This Cottage is adorable! Very well stocked, clean, and functional. We were here for 5 days and used the kitchen daily. We used the outdoor grill, we used the large deck a lot, and it has a beautiful view of the lake.....and because it was so comfortable here, we stayed put a lot and enjoyed the property. But we did travel around some and there are beautiful national forests, Lake Huron, and many places in nature to visit within a short drive. There is also an adorable downtown area in Tawas that we enjoyed. We are outdoor people and spent the majority of our time outside while here. While at the cabin we also used the paddle boat and the kayaks. Great fishing! The property is tucked away in a good location, and the lake is very quiet. Even though there are houses we only saw a couple of pontoons and speed boats etc....mostly we had the lake to ourselves in July! The lake is not great to swim in unless you get to the middle. So we saved our swimming for the local sandy beaches and Lake Huron, all close by (there is a national forest nearby (3 min drive) with great trails and great swimming spots that are sandy and clean). But we used Bass Lake for fishing, kayaking, and paddle boating and it was perfect. The owners were very easy to communicate with and we had no issues there. Overall a great property and we would visit again!
