Both cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are available at nearby Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Sleeping Bear Dunes is also great for winter hiking.
Ice fishing is popular in the area as well and Little Platte Lake, Big Platte Lake, and nearby Crystal Lake are all good spots for ice fishing.

Summary: We stayed at the Red Laker last summer. We wanted to try the Brown Bear this year because we wanted a little more space. Cabin was the perfect size and was very private. Enjoyed having a charcoal grill. Used it several times. I missed not being directly on the lake, but it is not too far of a walk to get there. I enjoyed using the rowboat and using my SUP on the lake. The only negative was that my mother was allergic to the sheets and towels that were provided. She has allergies. She had to wash the sheets and towels, which seemed to help. I think it was the fabric softener that had been used to wash them. Will keep that in mind if/when we come back.

Summary: My family and I had a great time staying at this cabin. Brown Bear is just a 2 minute walk through the woods to get to the lake, though it was helpful that my buddies staying in the Red and Green Laker that were right on Lake Little Platte. only issue was that quite a few ants appeared on day 3-4, Kelly had said the cabins had been treated before, and left perimeter spray and traps for me to use. Other than that the cabins were comfortable, and had everything we needed, like kitchen equipment. Even had a blender! Will likely book here again.

Summary: The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed and more. It was cozy and spacious. The location was perfect, just a short drive to many great places. Lake access was a short walk away and it was nice to sit on the dock and stargaze at night. The front porch swing was the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee. The back bedroom had plenty of room for air mattresses, if needed. There was a musty odor when we first arrived, but it cleared out when opening windows and running the ceiling fans. Host is very quick to respond, if needed.

Summary: The Brown Bear is a nice 2 bedroom cabin. Beds are comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need - including a dishwasher. The resort is only a 10 minute drive to the Lake Michigan beach at the end of the Platte River - which I highly recommend (part of Sleeping Bear Dunes NP). We used the (provided) kayak & rowboat on Little Platte lake which is a lovely lake.

Summary: This cabin is so nice! It has thoughtful cabin decor touches as well as a contemporary bathroom and kitchen that makes it really comfortable and relaxing. We had such a fun family time! Lots to do both on the property and in the surrounding area- Lake Michigan, Sleeping bear, Platte river etc.

Summary: Very cute cabin, close to town so we were able to go to grocery and pharmacy no problem. We did not use the available amenities but the lake and such were very close. I like the fact that this cabin was set by itself. No issues from neighbors and road was not busy at all. For us, my husband, myself and our daughter who is 2 along with my mother, we had plenty of room. Saw deer in the morning while enjoying coffee on the back patio. Also loved the photos of the original owners and property. Visiting family from out of state and this really gave us our fix for "up north" MI that we have been missing!

Summary: Brown Bear has clearly been well taken care of over the years. Very clean, comfortable, and well appointed with everything you may need for a break from the hectic life. Prompt response to a minor issue. Loved that I could walk from the cabin to the main property to have morning coffee on the dock and kayak the on the lake in the evening. Very close to one of my favorite places, Sleeping Bear Natl Lakeshore. Would recommend and hope to be able to stay again!
