Vintage Artsy Lake Cottage with Island Views
This colorful vintage cottage located on quiet Bass Lake, features vintage charm with an open kitchen to one of the two living rooms. The lakeside living room features a commanding patio view of the lake and its islands. Hanging outdoors is easy and relaxing with the tranquil hilltop vista. The bathroom features a large, easy step in shower & a generous vanity top. The lower level covered balcony has a porch swing and high top chairs to enjoy the view, whatever the weather. A fire pit/ sand box to wiggle your toes in completes the lakeside beach experience with plenty of yard furniture and a picnic table. Colorful rooms with art & artsy accents with the historical touches of vintage wood paneling and beamed ceiling add to the charm! Fully equipped kitchen, Gas BBQ grill and ROKU TV and free WiFi included. There is fire pit/sandbox and a lakeside dock, a sandy shore, 3-seat canoe, kayak and a jon boat with oars. Just 15 minutes from downtown Traverse City, this is a great base location for day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan, Interlochen Arts Academy and Wine, Beer & Cider touring in the Leelanau & Old Mission peninsulas. Getting around to visit the region's spectacular attractions is easy as cherry pie!

About the host
Hosted by Nadeen Kieren
Traverse City and Bass Lake has been our home away from home for decades. We love our time up north & we especially appreciate the natural & tranquil setting of Bass Lake. We care about design, art, color and history and of course, nature!
Why they chose this property
The hilltop view of the lake offers a unique perspective of Bass Lake, its 4 islands and its wildlife activity. With the call of the loons you might even think you are up in the Canadian wilderness! The cottage offers multiple spaces to enjoy with a variety of unique rooms & views. The rooms are colorful with comfortable decor and a Key West kind of vibe. The lake offers peaceful views & fishing for those so inclined. Less than 15 minutes from charming downtown Traverse City makes this a great base camp for all the area attractions.
