Farmhouse Cottage | House in Irons
4 Bedroom House in Irons
Welcome to our 125 year old, remodeled farmhouse. This adorable farmhouse has all new amenities: kitchen, 2.5 baths, laundry room, carpet & plank flooring, paint, appliances, etc. Even though the home has been updated, we maintained most of the original farmhouse charm and the cozy cottage feel. This home is near the end of a cul-de-sac road and sits atop a hill with beautiful views of Little Bass Lake. There is no public access or launch to the lake so it stays pretty quiet. There are 3 kayaks as well as a paddle board available for use. The large stone fire-pit that overlooks the water is perfect for bonfires and roasting marshmallows! Metal roasting sticks are available in the garage. There is firewood onsite for purchase in the garage.
Go remote and get away from it all! The home is close to the trails, perfect for four-wheeling, ORV riding, and snowmobiling so bring your toys! Walking/Bike trails are just across the street from our road. It is federal land for your enjoyment!
*Please keep in mind that this cottage is pretty remote, as there is approximately thirty minutes to the Little River Casino, Crystal Mountain Ski & Golf Resort (they also have a Spa), Caberfae Peaks Ski area, Ludington, Manistee, and Cadillac. One hour from Traverse City.
Baldwin is approximately 30 minutes away. Fish the Pere Marquette River - one of the best fishing rivers in all of the Midwest. Baldwin Canoe & Tube Rental is also in town and a lot of fun. They also have kayaks and rafts available. Magoon Creek Park is 25 minutes away which is on Lake Michigan and has spectacular views! Walk the short trail to the lake to swim & play!
This farmhouse cottage is what going up north is all about - Remote, cozy, rest & relaxation! Little Bass Lake is 65 acres and has some of the cleanest water you will ever see. Over 10+ natural springs make this lake clean, cool, and provides great fishing! Big Bass Lake (290 acres) is accessible via Kayak through the small channel on the far southwest side of the lake. We do have a sandy shore with a dock. The beach area looks like Caribbean waters and you can swim here but swimming is best further out due to the marl (decomposed limestone) bottom/footing. We do provide a few blow-up tubes and rafts so that you can swim further out (located in the garage). There are also some life jackets available. Swim at your own risk.
We have a game cabinet for rainy days and/or evenings as well as some outdoor games. Outdoor games include the Washer Game, Giant Jenga, Croquet, Frisbee, Ladder Ball, Horseshoes, & Wiffle Ball. Inside, on the back porch, there is an entire cabinet full of games and puzzles. Some of the games include Uno, Monopoly, Sequence, Twister, Sorry, Connect Four, Checkers, Chess, Cribbage, Dominoes, Trivial Pursuit, several decks of playing cards, dice, and more!
Maximum number of guests is 6 people total in the winter months and 8 people total in the summer months. This is due to no heat upstairs. We do have window unit a/c for the summer. Your total amount of guests = adults + children combined. We do strictly enforce this rule due to previous experiences. We are sorry that we have to do this. We reserve the right to terminate your stay early without a refund and charge for additional people if this rule is not adhered to. Please be sure to read the rental agreement that is automatically sent to you once you book to review this policy & other rules in more detail. Exterior Ring security cameras in place.
