Excellent for a cozy weekend break
We took a few days off and had a long weekend by the lake to enjoy the falls colors.The cottage has everything needed for a cozy weekend in the countryside. The well-appointed kitchen meant we could cook up a storm, then enjoy some hot apple cider around the fire pit. Perfect size and great location for a family getaway.
Beautiful, private, beach cottage!
What a perfect family getaway! The four of us, my husband and I, son, niece and our Jack Russell all loved this amazing location. We spent mornings enjoying coffee on the deck. The lake view is spectacular! We loved touring the lake on the paddle boat and kayaks in the afternoons. The lake is so clear, the water perfect for swimming even in September! Nights were spent around the bonfire making Smores beneath the most stunning star filled sky!!
The cabin itself is clean and cozy. We had everything we needed to feel right at home. We also spent a day hiking in Pigeon National Forest, definitely worth the drive! Simply beautiful!! thanks, Hans, for allowing us to enjoy a much needed, perfect week away! We hope to return again soon.

Absolutely wonderful!
It was beautiful! Everyone loved the cottage and the lakefront property. We spent every day kayaking and paddle-boating. We did some fishing, both off the dock and in the boat. We had bonfires every night. The view of the stars at night was amazing! Nobody wanted to leave and the kids want to make it an annual trip! My 15 year old daughter said it was the best place to celebrate her birthday! We can't express enough how much we loved our stay here!
2nd time around was even better than the 1st time!
Thank you for sharing your lovely cabin with us again. Our group was 6 children (10 to 18) and 2 adults. Even though the weather wasn't the ideal Spring break weather, we managed to spend a great amount of quality family time together....even without complaints! This cabin has everything you could need. The beds are comfortable, the showers are warm and the wood burning stove topped it off! We will definitely be returning to Little Bear Beach Cottage. Thank you Hans!
Beautiful cozy spot on the water
Visited in the winter. Overlooking the frozen lake was amazing. Comfortable beds. Quick but nice stay.
Went above our expectations!
This cottage is a perfect gem on a great lake. We had children with us ranging from 10 to 18 and they fell in love with the cottage immediately. This cottage offers great activities that get the kids outside exploring nature. From fishing to kayaking, they kept us busy the entire time! I have already re-booked Little Bear Beach Cottage for next year. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with our family!
