We loved our stay at the Bear Lake cottage!

August 2024

The cottage was clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. All rooms were comfortable and roomy, a perfect space for 4 adults. Our host responded instantly to all of our questions and needs--this was especially appreciated. He brought a gas grill for us to use as well. The site is tucked in the woods and really quiet. We had no encounters and heard no noise from neighbors. Being slightly north of Bear Lake was a great location, easy drives to Sleeping Bear Dunes and to kayaking and fishing on the Manistee River. It was great to have a trouble-free, comfortable place to enjoy a Michigan getaway. You should reserve this spot early, I'm sure it books up!
