Perfect Lake Cottage

Loved the lake, loved the cottage. Perfect, relaxing stay for our family of four. Spent a lot of time on the water and around the fire pit. Location was very convenient for getting to various Traverse City spots. Hosts were wonderful.

Living the Dream

Our family had an amazing time at the Artsy lake cottage. We felt right at home minus the gorgeous views from the large windows looking out at Bass Lake. The kids and I enjoyed fishing and my wife enjoyed kayaking and reading. Thom and Nadeen were so nice and helpful. Northern Michigan is a great vacation destination.

About the host

Hosted by Nadeen Kieren

Traverse City and Bass Lake has been our home away from home for decades. We love our time up north & we especially appreciate the natural & tranquil setting of Bass Lake. We care about design, art, color and history and of course, nature!

Why they chose this property

The hilltop view of the lake offers a unique perspective of Bass Lake, its 4 islands and its wildlife activity. With the call of the loons you might even think you are up in the Canadian wilderness! The cottage offers multiple spaces to enjoy with a variety of unique rooms & views. The rooms are colorful with comfortable decor and a Key West kind of vibe. The lake offers peaceful views & fishing for those so inclined. Less than 15 minutes from charming downtown Traverse City makes this a great base camp for all the area attractions.
