About this cottage rental
Welcome to Bear Lake Cottages
Escape to the perfect Northern Michigan getaway at our two charming family cottages, nestled on 158 feet of private lake frontage—a rare find on beautiful Bear Lake. Whether you're planning a family vacation or a week on the water with friends, our property offers the space and setting to relax, reconnect, and make lasting memories.
Bear Lake is an all-sports lake with a hard sandy bottom and a gradual, shallow shoreline extending nearly 20 feet into the water. The warm, crystal-clear water and zero-entry beach make it ideal for young children, while boaters, paddlers, and anglers will love everything the lake has to offer.

Why Guests Love Staying Here
What truly sets our property apart is the 158 feet of private lake frontage. Unlike many lakefront rentals, there's room for everyone to spread out and enjoy their vacation. Spend the afternoon lounging in a hammock, gather on the deck for happy hour, play games in the spacious yard, paddle around the lake, or simply relax with a book while the kids play safely in the shallow water.
The sandy lake bottom and gradual shoreline create the perfect swimming area for guests of every age, and because the water stays shallow near shore, it warms quickly and remains comfortable throughout the summer.

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
It's a beautiful setting, having the canoe and kayak is wonderful, and the setup was great for us, two small families vacationing together. It's also great for taking small children swimming because the lake bottom is sandy and very shallow for quite a long way out. I appreciated being able to use the on-site drip charger for my PHEV, too.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
The hard well water situation was problematic for cooking, showering and drinking. The water pressure and size of the lower kitchen sink made washing dishes nearly impossible. The area is spectacular, but, the proximity to 31 distracts from the overall ambiance and was difficult to park during high traffic times.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
We enjoyed our stay at Bear Lake immensely. The cottages were excellent for our family and gave us the flexibility we needed. It was clean and right on the water! Kerry’s communication was outstanding and we benefited from her recommendations too. You’ll be glad you stayed here.
