The Bear store also has a pretty cool ice cream window attached to the store. I was pleasantly surprised by choices of flavors. If you wanted to rent a place they have a hotel with rooms for rent at a reasonable price. You're also a 10 minute drive from Five channels dam. Fishing, sightseeing or trails all for family enjoyment. The Bear store is a must stop if your ever in the hale or oscoda area.

Panelling, old carpet, older looking furniture, but very cozy. Our unit had two bedrooms, a tiny kitchenette area, a living room and dining room area that kind of blended together. The AC worked great and there was a cable Tv in the living room. It's got a cabin feel to it, but again, was very nice. What really made the place great was it's sitting right on the lake shore. Our unit was a short walk across the parking lot to the beach area. There was shuffle board, a fire pit, a playground and plenty of beach area and chairs available. There was even a couple wood swings and a cornhole game set up. The owners were super friendly. Each unit has a charcoal grill that we used. The room had dishes and silverware. A coffee maker but no filters. The beds were cozy, and the place was really quiet. Our unit was right near the main road and we didn't even hear the traffic. I would definitely stay here again, we wished we could of stayed a few days longer after only staying one day. The price was right too, I think our off season rate (after Labor Day) was only $75 a night.

We had a great view of the lake, and we were actually able to check in early. One thing that was kind of a bummer was the check in time. You cannot check in until 5 pm, unless it's a case like mine was. I feel this is a very late check in time compared to other places similar to this one.
