Family Trip
The log cabin was very nice and felt just like home! There were plenty of extras left for us to use: toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, detergent, hand soap, games, books, blankets, nice small appliances, pots, pans, and cutlery. I’ve stayed at a lot of vacation rentals and this one had all the things we needed. A few things to add: There is only one queen bedroom on the main floor and then a back room with two sets of bunk beds and a sofa bed. Up a steep flight of stairs are two full/queen bedrooms and one bedroom with a full and twin bunk bed set. These three bedrooms do not have full walls and are not private. It was ok for our group but was also hard for our kids to fall asleep if other family members were in the dining room playing a game or a family member that is a snorer. The bathrooms both had large steps to step up into the shower tub. Lastly, we rented a pontoon boat and were not able to tie it to the dock because the water is too shallow by the dock. We had to tie the boat to a bouy and walk through the lake to get to the dock. This was a challenge for one of our older parents and a pain to transport items to the boat. It is shallow enough to walk and the lake floor is made of sand. Just wanted to mention it as we paid a lot of money to rent the boat (from Bass Lake Rental) and it definitely hampered our use of the boat. If I would have known that information ahead of time, I probably would not have rented it. The neighbors do not like renters there.

Great location and the lake is so pretty!
Didn't know a lake like this existed right there! It was peaceful and just what we needed for a retreat. The houses are close together but that wasn't a problem for us. Plenty of room to spread out in the house and outside and seating outside was great. The inflatable mattresses that were part of the sleeping arrangements were pretty thin, wish we had known that so that we could have brought our own. However, it was one night so not a huge problem. Plenty of kitchen items (not always a guarantee in a rental) and seating. Loved it!

Great stay- reviews were helpful.
We had a great stay at Unity Cabin. The kitchen is well stocked and plenty of seating for our group of 10. We wanted to note that although VRBO lists a hot tub, there is no hot tub. This was unfortunate as it was a search criteria we were looking for when planning. The reviews are helpful to read and accurate. As noted by others, there’s not a lot of privacy in the upstairs rooms and noise travels throughout the house. We were a mixed group and it was hard to find a good place for kids going to sleep earlier. The sleeper sofas are also - predictably pretty uncomfortable and likely need to just be retired or not presented as an option. Otherwise, everything was wonderful and communication with the host was easy.

Great cozy modern cabin
This was the perfect place for a group of 5. All 5 bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen was very nice and had great cookware/appliances. Everything is clean and functional while still charmingly cozy. The Wi-Fi is good and the couches are comfy. We would absolutely stay here again. Some advice: 1) Bring earplugs or a sound machine, especially if anyone is staying in the bedroom at the top of the stairs (it has a cutaway wall, and sound carries well). 2) The local grocery store is quite minimal and did not have some items we considered to be basic (asparagus, raspberries, logs of mozzarella cheese, balsamic vinegar), so plan ahead. 3) The stairs are a bit tricky/slippery and would be hard for someone with mobility issues.

Great sibling reunion at Unity Cabin
We are a family of 9 adult siblings and spent 4 nights at the Unity Cabin on Bass Lake. Our experience in the cabin was comfortable and well supplied and stocked with what we needed for our stay. The views and porch could not have been more spectacular on the lake and well positioned on the lake for a quiet respite from the hustle and hectic normal lives of the city. We are grateful for small things like enough plugs for electronics, enough soap and shampoo and laundry supplies. Paper products of all sorts were a bonus keeping us from having to go to the store off property. We found the cabin in great order and quite clean. Thank you for a wonderful sibling reunion. We highly recommend this property for anyone who is reading this. We are owners of 10 VRBO properties in Chicago and are extremely knowledgeable of what is takes to be an owner of a vacation property.

I wish I would have read the reviews about the road
This lake house was beautiful, but I wish I would have read the reviews about the road the runs between the house and the accompanying beach! We had hoped to put floaties on our littles and allow them to run around, but couldn’t do that with a road. It was very nerve wracking. It’s a busy road, too. Otherwise it’s a beautiful home. The steps to the back door aren’t to code, which made it difficult for my elderly mother to access it without help. The home is well-stocked and beds are quite comfortable. A/C works great. But, the water tastes “funny.” We brought bottled water so it wasn’t too big of a deal. Just something to note. Make sure you have the access code to the lock box saved somewhere besides your phone. Cell service is spotty, but thankful for excellent WiFi.

some surprises
Enjoyed our stay. The beds were bad especially the sleeper sofas but we used air matresses. There weren't any beach towels either. There is a road between the house and beach which isn't obvious in the pictures but we found out earlier and brought things to do in the water and on the beach. The lake has a long beach area so there is no need to worry about little kids.The kitchen is well stocked and we appreciated the two coffee pots!

