About this property
The Bass Lake Lodge - Traverse City's year-round slice of lake life Heaven!
Welcome to the Bass Lake Lodge! Where you will find the beauty of a quiet lake and amenities to make you feel like you are at home.
The Bass Lake Lodge is located on Bass Lake six miles outside of Traverse City. Bass Lake is a small, spring-fed lake that is nestled between Silver Lake and Long Lake. It is a 343 acre all sports lake which offers a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. It also offers beautiful fall colors!
There are five islands on the lake, each one making it more unique. There is a small public beach and boat launch which is located one mile away from the house. The south end of the lake is surrounded by State Lands and an adventure camp, which offers a nice spot for fishing. There is lots of wildlife in, on and around the water; each year we see a pair of loons that nest nearby on the lake. And, the lake is also home to a majestic bald eagle!
Pets are NOT allowed and No Smoking inside the rental.
The Bass Lake Lodge is centrally located; six miles to Traverse City and seven miles to Interlochen. (Interlochen is home to the Interlochen Center for the Arts National Music Camp.)
The Bass Lake Lodge is 1,350 square feet and is filled with knotty pine paneling and tongue and groove boards throughout the home, which gives it a beautiful 'cabin' feeling. It has carpet, limestone and porcelain tile throughout.
There are three bedrooms, one bathroom, a large kitchen and dining area, laundry room and a living room that overlooks the lake, with a beautiful gas fireplace. There is a large deck on the lakeside of the home. Plenty of room to grill (both gas and charcoal grills are provided for your use), eat, read a book, play games and relax.
~ The home boasts a custom kitchen; offering hickory cabinets (filled with everything imaginable to make cooking meals a breeze), all appliances including a full size (with an icemaker and water dispenser) and a dishwasher. The porcelain floor tile accentuates the coordinating countertop and backsplash - which give you lots of room for preparing food.
~ The home has a gas fireplace. *One click of a switch and you can enjoy a cozy fire while viewing the beautiful scenery outdoors through one of the many windows facing the lake.
~ The large (14' x 36') PVC deck overlooks the lake. It is a perfect place to sit and enjoy the AMAZING sunrises on the lake. The stairs are lit for your safety when it is dark outside.
~ To keep the area private; a beautiful row of trees/shrubs exist on the property line..
The home also has a laundry room with commercial size washer and dryer. And, there is also private WIFI at the rental at no extra charge.
The landscape of the home has soft grass and lots of flowers (summertime). A bonfire pit is located near the water and is surrounded by a large concrete patio. (Firewood is provided for your convenience.) There is a 4' x 40' non slip dock with a 8' x 16' patio on the water. The rental includes the use of a row boat, kayaks and paddle board (summertime only). Life jackets are provided for your safety.
Come to The Bass Lake Lodge to relax and enjoy beautiful Northern Michigan.

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer
I am an original vacation rental 'owner' on Bass Lake! I have been renting out this home for over 20 years as a vacation property, it is the only property that I have, and it is my pride and joy! Along with my husband, we have done many renovations to the home and property over the years. It is modern but with a cottage feeling.
The neighborhood is definitely the place to be! I refer to it as my own little piece of Heaven. Most of the residents in the area have been here for quite some time. It is located off of the 'beaten path' but is still close to everything!
I have put a lot of thought into the rental with the intention of making your vacation as easy and enjoyable for you as possible. From linens to everything you might need in the kitchen as well as firewood and life vests are just a few of the no charge extras that I provide. It is exactly as it is advertised, no surprises! Should a problem or question arise, we reside across the street from the rental and are always a phone call away. You will never have to deal with a rental manager or agency. Previous guests have thanked me and provided me many flattering comments about The Bass Lake Lodge. Please review my "comments" from previous guests to see how truly special it really is.
I hope you will be as excited to vacation at The Bass Lake Lodge as I am to live in this wonderful area!

Why they chose this property
Originally built by my Father and Grandfather, the home has been part of my family for many years. Over that time, it has been remodeled and reflects all the creature comforts for you to enjoy.
I grew up down the street from the home, then resided in it for several years until a job transfer moved me out of town. At which time I turned it into a vacation rental. Since then, I have moved back and now live across the street from the rental.
Bass Lake is a wonderful, quiet lake. (Mostly pontoon boats, fishing boats and kayakers.) The home has a great view to the east; looking at Kennard Island. The sunrises are nothing short of amazing!
The Bass Lake Lodge offers many amenities that other rentals do not offer; free firewood for bonfires, rowboat and kayaks for use on the lake, no 'added fees' for cleaning, taxes, etc..., beautifully landscaped with lots of flowers and trees, privacy, easily accessible, paved/private parking and an owner who is very committed to making your vacation the best one ever!

What makes this property unique
The Bass Lake Lodge is in a quiet, friendly neighborhood that is conveniently located to Traverse City, Interlochen and many other area attractions. It is set on a 343 acre, all sports lake which offers great fishing, beautiful views and lots of wildlife. The rental is filled with lots of extra amenities that will make your vacation that much better! The rental has a fantastic view of the sunrise as well. And, I live nearby in case you need anything special.
