THE SPACE:

Nestled right on Bass Lake in National City, this charming and beautifully-renovated 2-level lakefront home offers everything you need for a peaceful escape or a fun-filled weekend with family and friends! First and foremost, the home has a natural gas forced air furnace to keep it cozy in the winter and it also has central air conditioning to keep it cool in the summer.

The main level welcomes you with an open-concept kitchen and living room flooded with natural light, seamlessly connecting you to stunning, panoramic lake views. Step out onto the expansive walk-out deck directly from the living room or the primary bedroom—it is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or watch the sunset over the quiet water. Two comfortable, beautifully appointed main-floor bedrooms offer a restful night's sleep after a day out on the lake.

Head downstairs to discover the ultimate recreation area. Mix drinks at the well-appointed wet bar or cozy up on the sectional sofas on cooler Michigan evenings. This entertaining space walks out directly into a protected, enclosed porch and a covered patio, giving you year-round outdoor access just steps from the water’s edge. A third bedroom, a second full bathroom, and a dedicated laundry area on the lower level make extended stays comfortable and convenient.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD:

The neighborhood consists mostly of recreational second homes along the 8 inland lakes that are all close together in the area. It is a rather laid-back, easy-going, quiet, peaceful, and relaxing area.

Outside of the immediate neighborhood, National City is located in Iosco County just inland from Tawas Bay. It is a peaceful, nature-rich destination in Northern Michigan. It is an ideal escape for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a tranquil environment near the Huron National Forest, the Shore to Shore Trail, and the local inland lakes. There is not a whole lot in the town itself, but there are a couple of restaurants in town.

GUEST ACCESS:

Guests have access to the entire property, except for the detached garage.

TRANSIT:

It is highly recommended that guests have their own means of transportation.
