Little Bear Lake is a gem. The lake itself is a rarity at approximately 55 acres and up to 18 feet deep. And, it is surrounded by 400 acres. Then, add the two islands, the birds, the wildlife, the quiet. Plus two nice, ready-to-vacation-in year round homes, a free-standing game room (with a pool table and ping pong), an inviting Boat House Bar right on the lake, and two more storage barns for boats and your other toys and drive-right-up access all year long -- and it is unparalleled. Wind whispers through the huge white pines just outside your back door. The property is home to black bear, bobcat, deer, fox, turkeys, woodcock, wood ducks. The lake has a sandy bottom and is spring fed. It supplies large-mouth bass, bluegills and pike. This property has been a family get-away for generations and its care shows everywhere. Let's talk about that family get-away part. Everyone will be happy here. There are modern amenities like electricity, water and a paved road leading to stores just 10 minutes away. But also, you could stay for a week and never leave or run out of things to do -- fishing, boating, skiing, hiking, hunting, wildlife watching, playing pool, ping ponging, hammocking (just ask a teenager if you are not yet acquainted with this "sport") and just relaxing. The homes are comfortable and reminiscent of apple pies in the oven and fish fry dinners straight from the lake. You can hear the fishing tales, hunting stories and kids laughing. You could dine in the gazebo. And, with two lots on the neighboring Snyder Lake, you could keep Little Bear just as quiet as you like but still have the power sports options right across the street. It's all a hop, skip and a jump from the airports in Pellston and Traverse City and a reasonable drive from the Detroit/Ann Arbor/Lansing areas. Even Chicago is less than a day's drive.
