Leaning Pine: A Quiet Lakefront Cottage

(Permit: PSTR 24-043)
Charming Leaning Pine cottage on Bass Lake with sunset views, just minutes from Interlochen Center for the Arts. Two bedrooms. Sleeps two in the master and four in the guest or use our "bonus room" space. This home has been lovingly preserved and decorated to retain the 1950s lake cottage feel. Bass Lake is ideal for swimming, kayaking, fishing, or just quiet reflection. Public boat launch is straight across from us. Nicely wooded lot for that true "up north" feeling. Traverse City, Old Mission/Leelanau wineries, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Frankfort are each about a half-hour drive.

We've added a lovely bench swing that faces the lake, between two tall pines; sit there in the morning with coffee for a slow "wake-up" or in the evening with wine to enjoy the sunset.

"We really enjoyed our week at this rental. The lake is quiet and great for fishing and kayaking. With the row boat, kayaks, fishing poles and grill included you can start enjoying the lake and outdoors immediately. The lake is shallow and safe for kids and dogs to swim. The description and photos are exactly what you get, no dishonesty or deception. Everything was great." -Mark, Clarkston, MI

This place is comfy cozy!
Our family had a great 4 night stay at Leaning Pine. House is clean and amazingly decorated in mid century mod. We loved the decor! The neighborhood is quiet and secluded but still close to shopping. We found ourselves at Tom’s Grocery store a lot and just eating at the cottage every night. Lake views from home are amazing. We sat on the dock and watched the sunsets. Place is stocked with board games and puzzles. Rack-o and Sorry were our favorites! We used the wood burning fire place every night. This place is great for kids and is pet friendly. We plan on returning next year! Thanks for the great stay!

Lovely, peaceful, nostalgic
What a perfectly quintessential "Up North" lake cottage -- a gorgeous spot on a peaceful lake and a great mix of classic 50s nostalgia sprinkled with modern comforts. We left rested and rescharged after a couple of days of slowing the world down at this sweet little spot.

Great family getaway
Enjoyed fishing, kayaking, swimming off the dock. All three kids slept comfortably in the bunk bedroom. My daughters were delighted with the pink bathroom! The large windows gave wonderful views overlooking the lake. Furniture was comfortable with many seating options in the house and on the property. We took a day to visit sleeping bear dunes (only a 30 minute drive) but otherwise stayed at the house and enjoyed the lake. I was very satisfied with the comfort and cleanliness during our stay.

Restorative getaway
Sun, sand, starry skies and peaceful waters...ahhh. We relaxed and recharged from a hectic city summer every minute of our three-day stay here. Loved the retro feel and modern amenities of this comfortable, cozy, well-stocked and quiet home. Host was communicative and we appreciated the notes about nearby restaurants and attractions. Thank you for helping us make some great memories!

Lake Vacation
We had a wonderful stay at this cottage on Bass Lake. The cottage was clean and had a great sandy beachfront. We enjoyed using the rowboat and the raft. It was nice to have a cottage that would allow two dogs. They both had a great time playing fetch in the water. I would highly recommend renting this home if visiting the Interlochen area.
