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.

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

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.

Perfectly secluded with everything you need!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin really does have everything- down to filters for the coffee pot. The TV is a smart TV, so all streaming services are also available. Stayed nice and warm with the gas stove. As others have said, no reason to venture out into the “real world.” The trails are exceptionally well maintained. Groceries are about 15 minutes away. The one note I would add is that if you are driving a full sized truck, the driveway is narrow, kinda twisty, and long…ie you NEED to be comfortable backing your full sized truck to (or away from) the cabin because there really isn’t room to turn around. Just a note for people who may not be comfortable with that. Stephanie was AMAZING. Kind and responsive to our needs.

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.

Perfect getaway for me, my husband and our dogs

My husband and I can’t say enough good things about this place! We’re already thinking about trying to book it in the fall. We loved disconnecting from the world and connecting with nature here- there was so much wildlife and it was just so peaceful. The dogs loved running through the woods, hiking, swimming and “helping” us fish- they were exhausted at the end of each day! The cabin is absolutely perfect and is what a cabin should be: simple yet completely comfortable. The design of the cabin, intimate size, comfy beds, cozy furniture, hot tub, outdoor shower, hammock, fire pit and other amenities were everything we could have wanted in a cabin getaway. We caught a lot of fish just from the dock but also enjoyed using the boats to explore the lake and fish in other areas. We are already recommending this place to our friends! We don’t have kids but it seemed like there were a lot of fun things for kids there. But if you’re a couple just looking to spend quality time with each other while unplugging and enjoying solitude then definitely rent this cabin for a long weekend!

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

Beautiful Memories at a Beautiful Cabin!

The cabin is gorgeous. Decorated nicely, and super clean! All the perks of a rustic stay with creature comforts like a great a/c unit and a keurig. While it’s tempting to just stay in the comfy cozy cabin all day, the outdoors will call you. The boats are well kept, fresh firewood that burnt amazing, and clean lifejackets. Fishing was fun! The kids were able to catch small fish (not big enough to keep) and we caught a catfish. Saw lots of loons and a pregnant deer across the water. I cannot say enough good things about this cabin or the owner! She was consistent with communication before, during, and after the stay. We will definitely return in the future!!

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!
