BASS LAKE RETREAT- lakeview home w 5 Bedrooms, Hot Tub, Game room, Pets

Spacious, lake-view, and built for a crowd — this six-bedroom Traverse City vacation rental on Bass Lake is the kind of place families return to year after year, and the glowing hot tub on the deck in a snowstorm tells you exactly why.

The home sits on a wooded lot above Bass Lake with genuine lakeview sightlines. Parking is ample, and the backyard deck hosts a large lit hot tub, photographed at night with its turquoise LED glow cutting through the winter dark against a railing backdrop. A cast-iron EFEL wood-burning stove anchors the main living area with real fireside heat.

Step through the door

The main-floor kitchen is well-equipped with abundant rich-oak cabinetry, dark tile countertops, a stainless side-by-side refrigerator with ice maker, a stainless range and over-range microwave, and hardwood floors, room for multiple cooks moving at once. The wood stove in the living area is a standalone cast-iron burner with a glass viewing panel, throwing real heat into a white-walled room. The washer is in-unit, and three full bathrooms, one photographed with a double-sink oak vanity and tub/shower, another with a tiled shower and colorful accent decor, keep the house moving at full capacity.

Where you'll sleep

Six bedrooms sleep 12. The master suite photographed is a generous room with pine-framed bay-style windows overlooking the trees, a king bed with lavender quilt and coordinating pillows, and a reading nook with armchair, calm and well-lit with natural light flooding in from multiple directions.

Outside your door

The deck-mounted hot tub is the evening centerpiece, large enough for the adults in the group, set right off the back of the house with a wooded privacy backdrop. The BBQ and balcony patio round out the outdoor setup for warm-weather cookouts.

What's Nearby

Bass Lake sits just outside the Traverse City metro, putting you close to downtown dining and the Old Mission Peninsula vineyards. The broader Traverse City area offers the TART Trails, Sleeping Bear Dunes day trips, and some of the best fresh-water sailing on the Great Lakes.

Perfect For

Large families or multi-family groups, up to 12 guests with room to breathe, pets welcome, a hot tub for unwinding, and a game room for rainy afternoons.
