Bear-y wonderful stay!
Our family enjoyed our weeklong stay at Ball’s Bearadise! The landscaping is beautiful. The sandy beach, the clean blue water, and the fire pit are top notch. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks and paddle boards as well.
The cottage itself has lots of seating for large groups indoors and outdoors. We enjoyed playing cards on the deck and watching the boats go by.
A couple things to be aware of when renting:
- lots of stairs and very steep driveway (this is noted in reviews and description)- so you’ll get your steps in for sure!
- bedrooms are on the small side. Not much room for large luggage. The top bunks in the basement nearly touch the ceiling.
- kitchen is on the small side, which isn’t an issue if you plan to grill a lot. But the grill was not useable, it is missing a handle to open and close and is very dirty. We went to the store and picked our own camping grill. Note-we did not contact owners on this issue during our stay.
Still a five star rating deserved here as we came for the lake and outdoors and that is what we got!

Truly a slice of “Bearadise”
This home exceeded our expectations. The house was clean, and the owners provided so many amenities. (Pots, pans, toilet paper, kitchen appliances….. etc). The spaces inside the home were very cool, the basement is a wonderful spot if you have older children or additional family members that like a bit of their own space. The outdoor areas were STUNNING! The water was the clearest lake we have ever experienced. We spent lots of time wearing goggles and chasing fish. (Made the younger kids far more comfortable being able to SEE in the water) The floating dock is incredibly comfortable and another fun space to just hangout. Lots of outdoor chairs and seating provided and all were top notch quality and comfort. We did many boat trips around the lake and Balls Bearadise truly has the best beach front set up of all the homes in our opinion. 10 STARS for this property and owners. Incredible accommodating and responsive. I would agree with some reviews that if you had younger children, or older relatives the steps might be hard, but we had our 4 year old and she did just fine. The lake is not giant, or overly busy which we preferred. Lots of nature and animals to see (fish, cranes, bald eagles, turtles, frogs). We felt like we were in a fresh water Caribbean with the charm and magic of northern Michigan. It was a truly magical pairing.

Fabulous!!
Property was stunning. Cabin was well maintained. Lake was crystal clear. Hosts were great. Check in and out was a breeze.
Would not recommend for families with infants/young toddlers unless you are able/willing to carry them up and down a few flights of stairs multiple times daily.
The bunk room was smaller than I imagined but did the trick.
Had a dream trip, already looking forward to returning!

Great beach area for kids
Our families had a great time at the Ball's Bearadise. The beach area and lake are great for younger kids. The water is shallow and the lake is beautiful. The floating dock and owner-provided kayaks and paddle boards were nice to have available.
No dishwasher so if you cook a lot it's a good idea to bring disposable plates/cups.
Great location on the lake and we definitely recommend this property. Thanks!

Truly a Paradise!
Bear lake is a beautiful, crystal clear lake. Ball’s Bearadise has the most beautiful beach on the lake. We enjoyed the beach, the paddle boards, the Kayaks, and our many trips around the lake on the pontoon boat. Even did some fishing. Perfect on- the-beach fire pit for the evenings, and a nice 6-person table on the deck, overlooking the lake, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The owners, Lori and Mike, we’re most accommodating and welcoming. Thank you guys!! We had a wonderful time.

Great place
We had a great time at bear lake! The cottage was super cute and was exactly as advertised. It has a very nice sandy beach and the water is Caribbean blue! The lake is fairly small. We used the kayaks and stand up boards. Be aware though…there are 43 steps from the beach to the house, which could be a down side for some. The fire pit area is great and you have never seen so many stars! Overall, this was a great place to stay!!

Nice property, beautiful waters.
We had a nice time at the cabin. The owners were over the top nice and very accommodating. Even offering some amenities that were originally not offered as part of the stay. Owners were very responsive with any text we sent. Lake is beautiful crystal clear water very serene and quiet area. Fun area downstairs if you have kids, they can almost stay separate from parents providing the feel of two separate places. There is a video gaming system for them, large couch and bunk bed area. Overall fun place to stay.

Beautiful beachfront property
The home owners were very friendly and accommodating during our visit. The house’s beachfront was very nice and we enjoyed our time on the paddle boards and kayaks (which were included). I would recommend this property.
