        Cute cottage on all sports lake

        This cottage is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. It's located on a small all sports lake (Bass Lake), conveniently located in the middle of the state. It's close to Alma College, Central Michigan University, and Soaring Eagle Casino in Mt. Pleasant. It's a 1/2 mile to the Fred Meijer Heartland trail which is a beautiful paved trail for biking, walking, running, or roller blading. The cottage is about a mile from the best ice cream shop and a great pizza place too.
        There are 3 different outdoor seating areas; you can enjoy an afternoon meal on the picnic table and a night time bonfire. You can relax on the beach, use the 3 paddle boards to go around the lake, bring your boat to park dockside, or swim and jump off the raft. There are 4 bedrooms which can easily accommodate 10 people and one full bathroom. There is also a washer and dryer, a fully stocked kitchen, a gas grill, plenty of board games, puzzles and books. You will find everything you need right here. If you're looking for a nice cottage, tucked away from big city life, you have found it. The Cottage... where memories are made!

        Exactly what was needed
        Quaint, cozy, and convenient. Went for a weekend getaway without the kids, this rental met the need. Close to Edmore and 20-25 minutes from Mount Pleasant. Love the view and fire pit was great. Paddle boards were fun. As far as the TV goes, it is only used for playing DVDs and VHS. Was hoping to have some other football games on, but was not a big deal.

        Cute cottage but needs a good deep cleaning and lots of routine maintenance done!
        Property is a great location, perfect for a getaway from the hustle and bustle with family. BUT, needs work(especially the back deck and lots of broken outdoor furniture!) and a good deep clean.. under beds, above cupboards, under/around furniture is VERY dirty. Vacuum does not work to clean up after little kids meal times (everything is carpet) Water smells horrible - definitely bring lots of bottle water for drinking, brushing teeth and cooking - we couldn’t even stand it to shower. Lots of dishes and cookware available which is great! Paddle boards were fun and kids loved fishing off the dock!

        lovely quiet spot
        We had a great time at this well-built cabin. The kitchen was wonderful and quite clean with plenty of dishes and pans. We enjoyed the comfortable living area and the privacy of the bedrooms--each bedroom is separated from the other with the thick walls, closets etc. The bathroom could use some updates in the shower/tub area-like get rid of the rusty soap and shampoo holder. We did appreciate how well supplied with towels, tissues, etc. The outdoor area is wonderful with the 2 decks-one in sun, the other shade. We appreciated the water, paddle boards and sandy beach and that there is quite a few feet of sandy bottom on the lake before the weeds. The upper deck and railings to the lower deck could use updating. It would have been nice to have a DVD player, also. There are DVD's but no player. Over all, this is a beautifully built cabin with everything you need plus more!

        Great location and host!
        This is such a great location. Neighbors are kind and the lake provides endless fun. Firepit is great and right on the sand. The host was very responsive and kind when we ran out of propane for the grill. We would stay again! It is a lovely place for a lake week. It was so nice to be able to use the paddle boards and there are plenty of towels both bath and beach to use. Beds were comfortable and cozy.

        Family Cottage
        Perfect place for a family getaway with little ones (2,4, and 6). The kids loved the attic bedroom, which was kept plenty cool with the AC unit. Lake is a bit weedy around the floating dock, but we had a great time paddle boarding to the swimming area right around the bend (500 ft?) and playing on the beach. Lake was quiet with great fishing (caught tons of bluegill right off the dock). Cottage was well-stocked and comfortable. One bathroom was a little tight for the amount of people it slept, but we made it work. Host was quick with responses. Would recommend and stay again.

        So much fun. The home was very clean and inviting. Having access to the paddle boards really was a hit. Hoping to be back next summer!
