Note: - Please download and read the rental contract before booking any dates. The rental contract can be found on the same page as you pay for the rental which is one of the last pages in the booking process. We won't approve any booking until we know that you downloaded and signed the contract and you have stated so in an email to us within VRBO.
Note: Here are some of the rules listed in the contract, but not all of them.
- SMOKING IS NOT ALLOWED anywhere on the property meaning you can't
smoke inside or outside at this vacation home. Violators may be asked to leave
because our insurance will not cover damage to the property(s) related to
smoking.
- NO HEAVY DRINKING. If you have members of your group that drink a lot, (more than 6 drinks a night) don't rent this property. This is a place for families to enjoy not a place to drink hard and party. If the neighbors call me about your group or even just a member that is drunk, we may have to remove your entire group and you would loose the rental period and your security deposit.
This has never happened in 20 plus years of owning multiple rental properties but we have to protect our license to rent out the house and people getting
drunk and rowdy and bothering neighbors is not going be tolerated.
- No parties or inviting other people other than what we approved on the
contract or in writing. Email us for approval if someone wants to visit, it is
usually OK if its 2-3 people but we have to know and approve it first.
- No pets (this does not mean it is pet allergen free).
- Majority of the group must be over the age of 35, unless it is a family(s) or
father/son/daughter type combinations. Person signing contract must be
over the age of 35 unless we approve them ahead of time.
- See other rules we have listed in the contract before booking.
- From the third weekend in June to the third weekend in August, we only allow
7 night stays and they must be Saturday to Saturday. We also only allow the
week between Christmas and New Years to be booked as a week. The rest of
the year can have stays as short as 3 nights.
Description:
Big Bear Family Cabins L.L.C. is on a private lake meaning there is no public access, which keeps it much more peaceful and quite. The lake has about 50-70 acres of water depending on who is rating acreage and what depths they count, and neighbors have verbally agreed to not use gas outboards, so it stays quite and peaceful. We also require catch and release fishing for Musky but you can keep other species if they are of legal size and season, and you have a WI fishing license. The lake is a public lake without a public access point.
Our deck looks over approximately 300' of Southwest facing shoreline without having to look at neighbors , other than houses across the lake. We have a pier and several fishing boats with electric motors, canoes, and a paddle boat that are free to use.
The living room has a cathedral ceiling with windows facing the lake. There is a 22' tall stone fireplace from the floor to the ceiling. The Dining room and Master bedroom also face the lake. There is a large deck overlooking the lake and the only neighbors that can be seen from the deck are across the lake.
The lake has good Musky, Bass, and Northern Pike fishing, along with endless bluegills for kids can catch right from the pier.
In addition to the living room mentioned there is a rec room with TV, pool table, air hockey, a basketball game and lots of other games for kids on rainy days.
Almost the entire house interior is cedar or pine and the atmosphere is very lodge-like and while it is not a log cabin it is almost all wood inside and out. .
The end of our driveway directly connects to a branch of the snowmobile and ATV trail. We don't get much traffic here but it is nice to have direct trail access. Guests can walk to a small restaurant about 1/4 mile away,. It is usually open 3-4 days a week.
We have a rental contract that you will need to sign and return before a rental can take place. We need to make sure your group is of legal age and will not violate local ordinances which limit the amount of noise and the number of people that can be at a rental property.
We have 3-4 Smart TV's, with access to the internet so you can bring your Netflix account number or similar streaming passwords to use there. We do not have satellite TV Most shows are now available online through Netflix, YouTube Amazon etc. We do not pay for these options but you can use your account from home on any Smart TV. There are a few channels we get through the air with a TV antenna.

Summary: This was a great house for our snowmobile trip. The trails are conveniently located in front of the house. The house has a nice scenic view looking over the lake and has all the amenities to cook and grill out. There is also plenty of parking for your trailers.

Summary: There are a lot of stairs to the lake, the boats that are there had a solar powered battery charger, not great for cloudy days, you had to row back and only one of the boats batteries would work. The basement was cold. The room in the basement is the room with the bunk beds for kids, the heat was locked so you have no control over your comfort. The washing machine was padlocked and not available for use. There were notes everywhere with warnings about doing things wrong and you'll be charged if you do. We went to our friends cabin, it was like a home, no notes everywhere you look. The sheets and blankets were very old and didn't smell great. There were no sheets or blankets that fit the king size bed. The owner was worried about us playing music at a campfire and was very insistant that music is not allowed except with ear buds, however, there is a bar right next door playing music so loud you can hear it inside the house. The shower heads, wow, at least it wasn't a tent with no shower. It's just a lot of money for what was, I feel, not represented appropriately. The living room is beautiful as pictured. There were several games for us to use. The fishing on Little Martha Lake was a lot of fun, especially for kids, caught a lot of blue gills, it was non stop fun. The size of the property was great for our family.

Summary: Alex is great to work with and quick to respond. Logistics and check-in / out went smoothly—great Cabin in the Northwoods on the snowmobile trail. There is plenty of room for our machines and trailers, and it is close to town. We will go back.

Summary: A perfect Northwoods setting. The game room was a nice addition. The location is close to many of our favorite winter activities. Our family of 8 had more than enough beds and bedrooms which allowed for privacy while being all together under one roof. Perfect for a large group of people.

Summary: A group of 11 stayed for our annual snowmobiling trip. The house had plenty of room and is located right next to the trail. Nice little bar and grill next door as well. The cabin was well suited for our trip.

Summary: My family of 8 had an amazing week at this cabin. It was so spacious and had all the amenities you could want for a family get away. We enjoyed every aspect of the Big Bear Family Cabin, from the basement with pool and air hockey, to the lake which was perfect for fishing and swimming. The cabin had everything available you could want. It was so peaceful and secluded, yet there was the convenience of being close to town and having a lodge nearby for a quick meal. Alex was very helpful. We had a wonderful vacation.
