We renovated this home through the spring of '18 and are so thrilled to have it ready for you! Sitting less than 30-feet from the sandy bottom of Bass Lake, this house is a charmer in all seasons. In the winter months, enjoy snowshoeing across the lake and come home to a cozy fire. In the warmer months, this all-sports lake is ready for swimming, fishing, and all things fresh-water. We hope you feel welcomed and relaxed at Little Elk Cottage! @littleelkcottage KITCHEN + LIVING ROOM: The kitchen and living room have an open concept. The kitchen is outfitted with all the essentials to make your stay comfortable. The living room has the comfiest sofa on the planet, two accent chairs, a Samsung Frame TV, and gas fireplace. There's a queen-sized air mattress in the living room closet for your convenience to act as another sleeping spot if you're in a pinch. BEDROOM 1: The first bedroom has a queen bed, side-tables, two lamps, closet, and a view to the lake. BEDROOM 2: The second bedroom has two twin beds, a side table, lamp, and clothing rack. BATHROOM: The bathroom contains a subway tiled shower, hexagon tiled floor, Carrera marble vanity, toilet, and a stacked washer and dryer. The washer and dryer are there for your convenience, so feel free to use them as needed during your stay. THE LAKES: Little Elk Cottage sits along the shores of Bass Lake. The sandy-bottom lake is quiet, with most people choosing to bring their boats and water sports to Elk Lake, which is less than a mile to the east of Bass. However, if you'd like to access Bass Lake by boat, the boat ramp and park are directly beside our home! Elk Lake is another beautiful option for spending your day on if you'd like a larger, deeper body of water. Rent a boat from Elk River Marina and cruise the deep, Caribbean blue waters. Elk Lake has a depth of 192 ft, making it the second deepest lake in Michigan, second only to Torch Lake which lies directly to its east. To the west of Little Elk Cottage lies the East Arm of Grand Traverse Bay, which is a bay of Lake Michigan. Travel less than a mile into the town of Elk Rapids to find access to the bay and sit down for a picnic at Veterans' Memorial Park after you've picked up lunch at Cellar 152\.
