Being by the lake produces a feeling of relaxation and you can sense it pretty easily in this easy going place called Two Rivers, and especially right here at the Smiling Bear Cabin. There are many nearby hiking and XCSki/Showshoeing trails including ice age trail segments, and wonderful beach and picnicking spots. Staying at the Smiling Bear puts you at the heart of everything available in the area and gives you a nice place to call home and make great family memories.

Our place sits on 1/3 acre, across the road from Lake Michigan and the Mariner's Trail, which runs along the coastline. The way our home is angled, you can see the lake from much of the yard and just about every room of the house. We have Swings, Volleyball, Croquet, Badminton, & Sidewalk Chalk! We have a Fire-Pit and a Wood Shed [which may or may not have firewood at any given time]. To round out the outdoor fun, we have a huge Wrap Around Deck w/Gas Grill [Propane Provided], Picnic Table, Patio Table w/Umbrella, and extra chairs.

    Plenty of kitchen tools available. No wine cooler anymore. There is a window air unit in upstairs double bedroom and one in living room to help maintain the cooler temps on hot days. Plenty of space for seating at kitchen table and living room for 6. Nice fire pit outside and gas grill for cooking. Upstairs bathroom ceiling is at a low angle and if you are tall, you may bang your head a few times. Would recommend the house. Great lake views and breeze.

    We had a great stay! The value of this property related to proximity to beach, two towns and view was great. The house was clean, there were a lot of spiderwebs and spiders in the windows, which did not impact us negatively. Would stay again!

    The house was very welcoming with a well appointed kitchen, 4 spacious bedrooms, a lovely deck with great seating and a grill, indoor and outdoor toys and games, fire pit, and full size laundry. We played games around the dining room table and relaxed in the yard when we weren’t out and about. Best of all, we had a lake view (across the street) and a cool breeze. We had a wonderful family vacation, with fishing in Two Rivers and at Silver Lake, walking on Mariner’s Trail, swimming at Fischer Creek and finding sea glass, exploring Door County, trying Von Stiehl cherry cider, eating treats at Screamin’ Conuts, family pictures at Lighthouse Inn with Mariah as photographer, walking through the beautiful flowers at West of the Lake Gardens, and fun in Green Bay at Bay Beach. Highly recommend this property for a Door County adjacent vacation on Lake Michigan!!

    This rental gave us a home away from home with a gorgeous view of the lake from several of the rooms. It had everything we needed and more.

    We came to pay final respects to our families matriarch, explored Sturgeon Bay and attended the Packer game. Your home was centrally located and had plenty to keep a family busy when we had down time. We especially liked the volleyball net

    Our family enjoyed our stay in this vacation home. It is nicely decorated and the kitchen is well stocked. The outdoor area is ample and pleasant. The owner was attentive to our questions and needs. Since we had young children in our group, we found the visits to the zoo, mini-golf and the beach which are all close by, added to our fun.

    We have stayed at this property every summer for a week for about ten years now. We love that it's big enough for all 14 of us. The backyard grill area and deck are used constantly. The women and kids love Neshotah beach and the guys are fishing on lake Michigan. Also Property manager Rosalie is great to work with. Always gets everything taken care of swiftly. Going back next summer.
