    Perfect place for a family ranging from 18 months to age 68. The beach was just out the back door and town a 5 minute walk down the driveway. Very private due to the long driveway through the woods to the street. Couldn’t be better!

    Blue Bear is the perfect place to stay and enjoy all that Glen Arbor has to offer. With its own idyllic beach on Sleeping Bear Bay, walking distance to town and just across the street from the Heritage Trail, the location CANNOT be beat. The cottage is well appointed and cozy with breathtaking views and sweetly tucked in the woods so it feels away even though it's close to everything. Just dreamy. We'll be back again and again.

    We just finished a wonderful stay at Blue Bear. We loved the quiet and being right on Lake Michigan with a beautiful private sandy beach; yet, just a short walk down the road, and we were in the lovely, bustling town of Glen Arbor. Inside, the house was fully furnished, and the kitchen had all the amenities one could want. The Heritage Trail was less than a half mile from the home. Overall, it was a great place to stay for both the location and the comfortably furnished home. We would definitely stay at Blue Bear again.

    Beautiful spacious three bedroom home with 6 beds and a fully stocked kitchen. We truly appreciated and enjoyed the large private Lake Michigan property! The house was situated far from the road and we only heard the soft lapping of water against the shore. It was wonderful to return to the peace and quiet of the lake after a day of hiking and exploring the area. Within walking distance to Glen Arbor shops and restaurants.
