I just want to make your vacation here as good as it can be. I have enjoyed this lake for 60 years and want others to enjoy it as well.

Why they chose this property

I was raised on this lake every summer. My children and grandchildren now look forward to every summer going to Bear Lk. I want each of my guest to enjoy the beautiful lake that I have grown up to love. I will do my best to ensure you have a wonderful visit.

What makes this property unique

The cleanliness of the lake is the ultimate benefit. You can see to the bottom of the lake as far down as your eyes can see.
