Stayed here for a golf trip. The house and views were great. The perfect spot for a lake getaway. Stacy was very responsive and we enjoyed the stay. 5 stars

Thank you Ben for your kind words! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay!
We had a wonderful time with family at the cottage. The lake is shallow and was fairly quiet when we were there. Stacey is very responsive to questions.

We are so glad you were able to enjoy your time at our place!
The cottage was just what we needed. It was plenty big enough for 5 adults and 2 kids. The lake was great for my granddaughters for swimming and the sandy bottom worked out well. Had everything we needed as far for cooking, rooms of a good size. We went the sand dune clime and butterfly zoo in traverse city. Stacey was great to work with. Will go back for sure next year.
We had an amazing long stay at this beautiful cottage on the north shore of Bear Lake. Being able to wake up to this lake view every morning was truly spectacular. This spacious cottage had everything we needed for our stay, with a lot of added bonuses, such as unlimited firewood for the lakeside fire pit. It is definitely ideal for bigger families, and it was clean and quiet-- just what we needed! We felt so comfortable that we didn't want to leave! Stacey was extremely responsive throughout out stay and got back to us immediately with any questions or concerns. This is definitely a hidden gem in one of the most beautiful areas of northern Michigan!
It was like home away from home. Kitchen had the items I needed to cook every day for my family. Loved that the back wall facing the lake are all big picture windows - it's like lake living inside that we didn't have to go outside to enjoy the lake view. Can tell host had well thought out of a couple special items like the luggage rack and night lights (I always bring night lights whenever I travel). It was nice having a washer/dryer (they are new). Just some recommendations (does not affect the rating a bit) - would be nice if there were ice trays, nightstand with a lamp (main bedroom), hangers and hair dryer. Truly enjoyed our stay and very comfortable!

My husband and I own our lovely cottage on Bear Lake and want to share it with others. We live about 2 hours south in Grand Rapids, MI but love visiting Bear Lake every chance we get.
Why they chose this property
When we first visited Bear Lake we fell in love with the water. We love being on the boat, the clear water and shallow shoreline provides fun for everyone!
