Firefly Cottages on Bass Lake | Sandy Frontage, Dock, Kayaks, Near Downtown TC
Welcome to the Firefly Cottages on Bass Lake, a warm and inviting lakefront escape designed for slow mornings, sun-filled lake days, and cozy evenings by the fire.
Certificate # STR-012946
This unique property features two charming cottages with a total of 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, comfortably sleeping up to six guests—ideal for small families, couples traveling together, or a quiet Northern Michigan retreat.
Step outside and you’ll find 61 feet of sandy-bottom lake frontage, perfect for swimming, wading, or simply soaking in the peaceful setting. Spend your days paddling the provided kayaks, relaxing on the dock, grilling dinner on the propane grill, or gathering around the fire pit as the sun sets.
While the setting feels tucked away and tranquil, you’re only a 15-minute drive to downtown Traverse City, the Grand Traverse Commons, beaches, hiking trails, and some of the area’s best restaurants, shops, and local experiences—offering the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience.
Whether you’re planning to catch the cherry blossoms in spring, have a summer lake getaway, a cozy fall weekend, or a simple escape to unwind, the Firefly Cottages are a place to slow down and savor being Up North!
