I used to love visiting Bass Lake when I was younger. Overall, the stay was okay, but left much to be desired.
The chalet we stayed in was in need of a deep cleaning. Dust on the furniture, thick dust on the AC/heater units, cobwebs on the kitchen sconces & bedroom, dirty kitchen appliances, dirty/dingy white bedding and a clogged bath and bath sink. Maintenance did respond quickly but a fix it ticket isn’t the responsibility of paying customers. There was a lot of cigarette/pot smoking around the lodging and restaurants, kinda ruins sitting on the deck at the chalet and dining on the patio. The food and service at Ducey’s bar and grill was great. The patio seating gave a beautiful view of the lake. Unfortunately, the food at Ducey’s restaurant for my husband’s birthday was poor and the service was “meh.” My steak was a slab of fat and my husband’s fish was rubbery with an overpriced glass of ice as a cocktail. The lake view window was filthy and the window shade was covered in grime and food. The resort needs some cleaning, “rustic” does not mean dirty. I will not return to the lake chalet’s or Ducey’s restaurant. I’m glad I have fond memories at Bass Lake, but this last one was a bit of a bummer.
