I've visited Bass Lake a million times over the years and I think that everyone has heard of The Pines Resort. Recently my family and I decided to book a chalet. We arrived early and they were totally accommodating. To our surprise they had overbooked the chalets but they upgraded us to a suite free of charge. We had a great time! It is so peaceful and quiet, we got to swim, we had a perfect view of Bass Lake from our room. We had an encounter with a black bear in the parking lot and we even got to feed a family of raccoons. The wildlife encounter might not be typical for everyone but as soon as we heard that wild animals do venture through at night we knew we had to go looking. We DEFINITELY didn't leave disappointed. It was everything we had hoped for and more. They even offered us an extra night for 50% off and if we didn't have work/school the following day we would've jumped on it. We will most certainly be back and we surely recommend the pines to anyone who's looking for a nice little get away from the craziness of the city.
