All located a short drive from Traverse City and the Leelanau Peninsula where you can enjoy the winery’s and brewery’s that this area is well known for. Ball’s Bearadise is located less that a quarter mile from the ORV/Snowmobile trails that extend across all of Northern Michigan. The cottage (built in the 1940’s) has the old rustic charm with many updated amenities. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. 2 bedrooms upstairs are each equipped with a queen bed. The third bedroom is on the walk out basement level and is set up like a bunk room with 1 queen bed and 2 sets of bunk beds. One of the bunk beds has a full bed on the bottom. There is a bathroom on each level. The shoreline has a beautiful sandy bottom and is one of the largest beach areas on the lake great for all your water activities.

There are 2 excellent restaurants less than a mile from the cottage Bear Lake Inn (Dingmans) is a great spot to get lunch or dinner with fantastic food options. You can enjoy a little night life if you choose as well with a great bar where the locals and vacationers meet. Shirleys in the woods is another excellent option for homemade food and they are known for their breakfast. There is a gas station and a Dollar General for any last minute items you may need. We have owned in this area for over 20 years and can fill you in on options to help you plan your getaway or just relax by the waters edge in our little slice of heaven we call “Bearadise”.
