About this property
Bass Lake waterfront! Close to Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Dunes!
Welcome to the Sweet Cherry! This cottage is part of a 1940s resort that has been updated. We have several cottages along 500 feet of Bass Lake water frontage. We love our little slice of heaven and you will, too! The cottage has two bedrooms (queen beds) and one bath with both washer and dryer. You would have your own private fire ring and access just outside your door to the water. If you don't like dogs, this property is probably not for you. We have doodles that frequent the trails and the beach. They will want to come and say hi at some point, guaranteed! We are located about 10 minutes to Traverse City where you can enjoy all sorts of fun! We are a foody town and we have festivals galore all summer long. We are also a short 30 minutes to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park where you can hike and sightsee to your heart's content. We have 4 (2 adult, 2 child) kayaks, 2 paddle boards, a canoe and I could round up more if needed. I am around if needed, but I won't be in your way if not. We have a strict 4 person maximum, but we do have three other cottages on the same beach that may be open when you want to stay, so if you are hoping to travel with friends or family, let me know and I'll check availability.

Its a wonderful little cabin, clean and cozy. We spent most of our time sitting outside enjoying the view of the lake and how quiet and peaceful it was. I'm looking forward to staying there again in the future.
Great little cottage on the lake. Good location to downtown traverse city. The kayaks, canoe, paddle board, etc offered by the home was a huge plus to make lake usage easy. Great place to stay, would absolutely come back.
It was a cute house right on the water for a weekend stay. The kitchen was stocked and plenty of TP and paper towel. We enjoyed the beds - super soft. The path down to the fire pit was a little rough if you had littles or were unstable on your feet, but it was a great location. Would definitely book here again.
Great property, location, and host! Bass lake was perfect for relaxing and kayaking with minimal speed racers on the water and the fireworks display on 4th was excellent.

Thanks, Tim! So glad to hear you had a great time on Bass Lake!!
Cottage was clean and the lake view was nice. The kayaks, paddle boards, and canoe that were provided were nice and we utilized those to explore the lake. There was no central air conditioning for the unit, however, there was a portable air conditioner in the main space. The bedrooms did get a little warm and we utilized the fans provided to circulate the air conditioning. The strike plates on the doors were not properly installed and made the doors hard to open. The hosts were exceptionally nice and friendly. The location of the cabin was nice and close to everything that we wanted to see. Overall, our experience was a very pleasant one and we would utilize this cabin again.
We came for a wedding in the area and had a fantastic stay. The location & Lake were very quiet. Kayaking, a beach bonfire and friends that stayed a couple cabins down made the weekend even better! Cute cabin with all the essentials. We’d totally stay there again.
We had the best stay. Our cottage was incredibly quaint and clean and just lovely. The lake was beautiful and serene...the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. Incidentally our host was lovely too...thanks Jody for an amazing time!!

Awwww! Thanks so much! Loved having you as guests!
Really enjoyed my stay. Close to downtown Traverse City but nestled in the woods where it was quiet. Cabin was clean and had everything I needed. Would definitely stay here again.
Had a great stay at the cherry lake cottage, about 15 min from town but right on the water, Jody was wonderful & fast at responding to any questions we had
Everything was perfect for our time there. It was beautiful looking out onto the lake. The other cottages next to ours were empty so we enjoyed the privacy and quiet. Kitchen was well stocked for the two of us.
