Sleeps Up To 10 People! Directly On The Pristine Sandy Bottom All Sports Lake!

This newly renovated cottage home is located on the pristine North Shore of beautiful Bear Lake! It has 50' of water frontage directly out the slider door. The lake has a sandy bottom and is shallow for a good distance off the shore making it great for families to relax and enjoy the warm shallow water in the summer. Relax on the large deck and enjoy all the lake has to offer. The cottage has a 14' aluminum boat, two kayaks, two paddle boards, along with rafts to relax on in the water. There are also water toys for the kids. There is a bonfire pit where you can enjoy a fire on a chilly night and the cottage does have a TV and Wi-Fi !

The main cottage can sleep 8 people. The first bedroom has a king bed, a bunk bed, and a slider that opens up to the deck. The second bedroom has a queen bed and the living area has a fold out sofa. There is one full bathroom located in the main house with a shower. One towel provided per guest with hand towels.

There is also a guest area in the detached garage that can sleep 4 that has a full bedroom with bunk bed(full bed on the bottom and twin on top) and a separate full sized bed as well. There is also a 1/2 bath with sink and toilet out in that living area along with a futon bed in the walkway.

We feel that Bear Lake is a well kept secret. It is close to everything in Northwest Michigan while giving you the peace and seclusion of lake living at the same time. It is a fantastic spot for a family gathering, golf getaway, or just needed time away to enjoy the outdoors. The lake features 1,800 acres with a sandy bottom and little boat traffic. This makes it great for fishing, skiing/wakeboarding/tubing, boating/sailing, and swimming. This cottage is very well-kept with everything needed to make your vacation enjoyable!

No pets and no smoking please.

Please feel free to message me with any questions.

Thanks!

Perfect week on Bear Lake
Bear lake is a beautiful sandy bottom lake with lots of shallow water for the kids to float and play in. We brought our own pontoon and many times we had the lake to ourselves. With boating during the day and lake front campfires at night we only left once to golf Arcadia Bluffs (only 6 miles away). If you are not use to well water I would just bring plenty of water but we found everything we need at Saddle Up grocery store. Would recommend this house!!

Accommodations were great. I was glad to see there was basic amenities such as TP, kleene x, dish so
And other items, Although I did bring my own. We had a fruit fly hatching the last couple days so had to get rid of most of our fruit which was OK. Over all it was a wonderful time!

AMAZING AND RESTFUL FAMILY HOLIDAY
This cottage was the perfect get away spot for our family of 10. We loved being on the lakefront, the sunny days, the shallow water for the grand babies to splash in, the two kayaks and boat. The cottage itself was clean, welcoming and well supplied. The owners communicated in a timely manner. All we can say is we would return in heartbeat! Five star recommendation!

Great week at Bear Lake!
As always we really enjoyed our time at the lake house at Bear Lake! The cottage is clean and spacious - plenty of room for our gang of 10. We enjoyed the kayaking, boating, and swimming, and even rented a jet ski for the day! And it's easy to visit Lake Michigan which is only 10 minutes away. Nathan is a very helpful host. We couldn't ask for anything more and will be back next year!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RENTAL
Bear Lake is a great area to vacation. Our family really enjoyed our time there. Plenty to do yet easy to relax and take in the peaceful setting. The lake was almost to ourselves during the week. The house is clean and well kept. It met all of our needs. The owners were great. Great communication with them through the whole process of our stay. We intend to be back.

Great lake cottage
The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood on the lake, with shallow water perfect for kids to swim and kayak. From this location, we were able to easily drive to Manistee, Onekama, and Frankfort for dining and shopping. The living spaces were just what we needed for a family vacation, and the deck was huge with lots of seating. The kitchen was small but functional, and we didn't do any major meal prep, there was good pizza at Grille 44 close by. We only used the bedrooms in the main cottage...my older kids liked the idea of staying in the separate bedroom, but once they saw it, they weren't too sure...but there was plenty of room for the 5 of us in the main house. It was a great place to spend our week!
