This place was exactly what we needed for our annual fishing trip. The place was very clean and well stocked. This was easily the best interaction I’ve had with a host. They were very quick to respond to the numerous questions we ended up coming up with. Would definitely look into this place again if we head back up that way!

We enjoyed the property, it was close to our Ice Age hiking. We really enjoyed all the different birds on the lake. The lake water was really low so the use of the boats was limited. Overall a great stay!

Nice Property

The house was very clean and spacious, and supplies (cookware, kitchen items, towels, etc.) were plentiful. The location was quiet and relaxing - the screened in porch was the best! We had a very nice time.

This is a very quiet, peaceful home on the water. All amenities as described, plenty of room, and very clean. We loved the screened in porch and being right on the water. Would definitely recommend to others!

Family Gathering

Spent a couple of days with family. The place exceeded our expectations. Very clean, kitchen had everything we needed and the porch looked nice but to cold to test it out. Easy check in. Would highly recommend and we will rent again.

Cozy Bear gave us everything we needed to spend a week doing things we love! Our first family trip in 16 years, we needed somewhere we could spread out as 5 adults. We even had enough room to welcome extended family for a night on their excursion from Maryland to North Dakota. The kitchen was perfect for someone who loves to cook and cuts no corners even when away from home. We made many lovely meals and the grill was an excellent companion.The fishing was great - location, location, location! We are familiar with the lakes but being tucked in to the far east corner of Hemlock was like having our own little paradise. Eagles, owls, hawks, loons of course. Never a dull moment. Oh, and the stars. Not a single night went by that we didn’t see a shooting star.The kayaks and rowboat were certainly appreciated for a quick trip into the cove when we didn’t want to take out our pontoon.Slept so good I’m still waking up wondering where I am, back at home!Hosts were graciously communicative, responsive, helpful and personable. Thanks for sharing your space with us!

Very nice and private

My family enjoyed our stay at this cabin on the lake. It had everything we needed for our stay, including board games for the rainy days, which unfortunately was most of our week. We really enjoyed spending time on the screened in porch when it was too rainy to actually be outside. You need to go down several stairs in order to reach the lake, but the brand new stairs and railings made it a little easier and safer. The new pier is also really nice and sturdy. Beautiful areas surrounding the cabin, we saw many animals on our drives to and from town, one day we even saw a bear! Rental was very clean and roomy.

Beautiful house on an amazing chain of lakes!

Overall, the property is beautiful, inside and out. The house is on a super quiet corner of an already quiet lake, yet linked to two other very different lakes, providing lots of options to explore. The dark sky made star gazing awesome! The house is modern and comfortably appointed. Dan and Emily were very responsive and communicative via VRBO messaging. Although definitely not show stoppers, and maybe non-issues for some families, the WiFi is super slow, and the area around the dock has a lot of weeds. Our family of five had an amazing time, and thoroughly enjoyed our week in the house and on the lake!

Our stay for 6 days/5 nights at Cozy Bear Cabin was wonderful. The house is roomy, exceptionally clean, and equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. The property is well cared for, offering a stress-free and relaxing environment.The location is quiet and serene, ideal for anyone looking to unwind. The screened porch quickly became our favorite hangout—it’s perfect for morning coffee or evening chats. Down by the water, the bench seating on the dock provided the perfect view to end each day.The variety of wildlife in the area was a bonus-deer with fawns, wild turkey with poults, black bear with cubs, mink, muskrats, turtles, waterfowl, cranes, birds of prey, and countless songbirds.If you want to explore beyond the property, there are several charming nearby communities that offer dining and shopping options. We enjoyed the paddleboards provided and rented a pontoon to explore Red Cedar, Balsam, and Hemlock Lakes—highly recommended.This home offers a perfect mix of comfort, tranquility, and adventure. We would gladly return.Communication with Dan and Emily was seamless.

Amazing Place!

This Northwoods retreat was perfect! We had a group of 10 including 4 kids under 5. 😅 We enjoyed the large kitchen, serenity, the screened in porch, new dock and steps down. We caught some fish and a snapping turtle off the dock. The paddle boat was a hit and we rented a boat two of the days so we could explore. We saw 17 deer and 6 fawns and 4 turkeys one evening coming back from Birchwood. The property was clean and well organized. We didn't need to bring anything besides clothes and food. They have thought of everything! Kid toys, hi-chair, pack n play, fire pit chairs, cooler etc. We were pleasantly surprised with the cute s'mores kit they provided too! The owners were responsive to our questions and provided clear, prompt communication. We will definitely be planning another visit to Cozy Bear next year! 😊
