About this cottage rental
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 and 1 kayak 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!

Lisa is an exceptional host. The house is fully stocked with many bonus extras. The view is divine but the thick gooey muck was a bit of a let down for swimming on the lake. Lisa and even the very fun and kind neighbors shared how low the water in the lake was this year. We had a fabulous time.

Our stay was great, the only complaint from the kids was that the lale was a little mucky, but it didn't stop them from swimming!

We enjoyed our stay and the lake. There are some safety concerns with the deck and the steps. One child’s foot went through a step. The top railing is about to break. Several boards are sketchy We have enjoyed our stays. This was our 3rd year, but no improvements in that time

We had a nice time in the area, but the house was just ok. The lake was low and extremely mucky and weedy. We used the public access area down the street which was a bit better for swimming. Also, a heads up that there were no life vests for the paddle boards and kayak. The home could use some updates and furniture upgrades, but it was as pictured and overall clean. Just pay attention that the “loft” is an attic with a pull down ladder to access it.While the host responded quickly, we never received check in or out instructions via VRBO or email, and missed the laminated sheet left in the house. Yet, were still charged extra for not rolling out the trash or stripping the beds. Alas. Also, a neighbor warned us about a Doberman that walks around off leash a couple houses down and is not friendly. Do not approach.The pros: the view was lovely, the nearby cider mill and petting zoo were fun. It was fine for a weekend, but we wouldn’t recommend for a long week or if you want to swim if the lake is low.
