Beautiful, secluded, little slice of Wisconsin paradise. Pet friendly. Clean. A nice hot tub if you need a break from swimming in the lake. Water toys available. Not a far drive from some cool trails and waterfalls.

It was exactly what I was looking for - a few days in the woods with my pup running free happiest I have ever seen him! The hot tub was perfect, the location is so private and quiet, and the entire place was so charming and comfortable, I loved every minute of it! All of the little details make it so special.

Another great stay!

This is the second time my husband and I have stayed here with our two dogs and we will definitely be back again! We love this little cabin- there’s lots to do but this time we mostly stayed inside or in the hot tub where we could stay plenty warm and unplug from our busy lives for a few days.

The secluded cabin was perfect for dogs with stranger anxiety. They enjoyed walking the wooded dirt roads on long leashes. We enjoyed kayaking on a quiet lake and relaxing in the well maintained hot tub and sitting by the bonfire. Taverns, coffee shop and gift/antique shops all nearby.

Great Up North Experience

Cabin is cozy and it had everything we needed. The property is great, super private and secluded. We brought our boat and we slayed the bass and huge blue gills. The lake is smaller but the fishing was great. The wildlife was awesome, a bunch of eagles and other birds of prey.aqebirds oawtreat

Great cabin for relaxing

We always a have great stay at Little Bear Lodge. Stephanie, the owner is responsive to all concerns. Everything needed is within a few miles(grocery, cheese, meats, antiques, casino), but feels so secluded. We caught a lot of fish and always enjoy this quiet lake. We have already booked our stay for next year.

Perfect getaway!

Little Bear Lodge is a rare find! We loved our stay here! The cabin is adorable and the location can’t be beat. The inside is clean and cozy and the outside is very private and picture perfect. We loved having easy access to the lake with plenty of toys provided to keep the kids entertained (kayaks, paddle boat, paddle boards), a fire pit for s’mores, a hammock to relax in, a grill, and plenty of places to just sit and enjoy nature. We have nothing but positive things to say about our stay and hope to come back again in the future!

Fantastic time

This was a much needed escape for our family. Property was as described and had many amenities and nice touches. Games and books well stocked, lake area was clean, lots of available firewood. The A/C was nice for sleeping during humid nights. Beds were very comfortable! Thanks again.

Wonderful little retreat.

We stayed at the lil bear cabin and loved it all. So much wildlife and privacy. Very accurate description of the cabin. All the essentials were provided. We made use of the kayaks and paddle boat. And when the sun started to set we had fun by the campfire and toasted some marshmallows. It was very convenient that the firewood was provided. We will definitely be looking through our schedules to find another time to come back.

Always great!!

This small cabin in the woods is always peaceful and restful. No noise from neighbors and little boat traffic. This was our fifth trip to Little Bear, and it never disappoints. Plenty to do in the surrounding small towns and there is excellent fishing in Long Lake. We have already booked for 2023. Stephanie is always responsive and helpful.

A family tradition!

This is our second (of hopefully many) years at Lil Bear cabin! It’s like traveling back in time and enjoying the slow-living lifestyle I try to produce in our city life: Fishing, kayaking, walks in the woods, cooking over a campfire, canoeing, bird watching, roasting s’mores, reading by the lake…It’s all there. Thanks to Stephanie for being a wonderful host! -Autumn
