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.

It seems…read morelike the kitchen and servers are understaffed as everyone seemed rushed and was not in a good mood. I ordered the fried smelt special for $17 which was a TON of food! It also came with a basic side salad. The smelt was ready pretty quick, but our table was waiting for almost 45 minutes for my wife's BLT. I was a little surprised because a BLT doesn't take much time, but when it came out I understood why. The BLT was actually more of a calzone that I think they bake with the pizzas. Her BLT was super tasty, but it was a bummer it wasn't ready at the same time as the rest of the food. I saw the fish was left on the warmer until it was ready. After eating, we waited almost 20 minutes for our server to come pick up the check. We ended up running the check to the bar to close us out since we hadn't seen our server in a while as she was busy closing up outaide. Overall, I wouldn't come on the weekend if you're looking for a quick bite, but this place definitely has a cool vibe by the lake. The pizzas looked tasty too, so I'll have to try those next time.

Jeff and Barb are wonderful people and very helpful. Plus, we love the chocolate chip cookies that are on the table waiting for us on our arrival. Often the neighbors have dogs, but they are always on a leash which is expected at any campground or cottage rental. It is hard to decide which cabin we like best; we have stayed in them all; and they are decorated so perfectly according to their name. It has been a challenge to count how many bears you can find in the bear cabin, or lighthouses in the lighthouse cabin. We hope to be able to go to the cottages for many more years. Thanks Barb and Jeff for such a wonderful place to relax!

It was tucked away just off the road in some beautiful woods and located directly on a little private lake called Bear Lake. It is very quiet and peaceful and the cabins were not crowded whatsoever. Our cabin was very clean and cozy. We couldn't believe that the price was so low because we would've paid double for what we got. We plan on booking again and look forward to doing so soon. You will not be disappointed in your stay. Everything is beautiful there

The food is definitely targeted towards men's golf outings. The courses are in bad shape, the bunkers were not raked, the green had bald spots and the bunkers are mostly dirt. I could accept some of it but there were at least 9 kids standing around on the course chatting and looking at their phones. This place was my wife's and I favorite place to go and stay to golf. Our room had "spa shower ". the spa nozzles were plugged and the final straw was the TV did not work. It pains me to do write this review I had hoped to relive the wonderful tomes we spent here over the years but sadly it's just a money pit.

We had…read moreoriginally booked an Airbnb but upon discovering that it didn't have air conditioning, we called the Colonial less than two weeks before our trip. To our relief, they had a vacancy with air conditioning. We booked room 16, which is the two bedroom suite. It's quirky and seems like it used to be an apartment, and I was excited to discover it had a full kitchen. Unfortunately, the kitchen didn't have a single utensil, plate, pot, or pan. Not even any dish soap. My son has very specific dietary restrictions so eating out wasn't an option. We wound up going to Koschers and spending $20 on a frying pan, and buying disposable utensils, soap, etc. We made it work but it was frustrating to have a kitchen that was completely unusable. Additionally, the entire place stunk of stale cigarette smoke, despite it being a nonsmoking suite. I wasn't worried about this until the smell managed to seep into everything we owned during our three day stay. It was also FILTHY. There were dead bugs all over the floor when we checked in. The tile floor was so dirty that we had to wear socks during our stay. When we walked around barefoot, our feet turned black. The bathtub and kitchen sink didn't have drain stoppers, but luckily we had some silicone baby bowl lids that we used to plug both the sink and the tub. That said, I was impressed with the older man who works there. When we made our reservation we let them know our plane didn't land in Detroit until 5, so we may barely make it before the office closed at 9. Through a series of mishaps we didn't leave DTW until 7. When I called to let them know our delay, he said he'd leave the room open for us and we could just stop by the office in the morning. This was very nice of them. I can't say I'd want to stay here again.
