Escape to our family-owned and managed VRBO 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. Our VRBO offers a sandy and shallow beach 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 will find panfish, bass and northerns as the predominant fish species among the lilly pads and pencil reeds.
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 just 6 minutes away.
When winter arrives, our VRBO 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 12-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.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience the ultimate family getaway. Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. Book your stay on Little Bass Lake today and embark on a journey of relaxation, adventure and creating lasting memories.
