Beautiful log cabin just minutes from the beach!

Big Bass Cabin is a newer cabin conveniently located between Lake Michigan and Bass Lake, near Pentwater, Michigan. The road is quiet, and there is a wonderful fire pit right out front - great for summer eves or relaxing, roasting marshmallows and making memories. You can walk to either Bass Lake (where we also have a dock for your boat), or you can walk one mile to the Lake Michigan beach, which has a huge shallow inlet and access to miles and miles of beach walking. Bass Lake is a 500-acre all-sports lake. We love the fact that there are two lakes literally right there.

The cabin is a beautiful log cabin with the interior finished all in natural pine. The ceilings soar as the whole cabin (with exception of the two main level bedrooms and bathroom) are wide open up to the ceiling with ceiling fans. The kitchen is new and modern and includes a dishwasher, microwave, oven/range, full size refrigerator, coffee maker, pots and pans and everything you need to make your stay convenient. There is a large island that also has seating for five.

The kitchen is open to the main living space that has a large sectional along with a large flatscreen television and access to the back deck. The back deck faces miles of natural forest and at night you literally can sit back and hear nothing but the sounds of the woods.

The two bedrooms on the main floor feature queen beds. Both rooms are identical in size. They also each have a full-size closet to store your clothes. Each room contains a ceiling fan.

The bathroom can be found at the end of the hall between the two bedrooms. The bathroom has a tub/shower combo and a beautiful custom vanity. The floor is tile.

Also in the hall to the bedrooms and bathroom, you'll find a stacked washer and dryer. This is available to use during your stay.

Through the main living area you'll see the custom-built log stairs that lead to a huge loft. The loft features a good size game table, two double beds, and a couch. There is also another flat screen television up there. Great for when the parents and the kids need a little bit of space!

In front of the home there's a place for the kids to play in the sand and there's a large deck area with a picnic table, a four-person table and chairs, and several other chairs for plenty of seating. The back deck also has several chairs for morning coffee or evening chats.

We love the cabin's vibe ... it's an excellent choice for making family memories. Plus I can underscore the location between the two lakes. You are literally a one-minute drive or short walk from both Lake Michigan and Bass Lake. On top of that, you are also about 10 minutes from the beachside communities of Pentwater, MI and Ludington, MI. Both communities feature unique shopping opportunities and plenty of good restaurants.

Nice cabin
Nice comfortable cabin and conveniently located. I only gave 3 stars for cleanliness because I felt the exterior needed to be pressure washed as there were many spider webs on the log exterior. We also had many acorns and leaves on the deck when we arrived. We swept them off and it lasted about 3 days or so (so I don’t think the deck was swept prior to our arrival). The interior was very clean and amenities were good. Overall we would recommend.

Log Cabin
Cabin was ok, overall land footprint was smaller than expected, only room for two cars to park. No A/C, thankfully it was cool at night. The water is good! Sometimes well water can be stinky but they have a good water system. Washer and dryer is a plus. The towels and wash cloths supplied need to be replaced. The beds were ok, not the best but I’ve slept in worse. The cleaning crew needs to pay closer attention to details. Overall it was ok.

Lovely log cabin
We stayed at cabin with 6 family members. We loved the front and back porches and the fire pit. Proximity was close to all the fun we wanted. The cabin is very well kept, and well stocked with what we needed.

Weekend Away
Overall this was a decent place. The host would do well to provide more personal information regarding local sights to not miss, food spots for various cuisines, and tips to enhance the stay - like be sure to keep coolers inside to avoid visits from racoons. Also would have been nice to have a guest book that wasn't filled up. The location was close to Pentwater and Ludington which was great. All in all - a really nice place to stay!

Favorite Log cabin vacation
This is the second year renting this beautiful cabin. It is very clean (Im very particular and don't even have to clean on arrival) , centrally located from the towns of Pentwater and Ludington and has access to Bass Lake and Lake Michigan within walking distance. It is a peaceful area with a larger front yard with a big firepit and a nice backyard view especially in the quiet hours. It accommodates our family of 6 adults with ease. We had a minor issue with a newer refrigerator and the host was very responsive to our concerns, came out to the cabin to help address the situation and was very efficient in trying to fix the problem quickly. I would highly recommend this cabin! We look forward to visiting this awesome area again next year!

Fishing trip
The house keepers don’t do a good thorough job, cookie sheets were greasy and the mattresses were broke down pretty bad. The home was a beautiful cabin and served its purpose.

Anniversary trip
This was the best spot to celebrate an anniversary the beginning of January. We wanted a location that didn’t have a lot of activity, and we also were OK with things not being as active in the off-season. This was perfect for us to escape from our mid Michigan, busy life and enjoy the west side of the state in a quiet town in the winter. The cabin was clean and had a lot of space just for us, but I could also see a lot of opportunity for larger groups of people to enjoy the rooms in the cabin. He would definitely come back during the busy season or the off-season again down the road. Thank you!
