Bear Feet Retreat Hot Tub Dogs OK

Summary:

Step into your perfect Up North escape. This sunny lakefront home sits right on the shoreline of Little Traverse Lake with Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan, and the famous wine trail all just a short drive away. The moment you arrive, you feel the pace slow down. Mornings start with quiet water views and coffee on the deck. Evenings end with a fire, a hot tub soak, and that unmistakable Michigan sky full of stars.



The Space:

With more than 3,600 square feet, this home is made for groups who want to spread out, relax, and enjoy easy, comfortable living. Every room feels welcoming and designed for connection.



Main Level

• A bright chef’s kitchen with island seating, dual ovens, a Viking gas range, and a pot filler ready for big family meals

• A dining area that invites slow dinners and long conversations

• A living room with a smart TV, gas fireplace, and room to unwind

• A primary bedroom with a king bed and a private bathroom

• A second bedroom with a queen bed

• A full bathroom with a tub located in the hallway

• A laundry area and a half bathroom nearby



Second Level

• A loft that instantly becomes the hangout spot with a movie projector and shuffleboard

• A third bedroom with two queen beds

• Two full bathrooms upstairs

• A fourth bedroom with a charming nautical theme and six built in bunks made up of five twin beds and one queen

• A fifth bedroom with another set of six built in bunks arranged the same way



Outdoor Space

This is where the magic happens. The large deck is ready for long afternoons, sunset dinners, and lazy mornings in the fresh air. There is a year round hot tub for cool evenings, a fire pit for storytelling, and a gas grill for lakeside meals.



From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the full lineup of waterfront fun is ready for you. An eighty foot dock, a mooring ball for your boat, three kayaks, two paddleboards, a canoe, and an outdoor shower after your lake adventures. It is pure summer joy.



Guest Access:

Guest Access

The garage holds two vehicles. The driveway holds two more. Please limit parking to four vehicles.



Important Notes

Guests must be twenty five or older unless with a parent or guardian. Age will be verified after booking.

A nonrefundable credit card processing fee applies.

Mid stay cleanings are required for stays of fourteen nights or longer and optional for shorter visits.



Pets

Dogs are welcome with an additional fee. Bring up to two, and please keep them leashed outdoors. Take them with you when you leave or kennel them so we do not have lonely barking pups. Remember to clean up after them so that future guests can bring their pets too.



Dock Use

The dock is available from Memorial Weekend through Labor Day. It is for loading and unloading only with a fifteen minute limit for tying off. Use the mooring ball between boat rides since lake winds can change quickly.



Check In and Check Out

Check in: 4:00 PM

Check out: 10:00 AM



This home is all about easy days, great company, and the simple joy of being at the lake. It gives you the best of Northern Michigan and a place to create the kind of memories people talk about for years.

• A $154 damage waiver fee is required per stay, covering accidental damages up to $1,500.

Waterfront Use:

The dock is available for guest use with rental boats for 15-minute passenger loading and unloading. A mooring ball is provided for boat mooring between outings. Please note that due to the risk of wind and waves, docking directly to the pier is not permitted, there are no bumpers in place, and damage is possible.



Any same day booking after 6pm please reach out to us prior to booking for availability.

Our weekly knitting group decided to plan a getaway up north and decided on staying here for the best views, amenities, and of course, enough beds to fit us all! This place has it all; A gorgeous view of little traverse lake, hot tub, plenty of seating and a nice big open floor plan to help us breathe a little easier. Would highly recommend it for your large group retreats and getaways. Thanks for your hospitality, Mark!

Mark went above and beyond when he proactively warned us about a major blizzard bearing down on our rental. He truly cares about his guests' experience as much as their well-being!
