Fantastic stay!

We had a fantastic stay at the cottage. Very clean, well stocked. Kathy was awesome. Very helpful with everything. So very kind to allow use of so many water toys. The property is extremely well kept. The whole area is peaceful and very safe. People are very friendly. The cottage is behind the house so a very short walk to the lake, but that makes it very private. We kayaked, played in the water, sat by the fire and watched fireworks and beautiful night sky. Thanks again!!

The truth: This is not lakefront. It’s an in-law suite located directly behind the main residence, which is "across" the street from the lake. Be prepared to potentially share the grounds with the owners.The good: It was very clean, nicely decorated, with new furnishings and a generous supply of lake toys for both kids and adults. I also appreciated the late checkout.The bad: The owner is a bully. I personally cleaned, swept, took out the trash, covered all outdoor furniture, swapped propane tanks, and even scrubbed the grill—which was filthy with old food—even though I never used it. I never complained about the misleading listing. I just let it all go. About a week later, the owner flooded my inbox accusing me of damaging the bedroom wall. She later sent a photo of a minor scuff mark where the metal bedframe had rubbed against the wall. We did not cause this. I even suggested she move the bed away from the wall to prevent further wear. She insisted the drywall needed replacement and pressed me to settle outside of VRBO. I refused. Not only did we not cause the scuff, it’s normal wear and tear for any property with a metal bunkbed set directly against drywall. She offered no proof it wasn’t there before. Once she slipped and said she “typically” resolves these issues outside of VRBO to not ruin the guests rating, it became clear this may be a pattern—intimidating guests into paying for supposed damages. I stood my ground. The whole thing was ridiculous. Very sad.

Wonderful Bass Lake paradise

The house is very comfortable, well appointed and well situated to Bass Lake. The property is just off the lake perimeter road and is very peaceful and quiet. The home is new and in wonderful condition. Furniture is comfortable and bright in a relaxed setting

Quiet and Beautigul

We had a great stay and will come back! Summer was over but we had beautiful weather and enjoyed the lake as much as we could. The house has everything we needed and was cozy and comfy.

Fun without a view

The cottage was nicely decorated, very clean and came with lots of water toys. Outdoor space was nice but there is no lake view from the cottage. Lake access is past another house on the property and across a street. Not ideal for children. The lake public beach was fantastic for the kids. Lots of clean sand and shallow area. If have older children who ski, this cottage would be ideal.

Cute place, well appointed

The cottage is well stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies. Loved the access to a grill, plenty of outdoor seating and proximity to the lake! The owner even extended the offer to use the paddle boat docked at the pier. We did not have access to the lake "toys" (e.g. floats, paddle boards, etc.) until the evening on the first day, which was disappointing, as my kids had already come in for dinner, but the rental manager did come to open it as soon as she could. Overall, a very nice experience if you're looking for a place on Bass Lake.

Relaxing lake stay

My husband and our 2 sons (18 & 21) enjoyed a week at Bass Lake. The house is super cute and very clean! You have everything you need in the house and a pole barn full of water toys/rafts to use. Kathie is very attentive and quick to respond to questions/requests. The lake was very quiet during the week, we were practically the only ones on the water a few times. It is a low key, no frills vacation spot. The
