Located steps away from the all sport lake, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Johannesburg house can’t be beat! Enjoy the fall colors of Northern Michigan by sitting on the cottage deck, walking the sandy beach, or shopping in Gaylord or Lewiston.

Excellent. Nice having washer dryer, and everything you have at home to use is here to use. Kayak was great, didn't use paddle board or canoe. Owners were great answered all questions. They were courteous and gave us recommendations for things to do around the area. If I visited that area again I would definitely go back. Definitely recommend. Also we had to stop back to get an item that was left and it was given to us when we got back. Thanks again.

We had a wonderful time both in and out of the cottage at Big Bear Lake. The game room was great for darts, pool, and watching movies with the family. And we absolutely loved the paddle board and kayak for trips around the lake. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of room for everyone. It had everything we needed and more!!
