Great little cabin and super convenient to Grand Rapids! Owners were quick to respond. Fishing is GREAT for young kids with lots of bites. Just not for fishermen looking for Crappies or Walleye. Lake is spectacular and clear with lots of great swimming and non-motor activities! I’d definitely recommend

We really enjoyed our stay, beautiful location with a great dock and kayaks! Just something to keep in mind: checkout includes tasks like taking out the trash, washing dishes, stripping beds, and starting towels, which felt like a lot considering there’s a cleaning fee. It might not bother everyone, but it did take away from the relaxed vibe a bit. Also, if you plan to cook, consider bringing a nonstick pan—eggs stuck to the ones provided.

We stayed 3 nights and had a wonderful time. The lake was beautiful and the accommodations were great! Our 9yr old enjoyed fishing. Unfortunately the weather limited the amount of time we spent on the water but when we were out there it was very enjoyable. Would absolutely stay here again!

Little Bass cabin was just what we were looking for our family vacation. The check in and out process was very easy. We arrived on a Sunday and stayed a week but with the view of the lake at sunrise and sunset as well as spending time on the lake and lounging on the beach area none of us were ready to go home. I can’t say enough about the hosts they were amazing to work with, even before our stay very prompt to answer and questions as well as during and after our stay. Thank you for the honor of renting your VRBO.Penny

Visiting Family for the Holidays

Spending the Holidays in Grand Rapids to see family. The cabin was a great staging spot for us to be close to family but still have our own space. Very clean, comfy, and cozy. Can't wait to take advantage of the cabin on Little Bass during the summer.

Awesome lakeshore location

We loved the bright and uncluttered interior. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed. The lakeshore was perfect for docking our boat and easily launching our kayaks. Enjoyed the multi-level decks for relaxing and dining. Impressed by the clean basement with washer and dryer. Enjoyed shopping, strolling, brewery, wine cafe' and more in Grand Rapids.

Not Sure What to say

Would Advise getting the insurance and taking pictures of everything, immediately offered to pay for "Damages", after investigating, i think possibly damages were done to the table by their cleaners, not sure.. Not Us.. An old bifold door that was off the track on arrival, and we are asked to pay to have it popped back into place.. We use VRBO quite a bit, and not used to dealing with things like this. I guess That is all i will say

Exactly what I was looking for

A lake place, just like the ones I remembered when I lived in Minnesota. Growing up, we all went to “the lake” every weekend. Sometimes people thought everyone went to the same lake! But no, going to the lake meant staying at a “cabin” that wasn’t winterized. Now the cabin at the lake can be a modern house, like this vrbo. Complete with a mated pair of loons that called to each other several times a day. The lake itself was clean and clear, and beautiful, and no noisy jet skis and speed boats. Perfect.
