Minutes southwest of downtown Traverse City, Namaste Island is located in the middle of all-sports Bass Lake and hides a renovated cabin on 7+ acres of wooded paradise. Some 900 feet from shore, this private island is a luxury retreat that offers privacy and a place to relax and recharge. A mainland lot provides some parking and a public boat launch is visible from the island. The cabin sleeps six when rented weekly and boasts modern amenities, including a gourmet kitchen, a full sized stackable washer and dryer in the utility room, and a full bath with tub and shower. The pine interior, with original wood floors and ceramic tile, gives you that cozy cabin glow, enhanced by a natural, wood-burning fireplace. Have coffee or cocktails on a balcony off the loft. Stroll along the walking paths crisscrossing the island and pick blueberries in July. You can fish for giant bluegill, bass and pike from the pier. The nice outhouse is convenient when you are playing outdoors. Take yourselves on a boat tour of 344-acre Bass Lake and leaf peep in the fall. Look forward to magnificent sunrises and watch sunsets from the west-facing deck. From your bed you can fall asleep to moonlight and stars reflected in the crystal-clear lake. From the mainland, it is an easy drive to performances at Interlochen Center for the Arts, area wineries and TC restaurants and shopping – and just a 30-minute drive to Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes. As guests have remarked: This island is truly special. It has incredible energy! Most furnishings are included and a pontoon boat is for sale.
