Lake Michigan views! Complimentary housekeeping with monthly stays Mar-Apr.

Being by the lake produces a feeling of relaxation and you can sense it pretty easily in this easy going place called Two Rivers, and especially right here at the Smiling Bear Cabin. There are many nearby hiking and XCSki/Showshoeing trails including ice age trail segments, and wonderful beach and picnicking spots. Staying at the Smiling Bear puts you at the heart of everything available in the area and gives you a nice place to call home and make great family memories.

Our place sits on 1/3 acre, across the road from Lake Michigan and the Mariner's Trail, which runs along the coastline. The way our home is angled, you can see the lake from much of the yard and just about every room of the house. We have Swings, Volleyball, Croquet, Badminton, & Sidewalk Chalk! We have a Fire-Pit and a Wood Shed [which may or may not have firewood at any given time]. To round out the outdoor fun, we have a huge Wrap Around Deck w/Gas Grill [Propane Provided], Picnic Table, Patio Table w/Umbrella, and extra chairs.

Inside home layout is ideal w/Open Concept KT/Dining/LR so everyone can enjoy one anothers company during family cooking and cleanup time in our well stocked kitchen. Access Deck from Patio Doors or back kitchen door making a convenient round robin layout perfect for entertaining. Main floor laundry for guest use.
Our fully equipped KT includes Gas Stove, Refrigerator w/Water & Ice Dispenser, Dishwasher, Microwave, Wine Cooler, Coffeemaker, Crockpots, blender, beaters, pots & pans, utensils, glassware, bakeware et al. We have some specialties like a melon baller, garlic press, lemon zester, etc to add pizazz to your cooking experience.

Secured High Speed WiFi, and Dish TV including A&E and Discovery Channel [w/upgrade for sports channels available upon request]. We have books, games, and binoculars! Enjoy watching the SS Badger Carferry or other boats coast along the horizon. Play board games at the large dining table. Wonderful place for family together time.
For Sleeping Arrangements, there is a Main Floor Bedroom w/King Size Bed, and 3 more Bedrooms Upstairs. 2 of the upper Bedrooms have 1 Queen Size Bed per room. The 3rd upstairs BR has 2 Double Beds. There is a Hotel Grade Sofa Sleeper in LR. We do have a basic fold-up canvas cot with it’s own little home-made sheet set, .

Nicely appointed and equipped house
Our family enjoyed our stay in this vacation home. It is nicely decorated and the kitchen is well stocked. The outdoor area is ample and pleasant. The owner was attentive to our questions and needs. Since we had young children in our group, we found the visits to the zoo, mini-golf and the beach which are all close by, added to our fun.

Vacation Two Rivers
We have stayed at this property every summer for a week for about ten years now. We love that it's big enough for all 14 of us. The backyard grill area and deck are used constantly. The women and kids love Neshotah beach and the guys are fishing on lake Michigan. Also Property manager Rosalie is great to work with. Always gets everything taken care of swiftly. Going back next summer.

Ladies Book Club Getaway
We were a group of seven women who are in a book club together and for this month's meeting we decided to have a girls weekend on Lake Michigan! The cabin was easy to find, access and we all had our own space. Towels were fluffy and there were plenty of supplies for what we needed. Kitchen was clean and we utilized the oven and coffee maker for breakfast and the table was perfect for our group to play games and eat. We did use Outburst from the shelf and had a blast. We also played the headline game and had fun as well; thank you for having extra games! Water was hot for all of our showers and the water pressure was great. We were right off of Lake Michigan and the views were wonderful. We went into both Two Rivers and Manitowoc and enjoyed the restaurants, beaches, bookshops and other local businesses. Would recommend and would visit again!

Just what we were looking for!
Great location with lake views and close to walking/bike path. We enjoyed our relaxing stay spending every day by the lake and exploring many good nearby restaurants. Although the house was too big for the two of us it was cozy, relaxing and clean. Thanks to our host and hope to return soon!

The home worked out great for our family to enjoy the TNF Packers game (except for the game result). Only 45 minutes from GB and we were able to go back the next day to enjoy the HOF. We would stay again.

We have rented this house every summer for about 10 years now. The guys love salmon and trout fishing on Lake Michigan and the girls love Neshotah Beach. Great place to spend time with family and friends around the campfire. The host is great and is very quick to respond to any problem at all. Will definitely book next year!

Awesome Thanksgiving by Lake Michigan
We had a wonderful stay with family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving 2022- and this property was the perfect place for it. Every morning we enjoyed the sunrises over the lake. We enjoyed the sites in Two Rivers and Manitowoc and spent most days at the house enjoying good food and games. A very relaxing week indeed!
