About this property

Beautiful Vacation Home on Crystal Clear Bear Lake

Wake up overlooking crystal clear Bear Lake from our beautiful wrap around deck! Enjoy the private, serene setting just steps from Bear Lake. Our beautiful home has 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms + additional sleeping space. Two stone fireplaces, soaring ceilings and large windows overlooking the lake make this a true Northern Michigan getaway!

Our home is available year-round! In Summer enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking and canoeing. There are also numerous golf courses in the area. In Fall and Winter spend time hunting, ice fishing and snowmobiling. Access ORV/snowmobile trails just minutes from the house on M-72. Or head on over to Grayling for sledding, tubing and skiing at Hanson Hills Recreation Area.

We have a cozy fire pit to enjoy on cool evenings. There's plenty of outdoor seating for gathering, dining and just relaxing.

We offer three kayaks, 1 canoe, paddles and life jackets for your enjoyment. There is a dock with one lift for your PWC (1). There are additional posts so that you may secure your boat alongside our dock without getting in the water.

***Please note High Speed Boating Permitted Only from 11am to 7:30pm***

**Please note there are dirt roads leading up to our home. In the event of snow, you will need a 4-wheel drive vehicle and good tires to access the road directly leading to our home**
**Please note there is a security camera outside the home that points toward the back door. There is NO recording done inside the home**

Our home is about an hour from Traverse City and situated almost exactly between Kalkaska and Grayling. The location is ideal for an Up North getaway yet very close to Michigan's top destinations.
