Enjoy a stay at a newly renovated lakeside cottage. You'll feel like you are visiting your grandparents lake house. The cottage is situated on the north shore of 100 acre all sports Bass Lake in Vestaburg, Michigan. The cottage can be enjoyed throughout all of the seasons of Michigan. Ice fishing too...there is an ice auger in the shed. The cottage is situated in a private neighborhood that is adjacent to over 2,000 acres of state land for hunting and hiking. There is a map in the photo section.
The space
This a 900 square foot home with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Each bedroom has a queen bed. The master bedroom overlooks the lake and has a clothes dresser and garment rack and a 40 inch smart TV. The 2nd bedroom is smaller, but does have a closet and dresser. The utility room has a washer and dryer that guests may use as needed. The bathroom is spacious with a new vanity sink, toilet, and a updated shower (no bathtub). The large open living space contains a counter height dining table with a leaf, leather couch with dual recliners with a matching swivel recliner. A futon is located against the living room wall to create an additional sleeping space for 1-2 guests. The updated kitchen boasts quartz countertops, a massive stainless sink (big enough to bathe your toddlers), and a handy double oven with an over the range microwave. There is new vinyl plank flooring throughout the home.
Guest access
Guests will have access to the entire home. The sheds are inaccessible. Guests have use of the private boat launch next door. This launch is only for residents of the neighborhood and their guests. Guests have full use of a dock, paddle boat, 2 kayaks, 1 paddleboard, and a shared swim raft/waterslide and swim pad. If you need extra kayaks or paddleboards please message the host and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. Life jackets are available on the property, but if you need different sizes just ask! There are general use items in the cottage that can be used as needed, but please put them back where you found them.
Other things to note
Please keep in mind that this home is located on a private dirt road. This road is maintained by residents and your visit may occur during a span of time when the road is in need of maintenance. Please drive carefully. As you park your car just pull right onto limestone parking spaces. There is enough parking to comfortably fit 4 vehicles. This is a lake which is a natural area so keep in mind this will be cottage living! You are welcome to use the hot tub at the main house just keep in mind that even though it's not private, you won't be sharing it with others at the same time. The hot tub is at home of the host and it's only 20-50 feet away from the cottage. I do not list it as an amenity as I don't want to disappoint anyone as I cannot guarantee that weather, water balance, or function will be in full working order. The hot tub is an optional bonus for guests who want to use it.
The cottage is located 15 miles west of Alma, 25-30 minutes southwest of Mt. Pleasant, 1 hour north of Lansing, 1 hour northeast of Grand Rapids. If you need to visit your favorite college student at CMU or Alma College this is the perfect location! The Soaring Eagle casino is an easy 30 minute drive. Guests attending concerts have enjoyed staying here.
This is a living breathing home and we work hard to keep things in working order but as with all homes there are quirks, new noises, and things to learn so I have tried my best to add notes around the home to ease your stay. Feel free to reach out with questions or if you need help.
