Why the Owner Chose Traverse City
I grew up spending the summers on Bass Lake one cottage down from my rental. When this cottage came up for sale, I felt it was my destiny to buy it. Now I'm able to share the peace and serenity of the area with my renters. Close to Traverse, yet private, it a perfect place for a family vacation.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
Boones Long Lake Inn, the Sand Dunes, The Old Mission and Grand Traverse Lighthouses, fall photography tours, the Cherry Festival, and the Michael Moore film festival.
All the wineries are here up on the peninsula, you can spend a day of wine and cheese viewing both bays, don't forget the Old Mission Lighthouse on the 45th parallel - half way between the equator and
Owner's Map of Traverse City
My name is Bob Kauffman. I have been a life long Bass Lake resident during the summer months. I enjoy taking summer weekends and spending our vacation in my new cottage. It is located next to the one where I spent my summers of my youth. Now I am able to share it with you.
