Welcome to Bear Lake Cottages
Escape to the perfect Northern Michigan getaway at our two charming family cottages, nestled on 158 feet of private lake frontage—a rare find on beautiful Bear Lake. Whether you're planning a family vacation or a week on the water with friends, our property offers the space and setting to relax, reconnect, and make lasting memories.
Bear Lake is an all-sports lake with a hard sandy bottom and a gradual, shallow shoreline extending nearly 20 feet into the water. The warm, crystal-clear water and zero-entry beach make it ideal for young children, while boaters, paddlers, and anglers will love everything the lake has to offer.

Why Guests Love Staying Here
What truly sets our property apart is the 158 feet of private lake frontage. Unlike many lakefront rentals, there's room for everyone to spread out and enjoy their vacation. Spend the afternoon lounging in a hammock, gather on the deck for happy hour, play games in the spacious yard, paddle around the lake, or simply relax with a book while the kids play safely in the shallow water.
The sandy lake bottom and gradual shoreline create the perfect swimming area for guests of every age, and because the water stays shallow near shore, it warms quickly and remains comfortable throughout the summer.
