100' Prime Lakefront w/sandy lake bottom - updated cottage w/dock/boats/bikes
Enjoy one of Michigan's finest all-sports lakes in a secluded setting, with undeveloped lots on all sides (effectively 300' of private lake frontage). Our rustic/retro cottage kitchen, bathroom and powder room are all updated. Included at no extra charge is the use of our 14' aluminum fishing boat w/outboard motor & plenty of gas, standup paddleboards, kayaks, bicycles, and plenty of firewood for our indoor fireplace and outdoor firepit. (Dock and fishing boat are available around May 1 - November 1, but are removed during the other colder months.)
(Note: this is just 1 of about 5-10 "Bear Lake"s in the state of Michigan. Ours is the largest one, located in Manistee County, Bear Lake/Pleasanton Townships, south of Traverse City and north of Manistee, on U.S. 31.)
