About this cabin rental
Secluded log cabin just yards away from Lake Michigan, and bordering Manistee National Forest. 'Little Bear' cabin is nestled in a mature pine grove. Although there is no lake view from Little Bear cabin, you only have a short 250 foot walk to our other property, Big Bear lake house, here you have your own private dune on and overlooking Lake Michigan - now with access to Lake Michigan via a new set on stairs down the dune.
At the top of the dune there is a huge open yard, gazebo, and picnic area overlooking Lake Michigan! It offers spectacular views of the lake all year round, and all seasons are magnificent. The newly built stairs on the dune will take you directly to the white sand beach on Lake Michigan!
At Little Bear cabin, you have the seclusion of the forest. You can also walk directly into beautiful Manistee National Forest. The trails start a few hundred yards from your porch. This area is perfect for year round vacation fun: hiking, biking, fishing, swimming, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and is a short drive to the Little River casino.
Two bedrooms with 5 beds that sleeps 5. Your stay includes free Starlink satellite internet.
Pet friendly for house-trained, non-aggressive and well-behaved pets - max 2 pets. There is a one-time $50 pet fee per stay.
Please note: Accessing Lake Michigan is via a staircase on the high dune. Please follow safety guidelines and access at your own risk.
NEW!! If your dates are unavailable, if you are looking for a wilderness retreat, or looking for larger accommodations, please check out our sister property - River Bear Retreat - with two full bathrooms (double master layout) and sleeps 8 people on 18 acres, across from the Little Manistee River - https://www.vrbo.com/3386516 (same owners/managers/crew)

We loved our stay at the cabin! It took us back to a slower and more intentional time together. The short walk across the street to the beach was incredible! The secluded beach was incredible and made me reflect on the Goodness of our Lord! What an incredible trip! We hope to be back to enjoy this beautiful piece of creation!

We had a delightful and relaxing time at this cabin! The hosts were very courteous and everything was clean. The property and surrounding area were a beautiful and quiet escape.

Owners were nice and thoughtful.Thought the lake access and view was in the rental backyard so was surprised.A rug (or something) was very musty and we had to keep the windows open.Bed has a big slope in middle.The peaceful beach access was lovely. As were the sunsets.
