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

Lovely lake cabin

We loved our recent stay on Bass Lake in this adorable 1950's era cabin. It was the perfect place to visit family on nearby Green Lake and to rest, recreate and recharge -- with a great location near Interlochen, Traverse City and more. The hosts were kind and responsive and the neighbors friendly. We loved using the rowboat, kayaks and dock - especially visits from a mother duck and ducking and beautiful loons and woodpeckers.
We loved spending time on this "breezeway" room - reading and playing board games
Loved spending time on the dock and paddling!
The sunsets over Bass Lake were gorgeous!

Unreal northern paradise wish I could keep it secret

We had an unreal time fishing and boating, letting the pup swim, kind neighbors but quiet, great location. Very aesthetically pleasing and simple process. Has cornhole, firepit, dock, and all the fixings. Such a gem, one of my top top northern MI rentals. Thanks for such a fun trip for a new engaged couple, and their best friends. Beautiful pines, loons, and location was prime for us.

Beautiful View

Our stay was perfect. Though we are very familiar with this lake, the views of it from this property is stunning. If your weather happens to be a little on the wet side, no fear, the large window with two comfy swivel chairs is the perfect place to sit and take it all in. The eagle across the lake peeks out and adds to the excitement.

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.

The only downside was that we couldn’t stay longer. Thank you to the owners for allowing our family to enjoy such a beautiful and peaceful place.

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.
