Top Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Manistee

8/10 Good

"Roomm was clean staff were friendly. A little check in snafu was corrected quickly."

10/10 Excellent

"We were in the area for a color tour. We booked here because we like the motel feel-parking outside the door, more personal feel. We checked in with a no contact check in, which worked without fail. The room was charming, and had everything we needed. There was making for s’mores if you wanted to build a fire, plenty of room to be outside enjoying the property. It was a great night."

Secluded cabin in a Pine forest, just minutes away from Crystal Mountain

10/10 Excellent

"Very peaceful, secluded, and pleasant property! We’ll definitely visit again. There’s just enough amenities to be comfortable, but secluded and rustic enough to be very restorative. We enjoyed every minute!"

Lake Michigan Beachfront Home w/ Private Beach & Sunset Views, Sleeps 15+

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay in this gorgeous, beautifully furnished, and immaculately maintained waterfront home. The views of Lake Michigan are outstanding and can be enjoyed from three vantage points: a truly generously sized deck, a landing with seating down the stairs, and of course the small but lovely beach along water's edge. The hosts have provided everything you may wish for or require during your visit. We were completely impressed and are grateful for such a wonderful experience."
