Annual Pentwater Trip

The property was very clean and had a few bonus items like a basketball hoop & ball, kayaks & cart, smart TV and two seating areas. It is located at the opening of a quiet no outlet road which was perfect for walking the dogs. We had a wonderful time staying at Basswood Hideaway!

Cabin in nice location.

We stayed in this cabin August 2024 and it definitely has the cabin smell that’s a little overwhelming when you first enter. It was fine for us to come back to in the evening after our day trips. Close to visit Ludington and Pentwater. Also Lake Michigan or inland Bass Lake for beach days. The carpet and couch could use a good shampoo otherwise, it was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Great stay, great location!

Location was perfect, so much to do in the area. House is very close to two off-the-beaten path Lake Michigan beaches, a short walk to Bass Lake, and only a short drive to Pentwater or Ludington. Aside from the location, the house was clean, cozy, and nostalgic. The binder was very useful in providing ideas for things to do or see that we wouldn't have discovered otherwise. Would definitely stay again!

Cute cottage

The cottage itself was perfect, everything worked great, the water pressure was low, but there was plenty of hot water. We had our dog with us, and the cottage is on a corner, and for it being a winding, very dark road, the cars drove extremely fast in front of the cottage, so that was an issue with having our dog. The only other thing I would mention was, the view of the neighbors across the street, wasnt the best thing to stare at if you wanted to sit by the fire or hang outside. We spent most of our time away from the cottage, since there was no privacy in the yard. The road that the cottage is on is a beautiful drive, and the location is centrally located to visit Ludington/Lake MI.

Don’t worry about the roaches

Initially property looked clean and well taken care of. After a day went by my wife killed a bug on the counter and showed it to me. She said it was the fifth ones she’s killed. At first glance it appeared to be a cockroach. After some online searching it was confirmed to be a roach. We communicated the issue with the host and we were told they would send someone out and thanked us for making them aware, with kids and dogs we opted to wait. We seen and killed 3 more of the next 2 days and one night while searching for our son’s blanket found cockroach traps all throughout the house. This lead me to believe they were aware and didn’t communicate it with us. We again contacted the host and were told nobody else complained about them and the cockroach poison was just precautionary. We were also told it’s a cabin in the woods bugs should be expected. We are home now washing and sanitizing all our belongings in hopes not to bring cockroaches into our home.

Great cabin, relaxed stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: That was a nice (and short) week. Beautiful place. It is on the intersection of two not very busy roads, but is set back enough for privacy. The cabin is very clean and has everything you need. I found that grilling tools were missing, but Nikki arranged replacement within 30 minutes. Great response time and attention! The place is great for a small family. For those traveling with dogs and prefer a relaxed not crowded beach, I recommend Buttersville park and beach - about 12 minutes drive north on Lakeshore Drive. There’s a lot of options for people with various interests: swimming and other water sports, fishing, dining. Speaking about all those options, the folder on the kitchen table has a lot of recommendations and is really helpful.In general, a great stay except for deadly mosquitoes. There were a couple of rainy and stormy days, and the cabin is between Lake Michigan and Bass Lake, so the humidity was bad. I would definitely recommend to stay there and will try to rent again if it’s available.Thank you.

Nostalgic

Loved my stay. The cabin has the old michigan musk to it, but in the best way. It reminds me of going up north when I was a kid. And for the price you can't really beat the location. Also, in the cabin you'll find a binder with recommendations for beaches, food, hiking, etc. Much appreciated!

Michigan family vacation

This was a lovely property to spend time with family. Had a fire most evenings. The sleeper on the porch wasn't the most comfortable so we used an air matress and that worked great.

Great vacation spot

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. Nice little beach called the outlet right down the road and close to downtown Pentwater, which was an adorable little town. Very dog friendly, Lake Michigan Mears state park has a really nice dog beach and it wasn’t overly crowded. The cottage was great, they had all the amenities and it was very clean. Wi-Fi worked great and the had google tv in the bed room to snuggle and watch movies at night. Property was quiet, it is off lakeshore drive and some people speed through the windy road. However, the house is set far enough back from the road that it’s not dangerous to have pups or children out front. Beach chairs and other beach items in the shed for use! Loved that the provided a binder with a list of restaurants, beaches, activities and more with a description for each, very helpful. If you are looking for a nice day activity, Stoney Lake Stables is about a half hour drive and they offer horse riding through trails. All in all, awesome vacation spot!

Relaxing weekend in Pentwater

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin & property was exceptional! Clean, spacious & a short walk to Lake Michigan, & even shorter distance to Bass Lake. The manager accommodated us by bringing a crock pot early on Saturday morning. I thought that was over & beyond, & very grateful for the gesture. We went hiking & came back to a hot meal in the evening! Hiking the many trails or walking along the beach are what we enjoyed, but there are many, many more activities for all.

A great cabin weekend!

We stayed with family for a long cabin weekend. It is definitely a woodsy cabin/cottage vibe. Bugs included. It’s very cozy. And the Dog friendly cabin was key! Restaurants/shopping in Ludington and Pentwater are a quick drive. Overall, worked out perfect for us
