Top Bass Lake Hotel Reviews

Bass Lake Views & Access. Walk Downtown Elk Rapids.

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay in Elk Rapids was wonderful, clean, and cozy! The location is perfect—easily within walking distance to town (under a mile) and right across the street from Bass Lake, where we loved playing cards by the water.The town is incredibly kid- and dog-friendly. We walked to the free Monday night movies, the Wednesday street vendor market, and the Friday morning farmers market. Short’s Brewing is only a half-mile walk for great beer and food trucks, and there are three beaches within a 15-minute walk (plus many more a short drive away).Carley was a fantastic, attentive host. The rental is attached to the main house, and her family and dogs are lovely. My only minor note is that the shower is quite small with a slight weak spot in the floor—worth mentioning for larger guests—but we loved our stay and can't wait to return!"

A Short's Walk - Sandy Lakefront with Spa / Hot Tub and Kayaks!

10/10 Excellent

"We truly enjoyed our stay in Elk Rapids. The host was very responsive. Access to the home was easy. The home was clean, had comfortable beds and the lakefront view was fabulous. We could fish and float/swim right off of the front of the house--the area is a sandy bottom, which was very nice. There are two kayaks provided, which was awesome and we enjoyed using those on the lake. They also provided several bikes, so we could bike into Elk Rapids and around the area, which was fun. The beach across M31 on Lake Michigan is very close and a great place to enjoy a beach and catch a sunset. Furthermore, you have close and easy access to great places to eat and shop. The hot tub is an extra bonus for sure! We would stay again!"

Dexter Hotel

8/10 Good

"The check in process was very frustrating. I arrived around 7:00pm and there were no employees on site. I never received a check in link and walked around the building until I found a QR code but still needed an access code. I had to call customer service for help. This took about 15 minutes in total. I finally entered inside and the building was very nice. There’s a bar that not yet finished. So there aren’t really any amenities. The room was clean but had an odd smell. Similar to cooked broccoli. There was a shared door to the neighboring room and it is PAPER THIN. The people in the neighboring room were drunk and loud. The bed itself was comfortable but the pillows were flat. The bathroom is very nice and the room is spacious. However, the shower ran out of hot water for a few minutes. This happened twice. The location was close to the downtown and marina which made walking around convenient. I voiced my complaints to the company and they offered a 10% off my next stay which the place already feels a bit overpriced. Overall, the hotel is nice if all you’re looking for is a place to sleep in the area. Just be prepared if you show up to check in past 6:00pm and pray you don’t have noisy neighbors."

Waterfront Lakehouse - Completely Remodeled - Watersports + Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"This lake front house was spacious and beautiful! The house was spacious and modern with all the amenities you would need. The rooms were clean and the house overall was well kept. The kitchen had all the supplies you could need and plenty of everything which was appreciated! We had a couple hiccups when we were there but the host was efficient in responding and helping out. The outdoor area of the house had kayaks and paddle boards to enjoy the lake as well as plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the view. There were plenty of beach towels and life jackets as well. The firepit was great too and the host had marshmallow sticks ready for us too. Overall it was an amazing house and a great trip. We would recommend!"
