Derrick was great! Super pretty historic house in a great location. Had a great list of things to do around town or nearby and was always quick to respond if we had any questions. Would recommend staying here to anybody!
Is an excellent house is a great location. Perfect for a family or a golf foursome like ours. Great courses and restaurants are very close. Thanks, Derrick!
This home was absolutely beautiful and so clean. It had all of the essentials needed and more to have wonderful stay. I fell in love with the frog on the window sill going up the stairs and the gorgeous China cabinet. The cookware was fabulous and I’m already looming for one to buy. Beautiful Beat Lake is right across the street. Highly recommend this gorgeous home.
Superb home with interesting style/history and very clean. The host had every detail covered and provided free snacks and other goodies. It’s a steal for the price - one of the best rentals we’ve stayed in. Highly recommend.
Amazing stay at a beautiful house! So many supplies and extra touches. Derrick was an incredible host. We felt safe, cozy, comfortable, and cared for. Can’t say enough positive things! Just stay there, you will be glad you did.

About the host
Hosted by Derrick
We are new to hosting for short term rentals, but we love to travel and wanted to have a place where others could come and see why we love this home and this neighborhood.
Why they chose this property
The town of Bear Lake is a beautiful secret place located on the Shores of Bear Lake and 5 miles away from beautiful lake Michigan. The town is small, and thus most people pass on by, but if you stop here, you'll find beautiful sand beaches that you can have all to yourself. There are miles of hiking trails. An abundance of golf courses. 2 popular ski resorts. Snowmobile and Side by Side trails. Winery, Distillery, and Brewery tours, and tastings. Every Foodies dream of having flavorful restaurants, food trucks, and farm stands only minutes away. It's a fisherman's delight with river, small lake fishing, and big lake fishing - bring your own gear, rent from the local sport shop, or hire a guide service. This place is in the center of it all, with all the amenities listed above within a 15-minuet drive.
