This property is at a great location, right on the Bass Lake, and Lake Michigan is just across the street. The local property manager, Tabitha, is awesome, very responsive and helpful. The beds are comfortable. The dinnerware is plastic and minimalistic; it would have been much better to have real dinnerware. But, all in all we had a good stay.

We really loved this place!
This house felt very scluded, yet was really close to town and little shops when u felt like getting out to explore. The lake veiw right outside the kitchen and living room was amazing. We really loved it because we like to bird watch and there was plenty of them hanging out on the water. We had an issue with the back porch light the very first night and they came right out and changed the bulbs for us. Tabitha is very sweet and easy to get ahold of. The house was very clean and cozy and the hot tub was really nice to relax in before curling up and watching a movie. We hope to be back in the summer when we can use the beach and hang out outside more.

We had a great time. Great location, pretty fall foliage, nice house, close to Traverse City, Poteskey and Leelanau Michigan. Oh yeah, Shorts Brewery in walking distance. Kayaking was fun. We would do this location again. Thanks much in making our trip a success.
