Beautiful home and great view!

We loved our stay at the lake. The view was so beautiful and the home was so comfortable for our family. The deck and outside lights provided a outdoor space. We would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful getaway

Very nice home on the water in a quiet neighborhood. Great place to relax and good centralized location for excursions to Traverse city, dunes and other local areas. Check-in process was simple and good wifi access. Kitchen was well equipped with thoughtful welcome items. Great porches/decks surrounding property with a gas grill to cook out. Only drawback was we did not see a place to rent boats or jetskies on lake. I would definitely recommend this property without hesitation.

Bear Lake Trip

We had an amazing time with our family. Everything in the house was there if we needed. It was clean and cozy. Plenty of cooking utensils in the kitchen or towels in the bathrooms. The location was perfect and had a great fishing dock. The area is very quiet and we definitely got a chance to relax. We definitely recommend this property! We hope to stay here again soon.

Relaxing Family Vacation

The house was perfect for our small family. The property was very clean and well equipped. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and swimming. We liked the privacy of the back yard but did wish the backyard was mowed as the weeds were over a foot tall in the fire pit area. The beach area would be great for little kids to play and swim! There is only a tv in the living room and main bedroom, our teenager would have liked to have a tv in the spare rooms for evening relaxing so this might be worth investing into in the future! I wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future . The surrounding town is quaint with low traffic, perfect to unwind and relax .
