❄️ WINTER STAYS
Northern Michigan receives significant snowfall, and the driveway is inclined. AWD or 4WD vehicles are recommended, along with experience driving in snow. The backyard and lake stairs are not maintained during winter.
Whether you’re planning a summer vacation, family getaway, fall weekend, or winter trail trip, our Bear Lake home offers plenty to enjoy indoors and out.
Guest access
There is ample parking in the driveway near the garage. Please park on concrete driveway if it snows during your stay to leave room to plow.
Other things to note
Guest must follow lake rules.
