Charming Lakeside Cabin on Bear Island Lake W/Dock, WiFi, Firepit & Much More!

Thank you so much for the kind review and am happy that you had a great time. We put extra care this year to make the cabin extremely clean and welcoming. Looking forward to your visit next year.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the house and bedding clean, had adequate sleeping space, and especially enjoyed the lakefront location for your fishing trip. To clarify, the dock accommodates one boat. We have since updated the listing to make this more clear and avoid any confusion for future guests. Regarding the mouse, we did experience some issues with mice during the summer of 2025, but those issues have since been addressed and resolved. We now have a professional pest control company servicing the property on a regular basis. As for spiders, they are unfortunately part of the natural environment when staying in a cabin surrounded by the woods. That said, our new cleaning team has been doing an excellent job of removing spider webs and checking the property prior to each guest’s arrival to minimize their presence as much as possible. There is parking available for 1–2 trailers, as other guests have successfully parked trailers at the property. Please note that the driveway is one-way and does not have a turnaround area, so trailers and vehicles will need to back out upon departure. There are designated wider areas along the driveway to make backing up easier. We appreciate your feedback and are always looking for ways to make the property information clearer and improve the guest experience.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cabin, its amenities, the fireplace, and the beautiful lake views. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with the neighboring property was uncomfortable. Had we been made aware of these concerns during your stay, we would have been happy to reach out to the neighbors and try to resolve the issues. We have not received any other reports regarding the neighbors since your stay. The canoes and kayaks on the property are for the owners’ personal use, which is why they are locked. There are, however, several outfitters and rental options in the Ely area for guests who would like to enjoy the lake by canoe or kayak. We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed your stay overall and would love to welcome you back!
