offer some safety features (grab bars).
There are Flat screen televisions with cable in every bedroom. High speed internet (300 mbps), and WiFi are provided. There is a washer and dryer that are you’re free to use as well.
Bass lake is an all sports lake but is very quiet which makes it especially great for fishing, kayaking, and pontooning. There are 2 kayaks, a paddle board, a paddle boat, and a canoe on site for you to use. Go fishing, swimming, or just float around (it is a soft bottom lake).
This location is only 10 minutes to the downtown area where there is plenty of shopping and dining. Go to one of the many wineries or even on one of the wine tastings. Craft beer has really blown up in the area and there are many breweries and flavors to choose from. There are air balloon rides, parasailing, and sailing cruises. Interlochen center for the arts is close by along with many other various nature trails and parks. This area has so much to offer.

Wonderful Getaway
Cottage was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Large yard offered several seating areas including fire pit, swing by water, deck with table and patio outside of sauna. Fishing was great. Location was perfect, quiet yet close to restaurants and TC. Will definitely consider a return rental.

Great week on Bass Lake!
Our stay at Bass Lake was great overall. The place is clean, well stocked with necessities and has an amazing lake view. I will mention that this lake isn’t a swimming lake as the bottom is super soft, but the fishing, kayaking and pontoon trips made up for it! A great week!

Peaceful lake and great cottage
We loved our stay and will definitely look into staying here again. The host Sean provides everything needed to enjoy this peaceful piece of paradise. Our 2 year old grandson enjoyed playing on the beach and catching his first fish from the dock while mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa took turns using the kayaks, peddle boat, paddle board, or relaxing in the sun or shade with our 2 month old grandson. This is what you think of when you’re thinking “Up North” Michigan.

About the host

Host profile image
My name is Sean and I was born and raised in Traverse City. I Have worked at a local construction companies as a draftsman for over 23years.

Why they chose this property

I was born and raised in this house and love the area. My parents built it in 1974 and my mom lived here till just a few years ago. This house was her heart and soul and she loved improving it over the years and sharing it with people.

What makes this property unique

The property is off the beaten path yet still close to everything town has to offer (8 miles to down town Traverse City). The sunsets are amazing, and the lake is perfect for fishing, kayaking or paddling around. With 2 kayaks, a paddle board, canoe, and a paddle boat to use it’s adds to the up north experience.
