This cottage is absolutely beautiful and the scenery was exceptional! We were only a few minutes from local restaurants and a short drive to Traverse City for entertainment. The cottage is spacious and comfortable and we consider this experience one of our best vacations ever. The view of the lake behind the house was one of our favorite memories, also. We were very fortunate to stay in this cottage for our winter getaway! You will be very pleased with the accommodations that are geared toward families looking for a home away from home. 5 Stars!Recommended for: Age 55+, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, tourists without a car.

It was a great choice to stay here. Home is very clean and cozy. We felt very comfortable and the home easily accommodates 4 adults as well as children. The lake was nice for taking a quick ride around in the row boat or canoe and the location is perfect for Lake Michigan and Elk Rapids. We all had a great time and the kids enjoyed playing with the toys in kids room.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing.

The Lazy Bass Cottage was everything we expected and more. There were games, boats, a really nice screened-in porch with lights and an outdoor grilling area, chairs by the water, books, children's video systems....everything needed to relax! It is a beautiful house by the water. Wonderful vacation spot. Perfect.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing.

All of us enjoyed our stay at the Bass Lake Cottage this September! Everything was comfy and cozy and we found everything we needed readily available. The view was gorgeous in the mornings as the sun came up and shone across the lake. We were there to site-see on our motorcycles so we didn't get an opportunity to get out on the lake either in the canoe or rowboat, but are eagerly anticipating including that on a future visit, as we plan to come again! Thanks David and Jillian for a great get-away!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, tourists without a car.

Clean, well kept, right on the lake that the kids play in during the day and I fished in during the early morning and evening. It is close to everything yet secluded in the trees. I highly recommend this cottage for an unforgettable summer vacation.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2
