Sweet Cherry Cottage: waterfront and close to everything
About this house rental
New 2021 listing! This cottage is part of a 1940s resort that has been updated. We have several cottages along 500 feet of Bass Lake water frontage. We love our little slice of heaven and you will, too! The cottage has two bedrooms and one bath with both washer and dryer, and two bedrooms both with queen beds. You would have your own private fire ring and access just outside your door to the water. If you don't like dogs, this property is probably not for you. We have doodles and poodles and a couple of little girl pups that frequent the beach area and they love people. They will want to come and say hi at some point, guaranteed! We are located about 10 minutes to Traverse City where you can enjoy all sorts of fun! We are a foody town and we have festivals galore all summer long. We are also a short 30 minutes to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park where you can hike and sightsee to your heart's content. We have two kayaks, 2 paddle boards, a canoe and I could round up more if needed. I am around if needed, but I won't be in your way if not. We have a strict 4 person maximum, but we do have one other cottage that may be open when you want to stay, so if you are hoping to travel with friends or family, let me know and I'll check availability.

Everything was perfect for our time there. It was beautiful looking out onto the lake. The other cottages next to ours were empty so we enjoyed the privacy and quiet. Kitchen was well stocked for the two of us.

Unfortunately it rained for most of trip, but that meant we spent a lot of time inside the cabin. It was small, but the perfect size for the four of us. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything I needed to cook and there were games to play. The tv was small, but we also watched a movie. The location was nice. We were about 10-15 minutes to many restaurants, downtown traverse city and about 30 minutes from the sand dunes. Wished we could’ve used the fire pit. It was right by the beach and would’ve been great during the sunsets, but we did manage to use the kayaks even though it was drizzling and had fun. The owner Jody was quick to communicate and made sure we had everything we needed.

This was the perfect cabin on the cutest lake for a short weekend trip with the hubs. We walked our kayaks down to the lake a few times over our trip and had a blast exploring. This is the perfect spot for some lazy kayaking. We were only a short drive to Bear Dunes and an equally close to Traverse City. We will definitely be staying here again

Overall my wife, son and I had a great time. Location of the cottage to surrounding areas and attractions made the stay very enjoyable. The cottage was nice and well maintained with lots of privacy and immediate access to bass lake. The only two down sides we experienced were the water quality, which was slightly brown and tasted very metallic, which we overcame by using bottled water for drinking. Also we had a chipmunk that made several appearances leaving poop behind wherever he had been. All in all we enjoyed our stay and didn’t let the few items effect our vacation.

The cabin is as advertised. One of the beds is very comfortable but the other isn’t great. The cabin was clean but it was a little musty. Also we left some peaches on the island and a little chipmunk helped himself. We got him out and let the owner know. They said they have been trying to fight them. All in all it was a good stay. The cabin is well equipped and the lake is great.

Great place to get away.
This cabin was perfect for our family of 4. The lake it is on is amazing! We caught 6-10 fish a day for not being on the lake long. There was a mountain bike trail just down the road which is one of the reasons we went to this area. There were kayaks on site and the beach area was small but nice. You could dock a boat if you wanted. We liked having the freedom to go into Traverse City or up the Peninsula. And Moomers is so close! This is cute, small, but big enough for a family of 4 cottage. The water was a little weird but that is not a deal breaker. I only wish it was pet friendly. Overall, this is a great place to stay that I would definitely come back to.

Very Cute Little Cottage!
This little cottage was very cute and clean. The lake view is beautiful! We enjoyed kayaking and fishing on the lake. The property is conveniently situated so it is not a far drive to a lot of fabulous hikes, lakes, rivers, shops, restaurants, breweries and wineries.

We loved our visit to this wonderful cottage! It was on a quiet lake, close to downtown Traverse City. The water was clear & perfect for our family to swim in. We enjoyed taking the kayaks out & sitting around the fire pit at night!

Beautiful lakefront
Enjoyed being close to Traverse City yet outside of the city on a quiet lake. Sitting by the fire at night listening to the loons was the best.

My husband and I had a lovely time at the cottage. The cottage was very nice and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. Jody was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions I had during the process. Would love to visit again.

Helpful Host
We had two small issues while we were there and the host couldn't have been nicer about them. She responded immediately with apologies and then had them fixed quickly.

My three boys and I recently stayed in Sweet Cherry Cottage and had such a wonderful time. The cottage was very clean, and it was charmingly decorated. Jody (the host) was attentive and thoughtful - though we met her as she was on shore and we were on the lake in canoe/kayak (so from a distance) we could sense her warmth. We loved being on the water in a quiet location, and we had so much fun in the various watercraft. The whole experience was really good for our souls - to float on the water and return to this quiet, sweet, just right place...

We had a great time at this adorable cottage! Jody was very helpful and even let us use her canoe and kayaks! It’s about 20 mins from traverse city and on a very quiet lake. Our boys had a blast fishing and using the splash pad Jody had!

Just as advertised. Perfect location near both Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City. Bass Lake is great for swimming and relaxation.
The property owners are super responsive and generous. They will help you with whatever you need. Provided items for our children to enjoy, like fishing poles.
Minor complaint with quality of the beds. Nothing major but could have been more comfortable and there is plenty of room for queens in each bedroom. Dishwasher did not function properly, but that’s an easy fix that I’m sure will be resolved quickly.
We had a wonderful time and would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and/or adventure filled week.
