Great little cottage. Perfect size for me and my husband! Bunk beds for four children if you have a family. Right on the lake, enjoyed taking the paddle boat around the lake. Very peaceful and relaxing. Great hosts.

We had a wonderful visit at this cabin. Owners are very accommodating, property is very clean, and lake was quiet and peaceful. The cabin was well stocked with everything you would need and the cabin itself is beautifully decorated and well taken care of. We will definitely be booking here again. Checking in and out was also as smooth as it get’s.

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!

Family vacation

The only thing I can complain about is that there was no sandy beach like the picture had posted and my kids were really looking forward to using the swim platform that was in the picture as well and that was not available to use. Overall house was nicely decorated and the lake was beautiful! the kids had a lot of fun catching fish minus all the goose poop.

Hello Leigha; The lack of sand at the waters edge is due to the EXTREME storms we’ve experienced this year changing the landscape… it’s not practical to visit once a week to update property pictures including amount of sand? Our pictures include not just OUR property but several views of the beautiful lake & its landscape. As far as the wildlife visiting, that’s unfortunate they left some droppings. It saddens me that your review is focused on nature that’s out of our control. However thankfully your vacation was a huge success:)

Perfect relaxation getaway

This is an adorable cottage on a really nice lake where the fishing was amazing! It was very clean and comfortable, and the lake was remarkably quiet for Labor Day Weekend!! We paddle boated around and caught lake trout all day, all weekend long. I highly recommend this rental and the owners are genuinely delightful.

Gorgeous and modern/rustic cottage

This cottage was beautifully set on Bass Lake in a very quiet and peaceful setting. Even though the weather was a bit chilly for June, my 10 year old son loved swimming in the lake and I enjoyed the sun on the beach. Very close to downtown Tawas and all the fun the area has to offer. We will definitely be back! Thanks for having us 😊

Lovely Cottage on the Lake

Everything was just perfect for our stay. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. The cottage was cozy and done up to a T. The property was well cared for and the pictures do not do it just. The beach area was clean and the best place for star gazing. We enjoyed having a bonfire in a safe and picturesque setting. The deck off the back of the cottage was the best spot to enjoy the morning coffee and the views of the lake. You won’t be disappointed in this place:)

Great Stay!

The property was in excellent condition. Clean and welcoming. Many items available for use - cooking utensils, dishware, etc. The host was very accommodating and available during our stay. The only recommendation I would make is maybe a full size fridge. We only stayed two nights, so it was adequate for us, but if we were staying a full week, it would be difficult to fit a week's worth of food in there.
