Cute cabin overlooking Bear Lake Mi.

For the price the cabin is very fine.The place gets better as you learn to enjoy all that the "fishing cabin" has to offer.The view from rthe deck overlooking the lake is very peaceful.

Such a cozy spot for a get away!

Jeff (the host) was super responsive and helpful, and the cottage was great. Cottage is definitely older and "quirky" but clean, comfortable, right on the lake and close to all the area attractions. Would absolutely stay here again.
