Little Glen Lake Cabin

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at this property. It is a fantastic location, clean. Good for a small family as it is tight quarters and the bathroom has to be accessed through the bedrooms on the first floor. Will stay again next summer!! Thanks Tracey

Natalie is awesome

Came home late to flooded cabin and Natalie saved the day. Put us up at the Homestead and cleaned the cabin herself. Great communicator.

Perfect location!

We absolutely loved this spot for our family with young kids. We were a bit disappointed with the kitchen sink being broken. It made dishes very cumbersome. Also, we felt that we could have used a few extra towels for the week. We really wished there was a washer/dryer available as the clothesline outside is quite short. We really appreciated the cleanliness of the cottage overall and would definitely consider renting again as long as the sink is fixed! Thank you!!

Our Happy Place

This is our second year renting Mama Bear and our first renting Baby Bear! We had a wonderful time with our adult children and two grandkids. Memories that will last a lifetime! We hope to come back next year, hopefully for two weeks!

Great stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Mama Bear! The view was amazing and we greatly enjoyed the firepit, beach, and dock areas. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet get away with a beautiful lakefront view. The only thing we would change is an updated bathroom. There was no ventilation system and moisture was evident.

Great week on the lake!

We had a great week staying at this cottage. Great beach and shallow water for small kids. The only thing we were expecting that wasn’t in the cottage was a dishwasher.

Family of 4 + Boat

Great setup if you have little kids. We have 2 boys, 5 & 8. Mooring for your boat is great so that you don't have to trailer it daily. No TV...No WIFI...no biggie! You're on the lake! It's time to unplug for the week. Super clean cottage. Good parking on-site. We'll be coming back.
