Lake Michigan views! Complimentary housekeeping with monthly stays Mar-Apr.

Being by the lake produces a feeling of relaxation and you can sense it pretty easily in this easy going place called Two Rivers, and especially right here at the Smiling Bear Cabin. There are many nearby hiking and XCSki/Showshoeing trails including ice age trail segments, and wonderful beach and picnicking spots. Staying at the Smiling Bear puts you at the heart of everything available in the area and gives you a nice place to call home and make great family memories.

Our place sits on 1/3 acre, across the road from Lake Michigan and the Mariner's Trail, which runs along the coastline. The way our home is angled, you can see the lake from much of the yard and just about every room of the house. We have Swings, Volleyball, Croquet, Badminton, & Sidewalk Chalk! We have a Fire-Pit and a Wood Shed [which may or may not have firewood at any given time]. To round out the outdoor fun, we have a huge Wrap Around Deck w/Gas Grill [Propane Provided], Picnic Table, Patio Table w/Umbrella, and extra chairs.

Inside home layout is ideal w/Open Concept KT/Dining/LR so everyone can enjoy one anothers company during family cooking and cleanup time in our well stocked kitchen. Access Deck from Patio Doors or back kitchen door making a convenient round robin layout perfect for entertaining. Main floor laundry for guest use.
Our fully equipped KT includes Gas Stove, Refrigerator w/Water & Ice Dispenser, Dishwasher, Microwave, Wine Cooler, Coffeemaker, Crockpots, blender, beaters, pots & pans, utensils, glassware, bakeware et al. We have some specialties like a melon baller, garlic press, lemon zester, etc to add pizazz to your cooking experience.

Secured High Speed WiFi, and Dish TV including A&E and Discovery Channel [w/upgrade for sports channels available upon request]. We have books, games, and binoculars! Enjoy watching the SS Badger Carferry or other boats coast along the horizon. Play board games at the large dining table. Wonderful place for family together time.
For Sleeping Arrangements, there is a Main Floor Bedroom w/King Size Bed, and 3 more Bedrooms Upstairs. 2 of the upper Bedrooms have 1 Queen Size Bed per room. The 3rd upstairs BR has 2 Double Beds. There is a Hotel Grade Sofa Sleeper in LR.
There is a full bath on both Floors. Main Floor Bath has a Shower Stall. Upstairs Bath has a Shower over Tub.

Nicely appointed and equipped house

Our family enjoyed our stay in this vacation home. It is nicely decorated and the kitchen is well stocked. The outdoor area is ample and pleasant. The owner was attentive to our questions and needs. Since we had young children in our group, we found the visits to the zoo, mini-golf and the beach which are all close by, added to our fun.

Great place on a great lake.

While we did not chose this house for it's proximity to the lake, the views were a nice bonus. The home was just as described; it was clean, had plenty of comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, and a nice working kitchen. I would definitely stay again and would look for other properties from this owner as well.

Vacation Two Rivers

We have stayed at this property every summer for a week for about ten years now. We love that it's big enough for all 14 of us. The backyard grill area and deck are used constantly. The women and kids love Neshotah beach and the guys are fishing on lake Michigan. Also Property manager Rosalie is great to work with. Always gets everything taken care of swiftly.
