Surrounded by lake in front of house and in back- beautiful lake views. Clean and well equipped. Perfect set up for a group. Rooms spacious and loved the back sunroom overlooking lake. We arrived to a wonderful welcome gift of local coffee, cinnamon toast, UP chocolate bars- and a six pack of a local ale. Hope to come back again during the summer this time.

This is a beautiful home full of personal touches to make anyone’s stay perfect! Communication was excellent. The home was clean and cohesive. Awesome place to enjoy the beautiful Bass Lake. My family had a lot of fun fishing and kayaking. Wish we had more time at the house but were in the area for our daughter’s wedding so we’re gone quite a bit. Definitely would love to come back.

The deck is amazing, plenty of room to live outside. The water is very accessible with minimum stairs and hand railing. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Wonderful Upper Peninsula Experience

We loved this house. It was lovely, clean, comfortable, in a quiet location on a beautiful lake. We enjoyed fishing in the lake. The house is close enough to Marquette that we were able to enjoy the Pictured Rocks boat tour and take advantage of dinners in some of the great restaurants in Marquette. Wonderful vacation!

Snowmobile Trip

The property worked great for our snowmobile group. The host was amazing and responded to our last minute request to stay and also made arrangements for parking our trucks and trailers nearby in a secure area. The sleeping accommodations met our needs, although ttwo of the rooms lacked good heating for winter lodging

Perfect Calm

This hidden gem was the perfect retreat for our busy family to unwind and reconnect. We took in all the amazing features of the home and also the beautiful lake we were surrounded by. It was close enough to Gwinn that a quick trip for food or pizza was easy (and delicious). It was the reset we needed after a very busy school year.

Great for all seasons!

We stayed in this house during the winter and it was spectacular! We were able to ice skate on the frozen lake and drink hot chocolate by the fire place. But the house has everything you need for the summer! It is also very well stocked if you like to cook. The house was absolutely perfect for our family of 8! Looking forward to coming next summer!

Wonderful Stay

This place was amazing with the water on both sides. It offered something for everyone in our group kyaking, fishing, bonfires. Parking was a bit tight as we had four trucks and trailers with side by sides but we were able to make it work. We had a wonderful time riding the trails during the day and hanging out playing cards and sitting around the campfire at night.

This house was perfect for our needs. I especially loved the sun room off the back. I could sit outside and enjoy sitting on the deck which is super close to the to the lake, but still feel part of whatever was going on in the house. They provide everything you could need: fishing poles, floats for the lake, linens, beach towels, bath towels, bikes, pots, pans, a grill, kayaks, a SUP, a paddle boat, life jackets, etc. My son caught a 27 in pike fishing off a kayak. The kitchen was extremely well stocked compared to other places we've rented. Close town and centrally located for day trips to Marquette, Munsing, etc. They even had a pontoon available to rent for an extra fee. Already booked our stay for next year!
