About this property

Little Bass Cabin - Kayaks & Clear Water Swimming

  • Quaint 3 bedroom house with gorgeous views on a quiet lake with great fishing!

    The 3 bedrooms have all the comforts of home with memory foam/hybrid mattresses. Master bedroom fitted with a queen bed, desk and chair. Second bedroom is the kids nook with twin/full bunk bed and toys and books to keep them busy. Third bedroom you’ll find a queen bed with vanity dresser for you to unpack and relax.

    Cook your day’s catch in the kitchen! Equipped with refrigerator, oven/stove, microwave, drip coffee maker, assorted dishes, cooking utensils, and small appliances like toaster, slow cooker, and blender.

    Enjoy the view outside on the deck at the dining table or lying out on the lounge chairs. Gas grill provided for use during the summer months.

    Swimming couldn’t get any better in this quiet, clean lake that stays shallow near the shore. Tie up your boat to the dock or explore the water in one of the two kayaks, life jackets also provided. Relax by the fire pit and enjoy the stars or watch the fish jump.

    Little Bass Lake is known for its wellspring of pan fish like sun fish, crappies, perch, bass, northerns and the occasional walleye. Public boat launch is located across from the cabin, directions with map information is in the printed welcome booklet at the cabin.

    Our little slice of Minnesota lake life is just the place to make memories, unplug and reconnect.

Great memorial weekend at the little cabin!

Fun family weekend on the lake, fishing, kayaking and hanging by the fire. Very clean and comfy for a family of 5 plus a toddler. Dogs have a blast too.

We booked a 4 day stay for 2 adults and one dog. We were planning to leave our other dog with a sitter, but the sitter didn't work out. The owners were wonderful, and said it was ok to bring him since we already paid the pet fee. The beds were comfy and the sheets were really lux! The 2 bedrooms with queen beds had a lot of room for our stuff, as did the small bathroom. The dogs loved the sunbeams coming through the patio doors. . The lake was quiet, we only saw one boat the whole time. Close enough to town to do a run if needed. There must have been some sort of construction going on, lots of trucks hauling things on the road. I haven't seen that in other reviews, so probably temporary. We hope to stay again sometime. Don't forget to bring your own coffee!

Great cabin stay

We had a great cabin stay on a nice little lake. The entry to the water and lake were great for kids playing as well as kayaking and fishing. Plenty of room to sleep our family of 6. We hope to come again.

Beautiful Lakefront Views

We love the beautiful lakefront views! Sunrise over the lake is stunning. The cabin is bright and welcoming and the views can be enjoyed inside or out. We especially enjoy the dock, kayaks, fire pit and being able to bring our dog. We had a wonderful stay!

Visiting Family for the Holidays

Spending the Holidays in Grand Rapids to see family. The cabin was a great staging spot for us to be close to family but still have our own space. Very clean, comfy, and cozy. Can't wait to take advantage of the cabin on Little Bass during the summer.

Great little cabin and super convenient to Grand Rapids! Owners were quick to respond. Fishing is GREAT for young kids with lots of bites. Just not for fishermen looking for Crappies or Walleye. Lake is spectacular and clear with lots of great swimming and non-motor activities! I’d definitely recommend

Charming lake with loon family

Love the size of the lake and a beautiful view from the house. Very comfortable house with all amenities provided. My only complaint is the busy street noise that at times, blocked out the serenity of the lake.

Awesome lakeshore location

We loved the bright and uncluttered interior. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed. The lakeshore was perfect for docking our boat and easily launching our kayaks. Enjoyed the multi-level decks for relaxing and dining. Impressed by the clean basement with washer and dryer. Enjoyed shopping, strolling, brewery, wine cafe' and more in Grand Rapids.

Exactly what I was looking for

A lake place, just like the ones I remembered when I lived in Minnesota. Growing up, we all went to “the lake” every weekend. Sometimes people thought everyone went to the same lake! But no, going to the lake meant staying at a “cabin” that wasn’t winterized. Now the cabin at the lake can be a modern house, like this vrbo. Complete with a mated pair of loons that called to each other several times a day. The lake itself was clean and clear, and beautiful, and no noisy jet skis and speed boats. Perfect.

A cozy little getaway! The porch is to die for. Beds were soooo comfy. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need (including wine openers!) The hosts really went above and beyond to make sure the cabin has everything you could need for a home-away-from-home. They also were very prompt about responding when messaged!
