Lake was amazing. So clear and just beautiful. House was perfect for our group of 4 adults, 3 teens, and 2 child. Very spacious, comfortable, and great for spending time together. Would love to visit again someday. Also, hosts were great. Very responsive and friendly. Definitely recommend this property.

We loved our stay so much. Bear Lake is absolutely gorgeous and we had zero complaints about the home. The option of two different spots for a fire at night was so nice, hanging out at the dock and jumping in the water was so fun, and the coffee maker was a lifesaver. We also really appreciated the local recommendations and really enjoyed checking out a couple of them. I would love to convince some friends to come back here one day :)

Great property with clear water, sandy bottom. Cottage was newly renovated and perfect with finished basement. Great host! Had a perfect family vacation.

My wife & I were looking for a property on the water of an inland lake and likely clicked on every single one within our target price range in the lower peninsula. The Big Bear Lake cottage caught our eye both with its gorgeous views and updated accommodations. Both were exactly as advertised with the lake especially being even more remarkable in person. Whoever says Torch or Charlevoix or Walloon are the clearest lakes in MI have never seen Big Bear. We watched 8-12 trout swimming around the end of the dock in ~10’ of water our first morning and could practically count their spots. And taking the canoe out was like paddling on glass, staring down to the sandy bottom. As for the cottage- perfect for a comfortable gathering with everyone having their own space. Very nicely updated (great kitchen) and two cozy spots for a group to play games or watch movies. But perhaps the most unique of this property compared to others is how flexible, communicative and accommodating the owners are. We came mid-October and they were willing to leave the dock in an extra 2-3 weeks than they’d planned for us to even just have the option of using their pontoon, which they also left in. And any question leading up to or even while there were responded to almost immediately. All together, they provided our family a wonderful getaway to enjoy just being together and a spot we certainly hope & plan to come back to again.
