Why Steven Dove chose Northeast
This property was purchased in 2009, and rebuilt in 2011. The home is brand new and is located on one of the most amazing lakes in northern Michigan.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We had a GREAT time at your lovely chalet. It was exactly as pictured, and very cozy and comfortable. We had all rain and cold weather, but we didn't mind a bit. Just snuggled up with books and alternating cups of cocoa and glasses of wine. Lovely!
The nicest surprise was the wonderful dog tie-out. We weren't expecting such convenience! It was so nice just to step outside and hook the pooch up. After one high-energy run down to the end of the line (and subsequent flight), she got the hang of it and enjoyed having some freedom.
We would love to return another time when the weather permits us to wander a bit further.

Wonderful!

Everything it was described to be and then some!
What a wonderful charming cabin! Upon walking in the front door it was a great first impression, the view out the back towards the lake and spotless inside. Just looking around at the craftmanship of the cabin it was impressing. We took our entire family kids and parents up with us and everyone enjoyed the stay. Kids swimming in the clear lake, parents enjoyed the wonderful tree top deck overlooking the lake, and myself fishing. That is the only thing that I can say I wished was different was that I didn't catch the first fish but hey, that's fishing I guess. Steve, the owner has to be one of the most personal people that I have ever done business with. Prompt to reply to any question, very professional, and just all around a class act! It was a breath of fresh air to actually find someone that has not lost the ability to provide customer service at the highest level. We are for sure going to try and get back to this cabin every chance we get!
Perfect family vacation spot!
We just finished up a full week at Little Bear Lakehouse... this was our 2nd trip up to this LBLH and it's wonderful! Beautiful house with the quintessential "Up North Cabin" feel. Everything you could ever need (aside from food) is provided by the owner Steve. My family had so much fun relaxing, fishing, cooking our own meals, and roasting marshmallows at the camp fire. We stayed here in September of 2016, again this May 2017, and can't wait to return this September and every year after!
Holiday weekend !
Our stay at the home was excellent and the amenities were exactly as stated online and then some.The owner was great to work with and very helpful.The house was very clean and well maintained and the view of the lakefront was incredible.We would recommend this house to anyone for a nice relaxing getaway or family vacation.
Holiday weekend!
This was our second stay at Little Bear Lake House. We stay here because it is exactly half way between my house in Ohio and my son's house in the upper peninsula. It sure beats staying in a hotel! Little Bear Lake House is impeccably clean and furnished! The view of the lake with the snowy trees was stunning! We cooked a full Thanksgiving meal and had everything we needed! Gaylord is charming and just a quick trip with plenty to see and do this time of year. Steve Dove is very professional and very easy to deal with. Thanks for everything, we will be back!
Fall On the Lake
We stayed here from October 14th-16th while attending a Jeep club event. House was very clean and the view over the lake was awesome. Very quiet neighborhood. House was stocked with everything you need. Enjoyed our stay very much! Thanks again!
Beautiful stay in northern Michigan
We stayed at Little Bear Lake House 8/27/16 - 9/3/16. The house was exactly as advertised on VRBO if not better, the house seemed actually bigger in person than the photos showed. Everything was very very clean upon arrival. The kitchen was well equipped, linen closet stocked, and there were plenty of extras provided such as paper towel, TP, laundry soaps, and the like.
Little Bear Lake is a very beautiful lake. Its smaller than the neighboring Big Bear Lake (go figure right?) so I think the majority of the boat traffic is on Big Bear, making Little Bear a nice relaxing quiet lake with minimal boat traffic. There wasn't much of a beach but what there was was all sand and the swimming was great off the dock, very sandy. We didn't use the canoe or the row boat provided because I brought up my own fishing boat, but those seemed fine.
The only thing I'd say could be an improvement would be the addition of WiFi, but then again, it was nice to kind of unplug from the world and spend quality family time together.
All in all, we will definitely be coming back!!!
