Grant’s Resort- Part Two

These two photographs provide you with an “in and out” view of Grant’s Resort including the common cook-out area. As promised in my post yesterday, here are the rates for lodging at this resort year-round.

$48 per night or $285 per week for either of the two smaller cabins. (Sleeps five.) $56 per night or $335 per week for the larger cabin. (Sleeps eight.) Each cabin rental includes a rowboat perfect for fishing or exploring the lake. Four kayaks and a fire-pit are shared between the three cabins.

You can call the resort at (231) 266-5679 or (231) 510-2496 to make your reservation. They also have a Facebook page where you can view all three cottages and their accommodations. Give them a try sometime.

Grant’s Resort- Part One

Grant’s Resort is located on the north side of Big Bass Lake in close proximity to where the Dinty Moore Resort one stood. It is opened year-round and has three cottages for rent.

Being on Big Bass Lake means it’s easy to swim and fish right from the docks. They have row boats and kayaks available, and you can bring your own boats and jet skis. Tether them in the water right in front of your cabin after launching them from the lake’s public boat launch just a mile down the road. That was right next to our former property just to he west.

They also have a fire-pit ready for cookouts and s’mores. Being out there at night brings a whole new meaning to the word wonderous especially if the moon is fully out. I will have more on this resort tomorrow including the rates.

The Cottages of Grant’s Resort

Hmm? I wonder which of these three cottages is the best to stay at when at Grant’s Resort?   Apryl is a regular reader of this website and she raves about this resort located on the north side of Big Bass Lake so I wonder what cottage she favors and why? 

I also wonder how often all three are booked during the year?  Are they as busy in fall and winter as they are in the summer?  Do hunters and snowmobilers,. not to mention ice fishermen, frequent the resort?  And how close in proximity is this resort to the former Dinty Moore Resort on the same lake?  Maybe Kent can enlighten us on that last point.

What do summer visitors do at the resort?  How is the resort swimming beach?  I suppose that this is a do it yourself post in that much of what might be forthcoming will be coming from YOUR comments on these questions.  So, what are you waiting for?

Grant’s Resort on Big Bass Lake

Grant’s Resort, located on the north side of Big Bass Lake, has been another allusive entity until only just recently for me.  There isn’t much about this facility on the Internet, let alone  photograph of the place, that is until Apryl supplied me with this picture and some information about this resort.  I have tried calling the phone number connected to this resort (231-266-5679) for a few days but all I have ever gotten was voice mail.  I had hoped to get the resorts history so maybe some reader f ours will supply that data for us by way of a comment.

Apryl informs us that this resort has 3 cottages, two have two bedrooms and the big cabin has two bedrooms, a fold out couch and a futon on the screened in porch. They do supply row boats for each cabin. And I believe they are open year round as the cabins have furnaces. No televisions or phones.  The owner is Audrey Grant however her son pretty much runs it now and he checks in every day.   When Apryl  first started going when there when she was little, there was no hot water or even a shower, so her family had to take baths in the lake!

And this info will have to suffice until some of our readers provide us with even more.  I’m glad that we have this to promote Grant’s Resort as several comments each year have asked about cottage rental on Big Bass Lake.  By the way, I like the nice touch of having a small tent situated just before one of those cottages. 

Big Bass Lake Resort

This is an old picture of a resort on the north side of Big Bass Lake. I know nothing about this so that I hope our audience might know something about it? Let us know by way of a comment.

I know that there have been a couple of resorts on Big Bass Lake, chief among them Dinty Moore’s Resort on the north end of the lake and The Peacock Resort on the southwest side of the lake. Let us know if other resorts existed over the course of time at Big Bass Lake.
