Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2002
My husband Dave grew up spending his summers at his Grandparents cottage on Bear Lake. I grew up in the Detroit area, not knowing such crystal clear water existed anywhere in Michigan. I fell in love with Bear Lake instantly. When our family started to grow, we were fortunate enough to find our own cottage on the lake. All tolled, we've enjoyed 25 summers on Bear Lake together. We'd like to share this treasure with you.
