Perfect for weekend getaway.

My wife and I wanted a nice, quiet house with a hot tub near Traverse City. This place was superb. Everything seemed to be in new condition. Perfect for a romantic weekend getaway. 15 minutes from downtown Traverse City. Easy back and forth for dining, shopping, etc. This would also be great for a family trip to TC. Definitely coming back.

Friends trip

The property was an excellent location. House was clean and had everything we needed. Only problem was hot tub water did not look clean. Steps going up to the house were quite steep for a couple of our friends. I think it needs another railing

Highly Recommend!

We are a family of 8 who rented over the New Year's holiday. The house is spacious and perfect for relaxing, cooking and playing games. The game room was really enjoyable and the hot tub is an added bonus. The beds were extremely comfortable and the 2.5 baths made it convenient for all guests. The view of the lake and the surrounding area is charming and quiet as well. Model Vacation Rentals was excellent to work with! They were very attentive and helpful; self-check in/out could not have been easier. I would highly recommend Bass Lake Retreat and Model Vacation Rentals!

Nice House

This house was very nice and had plenty if room for my family. I was disappointed because the hot tub wasn’t working I guess because of a storm they had the previous night. One of the reasons I chose this location was because if the hot tub. They did try and get someone out to fix it but it was the weekend. I asked for some type of compensation because if the non working hot tub but they refused. Also the mosquitos were awful, couldn’t even stay outside. I would suggest they spray the property. Couldn’t enjoy the fire pit.

Misleading and unresponsive

We booked this vrbo to have a nice short getaway for a few days with our family. Since we were bringing a baby, we would be limited in how far we could travel from the vrbo and so we wanted to pick one with plenty of options for activities nearby. This vrbo, while more expensive than some we were considering, stood out to us as it had many amenities and advertised a beach at the nearby bass lake (only a 2 minute drive!). We were disappointed to find out, after confusion and some google searching, that the beach in the listing’s images was actually not 2 minutes away but instead over 4 miles away at another lake entirely. It was only a couple minutes closer than going to the traverse city beach. Furthermore, bass lake has no public beach, just a boat drop off. After contacting the host to explain our dilemma and dissatisfaction with the false advertising on the listing, we got no response. However, I checked the listing recently and noticed they corrected it by removing the beach images and taking the word “beach” out of the image captions. This tells me they knowingly corrected the listing without acknowledging any wrongdoing with regard to false advertising. If you check the good reviews for this vrbo you’ll also notice most are during the winter when this false advertising would likely go unnoticed. We have reached out to vrbo and are hoping to resolve this shortly.
