Recently we have had guests who don't share the appreciation or respect of our cottage as well as others. We politely ask that children (and sloppy adults) do not eat or drink on the furniture or in beds. Please help us keep these items free of stains so that all guests may enjoy them! From this point forward- guests will be charged for damages should we find staining on our furniture or bedding upon departure. Please also do not sit on the sofas or beds after swimming or bathing as this is leaving water marks on our furniture and making it difficult to keep them in good shape. If you feel this request is too strict, please do not reserve our cottage. ***Please read entire listing for all information and ask as many questions as necessary prior to making a reservation. Refunds will not be given for lack of any expected amenity. If availability of a specific amenity is important to you and is not clearly listed above- please contact us to confirm it's availability.

Nice Stay at Isle of the Wilds
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is wonderful, roomy and well stocked. Our grandkids enjoyed fishing in the pond and in the lake and caught quite a few bass, perch and bluegill. The beach is very nice and sandy but is a little walk (2 minutes) from the house. We enjoyed using the kayaks especially when the no-wake rules were in force. The area is very quiet and away from a lot of traffic and commercialization. Baldwin offers most amenities and is 20 minutes away. I’d recommend this house for anyone who wants to get away from it all.

Fall Family Vacation
The house was exactly what was needed for the 9 of us! Very spacious and extra clean! Only thoughts for the owner are would be nice if fire pit didn’t have cigarette butts and more rugs to help with echoing and creaky floors would be nice. But we don’t have any complaints and would book again if the occasion came up!

Best of the best!
This is by far the best experience we have had with vacation rentals! This home comes with literally everything you will need! You could arrive with a suitcase of clothes and food and be set for your stay! Plenty of towels and linens , kitchen gadgets( full kitchen- crock pot- toaster - pots/pans, dishes, endless utensils, coffee maker with coffee!etc), soap, shampoo, body wash, extra toiletries incase you forget yours, cleaning supplies to tidy up your messes ( as the home was spotless)! The location is prime and perfect! We enjoyed kayaking, fishing and the beach( a 60 second walk from the house). Backyard was perfect for young ones, swing set , large lawn and games inside and out to keep all occupied.House is super spacious, very clean, well stocked and a great view on the back porch to enjoy your morning coffee as the sun rises. Super easy to locate the house as well! Host and neighbours were so kind and welcoming! I would highly recommend visiting, you will not be disappointed!! 15/10!

Great getaway!
We have been to big bass lake for about 5 years and enjoyed it- but we needed a larger space and a 2nd bathroom- this home did not disappoint! Very clean, had plently of items that we brought (just in case) that we never needed due to the accuracy of the listing. Host was amazing and always responded in a prompt manner when asking a question. We would highly recommend and may come back next year schedules permitting!

Peaceful retreat
Every year my husband, and I with our 3 boys (16,12,8 yrs) my parents and my grandma take a vacation. This year we chose Big Bass Lake. It was by far the most relaxing time we've had. The cabin was very spacious, and clean. Theres not a whole lot to do within 30 miles, so if your a person that likes to run into town daily this may not be the place for you. However it was perfect for us. (We did go into Ludington and Manistee for a few hours during the rainy/gloomy times). This was our first vacation where we didnt want to go home 🙃 The lake is a no wake from 7pm- 11am so nights and mornings were quiet and were great on the kayaks. We took our boat and docked it durning the day the kids had a blast at the beach area, along with tubing and fishing. Lots of wildlife everywhere, it was awesome. Seen some things we've never seen before. If we went to the same place every year we'd definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

A great getaway
The house was clean and charming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Access to the lake was easy, and it was very nice of the homeowners to let their guests use their kayaks. We enjoyed paddling the lake in the mornings and evenings. Big Bass Lake has no wake hours from 7:30 pm to 11 am, so it is perfect for people with younger children.

Fall Get Away
The house was a great place for our Family Fall Weekend. It was a bit brisk outside so we spent extra time indoors. Plenty of room to spread out and yet enjoy each others company. We watched some football, played a game and enjoyed the view of the lake. Ludington State Park is about 40 to 50 minutes away and worth the trip.
