Beautiful view for a peaceful getaway!
The view of water is amazing. Being able to sit outside on the beautiful Trex deck (no splinters) to eat and relax is priceless. The cabin is cute and clean. Anything you could need during your stay is already there.

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed eating on the deck overlooking the water and having a fire down by the lake in the evening. Marc is a very friendly and accommodating host.

Relaxation at its finest
This was in our top 3 most relaxing trips! The cottage was homey and comfortable for the two of us. The deck views are incredible. The lake is so clear and has some incredible fishing! We caught everything from small mouth, large mouth and rock bass to blue gill and pearch. The only downfall is the mosquitos after dark. Bring your bug spray!

Quaint cabin
When we arrived it was very easy check in. We liked that it had all of the amenities that we needed and more. I wasn’t able to contact the host in regards to a few suggestions. My small dog was able to climb under the futons where she found multiple m&ms and ended up ingesting them. We proceeded to pull back the futon and vacuumed underneath where we found many more food items. I did email the host but with no response. The dock was nice to fish off of and swim. Very beautiful piece of property.

Crooked Lake Getaway
Baby Bear was a wonderful getaway for us. We especially enjoyed meals on the deck, lounging by the fire and cruising around the lake on the boat. Marc was friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. Although we did some exploring, we were happy to just hang out at the cabin and relax.

Very private, quiet and peaceful location. It rained most of our stay, but the lake and leaves were so pretty. We had games, puzzles and lots of channels on the rain days. The manager was very friendly and even left us a little gift when we arrived. We really did have everything thing we needed except for food. Thanks for a wonderful visit.
