Lakewood Lodge on Beautiful Bass Lake 6 adults 2 children

Lakewood Lodge is a charming waterfront log home on beautiful Bass Lake in Michigan's Grand Traverse region. A very unique 1.5 acre lot with towering trees is hemmed with a 50’ private beach front on an all-sports lake. It truly is a special place for making memories with friends and family.

The full log home provides a spacious ‘up north’ ambiance with cathedral ceilings and two levels of living. An open great room with a loft, kitchen, dining and bar area are centered around an impressive natural stone fireplace. The oversized patio with access to a grill provides two dining areas, with peaceful views of the woodland landscape, wildlife, and the lake. A large fire pit in the center of the property is the favorite spot for evening storytelling and roasting marshmallows. No parties allowed.

Bass Lake is a spring fed, all-sports lake with over 100 acres. Its smaller size provides hard-to-find experience when compared to the larger and busier lakes in the area. It is great for any kind of water sport and activity, as well as an excellent fishing spot for bass, perch, pike and bluegill. Much of the lake shoreline is dedicated to a state park, with public boat access, which makes it a sanctuary and great observatory of wildlife. An older fishing boat, two kayaks and a new L-shaped composite dock are part of the amenities.