Enjoyable Stay
We had 10 adults stay for a long weekend. We really enjoyed our stay and thought the lake was nice. It’s all sand bottom, but very shallow. We could stand in the middle. They had several restaurants on the lake, which was cool. The neighborhood was nice, but it was clear that the neighbors next door were not partial to renters. The house was nice, but the bedrooms were not really very private. The upstairs bedrooms were all open at the top so when one person is up, everyone can hear that person. The only there thing that was somewhat misleading is the lake is right across the street so if you have littles, beware. The cars don’t go fast, maybe 15 mph, but it’s a high traffic area. Make sure you read the fine print in terms of pricing for this house. Even though it claims to sleep in the 20s, it charges you for over 4 people per night. That adds up quickly. Also, comfortably, you could fit 12 adults in beds, otherwise you are sleeping on pull out couches and air mattresses. Allen was very easy to work with and responded to any messages almost instantly. The house was well stocked with whatever you needed. It was clean and overall, we very much enjoyed our stay and would go back.

Solid family vacation
Overall, pretty solid family vacation. Bass lake had its advantages and disadvantage if your an avid boater. You CAN’T dock a boat or jet ski at this property. It’s only 1-1.5 feet deep for about 400-600 yards from the dock itself. You must anchor at that depth and walk to the dock. Very convenient for those with little kids as this provided a great play area and float/hangout area for adults. House is much smaller than advertised and should be listed for around 15-16 people. The lake itself is not setup for avid boaters that like to tube//ski/wakeboard or surf. Very shallow overall. Boat ramp is very unsatisfactory. Owners were quick to respond and easy to deal with. Be careful of extra costs for groups over 4. Price doesn’t adjust on website for number of people traveling so this will be added later.

Clean, comfortable and well stocked cabin
We take an annual lake trip with a group of 12 and so bass lake was our choice this year! The cabin is very spacious, clean and comfortable. The kitchen as well as bathrooms and supplies where completely stocked. We usually have to bring additional towels, toilet paper, paper, towels, etc. but that was not the case here everything was plentiful. Check in and check out process was simple and good communication with owner. Shower and tub were difficult to maneuver because of high steps that some could not take. All in all very nice location. Clean beach area with water access. Would definitely stay here again.

We were very happy with the cabin.
The kitchen was completely stocked for Christmas baking and big family dinners. We brought our own items and didn’t need them. The house was a perfect size for us. My only complaint is that the listing is for a 5 bedroom house that sleeps 28 but you get charged $25 per person after 4 people every single day. That cost more than the nightly stay. I’ve never rented a place that does this My kids said it was their best Christmas ever!

We loved the log cabin look!. The neighbors were helpful and friendly. It was a lovely place to walk around the lake. The cabin was VERY clean! It was tastefully decorated. There were lots of dishes, pans, and whatever you needed for the kitchen. The laundry tubs were huge and well supplied. Beds were comfortable and air conditioning worked well. Lots of seating for the 12 of us. The canoe was a really nice one with backs on the seats. Lots of chairs around the beach area and fire pit. One thing we would do if we go again is bring our bikes or rent a golf cart. People drive slowly and lots of golf carts on the road. And when inside the cabin it was very quiet. The grill is super large and worked well. We would definately rent again.

Great for a large family that wants to stay together. Large living room dining area combination with table that seated 12 for Us. . My only suggestion would be a second refrigerator in the laundry room to accommodate large registrations. The steps are steep and the bottom step blends perfectly with the floor so several of us almost fell thinking we were at the floor when we were not.

Lake and Location Perfect For My Family
My family spent 3 nights, hubby, me, my 3 sons and their gf's. We loved the lake. I've spent time as a kid at lake geneva and I absolutely loved this sand bottom shallow lake. We rented a boat from Double D on the other side of the lake (pontoon) which was just a boat and pretty old but tubing was a little challenging due to the lake shallowness. Still was fun and we made due. The house itself was phenomenal. Lots of space and well stocked. I can't think of anything we didn't have. I felt like the location of this house was the best on the lake. There are 2 places walkable to eat which is great, maybe not the hours for our family but still a nice option. I highly recommend for family's with young kids and also teens. 4th of July time was alot if fun. Very friendly people too. Golf cart would have been fun since everyone has one.
