We had the pleasure of staying for a week at Lakeside Way in September 2025. The home was spotless, inside and out. The kitchen was fully stocked, Sean even went as far as supplying us with basic kitchen and bath needs (hand soap, dish soap, garbage bags, aluminum foil, etc.). The location of the home was fantastic! It is located at the end of a private street, off of Bass Lake, and only 15 minutes from Traverse City (the best of both worlds). The lake water is so clean that you can actually see the bottom of the lake. The host provided lots of amenities, such as a kite board, canoe, paddle board, and kayaks. We also enjoyed the in-house sauna. We are grateful that the host was kind enough to share his lovely home with us. We plan on having another family reunion next year, and we will return to Lakeside Way!

Kids loved it!

The inside isn’t anything flashy, but is clean and as pictured. We loved the beach and the kids had a blast with the paddle board and other water toys. About 8-10 feet off the beach is becomes soft bottomed so you really had to float on something, but other than that it was perfect. Good location to get to other things to do also. The hosts were incredibly nice and helpful as well, made us feel very welcome. We had a great time!

Great getaway

Our second stay at bass lake was even better than the first one which was great. There is now a pontoon available to rent which makes it very convenient. The house has everything you could possibly need. Sunsets on the lake are beautiful. And the massage chair is a real nice touch. Thanks Sean, will see you again.

We absolutely loved our stay at this wonderful cottage. It was very close to Traverse City and it was on the peaceful bass lake. The Cottage itself for spotless and Full of everything you needed for enjoyable day. The Cottage had pontoon boat, kayaks, paddle boat and paddleboard. We couldn't have asked for more! Sean was really easy to reach and answered our calls we had any problems. Will will absolutely be coming to the cottage again! We had a great time!

Beautiful lake house

We loved everything about this property. It had just about everything we could have wanted for a peaceful week on the lake. The kayaks, paddleboard, canoe, and pedal boat were great to have available. We loved the various out-door seats to relax in, and the deck was great for chilling and enjoying some family meals. The property is well-maintained and obviously cared for!

A perfect experience

We stayed at "Lake House" with small group aged 9-85. Everyone loved our stay. The house is clean, comfortable, and exceptionally well-stocked. Sean is an excellent host who communicated with us extremely well. He clearly loves the house and works hard to provide a first-rate experience for his guests. Thanks Sean! I'm pretty sure you'll see us again.

Great week on Bass Lake!

Our stay at Bass Lake was great overall. The place is clean, well stocked with necessities and has an amazing lake view. I will mention that this lake isn’t a swimming lake as the bottom is super soft, but the fishing, kayaking and pontoon trips made up for it! A great week!

Peaceful lake and great cottage

We loved our stay and will definitely look into staying here again. The host Sean provides everything needed to enjoy this peaceful piece of paradise. Our 2 year old grandson enjoyed playing on the beach and catching his first fish from the dock while mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa took turns using the kayaks, peddle boat, paddle board, or relaxing in the sun or shade with our 2 month old grandson. This is what you think of when you’re thinking “Up North” Michigan.

Hidden Gem!

My best friend and I took our Mom's to Traverse City for a week of adventure. This house was a piece of paradise; cozy and felt like home. The waterfront view alone was worth it but add in a cozy fireplace, plethora of extra supplies (towels, TP, etc), lovely neighbors and a quiet location to take it to the next level! Everything we wanted to do was a short 15-40 min away. Our favorites were the nearby alpaca farm (Rainbow Valley Family Farm), exploring the peninsula (lighthouse, visiting the Blacksmith and local wineries), restaurants, the lavender farm and Big Bear park. As a disabled individual, I especially appreciated the first floor bedroom and bathroom that included a walk in shower retrofitted with grab bars and a small seated option in the corner. We were so pleased with this rental and more importantly, the contributions it made to our once in a lifetime memories that will be cherished forever! Thank you so much! Hoping this gem doesn't book up before we can rent again next year.

Beautiful lake view. All family members loved taking the kayaks and peddle boat around the islands - even in September! Wonderful deck for dinner and watching the sunsets. The house had plenty of bedrooms and comfy living area. The kitchen is well equipped. Easy communication with Sean, the owner. We definitely would rent this property again.
