    The Hall Family ,
    • We enjoyed a wonderful fall weekend at this property. We loved paddling around the lake in the provided canoe. The woodburning stove was a cozy treat after a cool afternoon hike. The house itself was spacious and very well-equipped. We would recommend this house to others.

    • Thank you for sharing your beautiful "home" on Big Bass Lake. We just returned from a wonderful weekend and the cottage is a truly gorgeous retreat in the woods. A friend from neighboring Loon Lake put his pontoon boat in at the boat launch for us to use and our son brought his boat and the dock held fast. And although the fish were on the small side we caught several. We especially enjoyed the screened porch and all the privacy. A beautiful place!! Thanks again and hopefully you'll allow us to come again next year.

    • We had a wonderful time! The house was nice and clean, with enough room for our family. We loved the screened in porch and the nightly campfires. The lake was a lot of fun for our boating, also. Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

    • This was the perfect house for our family vacation! It was spacious, clean and private. We enjoyed fishing, canoeing and a nightly campfire. We took day trips to Ludington, Sand Lake, and the Little Manistee. Thanks for a great week!

    • This cottage had everything anyone need except your own personal things. The lake in front needs to have the weeds taken care & a new dock but otherwise it was a very nice vacation.

      Homeowner Response:
      Vivian, we are completely re-building the dock for next season, it has been repaired at the moment. jeff

    • My girlfiends and I take a yearly trip to a lake. This was a great house and we loved the lake, but the dock was kind of scary. It is need of repair. Other then that it was a wonderful place to rent

      Homeowner Response:
      Ladies, we have repaired the scary dock and hope to have a NEW one next season!!

    • We loved this house on Big Bass Lake. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived, and had all the amenities of home. We loved sitting on the screen porch and enjoying the outdoors with no bugs. It was nice that the house is surrounded by so many trees, and while the house is on the lake, it's not visible from the lake (i.e., lots of privacy). We went fishing and used the canoe a LOT. The lake was really warm, especially for June. In general, the house was amazing, and we're planning on going again next year!
