About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private sand beach, screen porch, spacious rooms & scenic fall colors.

Escape to our family-owned and managed property in the beautiful Northwoods! This has been the home of our dreams and changes in this season of life have allowed us to share it with you.

As you step inside, you'll be greeted by picturesque windows that showcase a panoramic view of Little Bass Lake. The 3,800 square-foot house boasts 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms perfect for large families to have areas of privacy while making memories together. The large kitchen, modern appliances and 12-person dining table suit any occasion.

Bring the entire family together with outdoor seating for everyone on the deck, in the screen porch and around the firepit. The sandy and shallow beach are just steps away, inviting you to relax and soak up the sun. A paddleboat, kayak, beach toys and beach towels are provided. Little Bass Lake is a clear, clean and sandy-bottom 160 acres with depths up to 60 feet. You’re sure to enjoy the resident loon family as they sing throughout the day and night; and might find a few panfish, bass and northerns along the edges.

In summer, the local area offers a plethora of opportunities for outdoor adventures. Explore the surrounding hiking trails, the worldclass Tioga Recreation Area mountain bike system, cast your line for a day of fishing, or visit the many playgrounds for some family fun. Indulge in the local restaurants and breweries, and discover unique shopping experiences in Grand Rapids less than 10 minutes away.

When winter arrives, our home transforms into a winter wonderland. Enjoy snowmobiling adventures that begin on the expansive groomed trail system just 1/4 mile from the house. Glide through the snowy landscape on cross-country skis, or drill a hole on any of the countless area lakes for panfish, northerns and walleyes. For those seeking a bit of excitement, tubing and downhill skiing are a 15-minute drive away at Mt. Itasca. At the end of the day, defrost your sleds and vehicles in the heated two-stall garage.

Throughout your planning and stay, you’ll have direct contact to us. Having lived in the area for over ten years, we know all the best places to visit and track the local events calendar to ensure you don't miss anything. We are equally excited to make the most of your stay.

Wonderful Stay with Thoughtful Touches!
Our stay was absolutely amazing! The place was exactly as pictured online, and although the weather wasn’t perfect, we still had a fantastic time. The host was responsive, friendly, and provided plenty of recommendations for activities in town. They even went above and beyond for my birthday weekend, greeting us with a "Happy Birthday" sign, a bottle of wine, and a gift from a local bike shop. The house was stocked with everything we could possibly need, from a fully equipped kitchen to small essentials throughout. When my son forgot his toothbrush, we even found an extra one in the linen closet near the upstairs bedroom—such a thoughtful touch! We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to stay again. Highly recommend!

Our family had a wonderful vacation at Little Bass Estate. The playroom was wonderful for the grandchildren as well as the air hockey and ping pong table. We loved the paddle boat, kayak and beach toys. The hosts thought of everything, we have never had a VRBO so well stocked. We would definitely love to come back! Mike and Julie

Fantastic place to stay
This lake home was such a fun place for our family to stay. From the beginning Kacie was great at communicating and being responsive. The home and location itself is fantastic - it was spacious, exceptionally clean, had great places to hang out both inside and outside, the beach access was great, it was the perfect setting for a family vacation. Looking forward to staying again!

Best VRBO
This property is beautiful, and exactly as described online and even better. We had up to 10 adults and 3 kids under 6 years old. There was ample room for all of us and great toys and spaces for the kids. We all feel that this was the best organized, stocked and decorated VRBO any of us have stayed at. And communication with the owners was great. The perfect place for a large group.

2024 family vacation
We had a wonderful time. With four children 6 and under, the playroom was a gift. The beach was perfect for the kids and so many water and sand toys were available. We didn’t get any of the toys out that we brought. The deck and screened porch were so enjoyable to eat and hangout on/in. We didn’t have many questions, but the owners were very responsive. Overall, a beautiful lake place, plenty of room, multiple places for everyone to be at the same time or not, and we would happily stay there again.

Best VRBO Ever!
My family and I just returned from our week long vacation and I already want to return! As someone who has stayed at many rental properties, this is by far the best I have ever seen. The house comfortably fit our group of 11 and could have fit a couple more. We were greeted with stuff for s’mores, freezie pops, and locally made ice cream for the kids. The property is equipped with anything and everything you could need, both in the house and out. Plenty of outdoor seating, a plethora of life jackets for all sizes, and a paddle boat and kayak for fun water adventures…they even provide beach towels so you don’t have to pack your own! If you have kids, fear not! From the huge assortment of beach toys, backyard playground and other backyard toys to the large playroom with toys and games for all ages and the air hockey and ping pong tables downstairs, there will be no chance of boredom! But the absolute best part about this property are the owners! I have never dealt with such personable and caring rental property owners! Kacie responds immediately to any questions and goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best vacation!
