Great views
The location and views from this rental cannot be beat. We loved being right on the water with beautiful sunsets. The kitchen was stocked with just about everything we needed. There was plenty of space and beds for everyone to have a comfortable stay. There were some updates in process and a water softner would go a long way with keeping up the water pressure in the showers and using the dishwasher.

Very big historic house in a great location.
The family loved the view of the lake and this private beach. The house is very large and looks historic, and the owners are clearly working to improve it. Would love to know the full history of the place. It can get very hot on the islands in the summer, and it is hard to cool a property this large. The owners have provided additional AC units upstairs to help with this. We used to have a place on the other side of the island, and it was great to get back to Middle Bass. One thing I would mention, you are in the middle of nowhere. Cell service is terrible. But the internet service to the house is surprisingly good. We watched MLS soccer in HD during our stay through AppleTV MLS.

Charming house on MBI
Charming house. Amazing location with beautiful and large private beach. Some fun activities on the island for kids and adults. Owners working on some updates which will make the house a perfect vacation spot!
We enjoyed watching sunsets and playing in the lake, searching for beach glass, and roaming around the small island. Nice getaway from the city!
