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!
Perfect weekend getaway!
Rented the cabin for a relaxing weekend girl's getaway. We all were impressed on the cleanliness of the cabin and the efficiency of the house. We had everything we needed from towels to TP, it was covered. We also enjoyed the retro board games. Perfect set up & beautiful beach! We will be back for sure!
Great Cottage!
Had a great time. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was very nice and having a TV was nice for when the kids were napping. The view from the porch and the bonfire pit were fantastic. Water was cold, but clean and refreshing. Its a quick trip into Lewiston and Gaylord and we did a day trip to Traverse City. My kids had a blast and I loved the sense of seclusion of the cabin and property. Great time and worth the price of admission.
