Hotels near Bear Lake, MI

“Very clean, quiet, friendly motel. The owners live onsite and are very accommodating to all requests. The location is convinced to many areas in Traverse. Minutes from Bear Lake and Manistee. We enjoyed our stay there very much.

Rooms: Very clean and comfortable.

Nearby activities: Traverse City, Manistee, Fishing, Boating, Kayaking. Winter activities also.”

“Great location, nice amenities. As with many historic resorts, it is a little rough around the edges. All things considered, the resort is quite a bargain.

Nearby activities: Nice shuffleboard courts and playground area on PPI grounds. Tennis courts are located at the local high school. Pier jumping is always great fun, as is climbing (and running down!) sand dunes (Angel Slide, Old Baldy, and Abram’s (?) Bluff - QUITE the challenge). Many hiking & biking trails are nearby. Best of all, Arcadia Bluffs golf courses are 15 minutes away. The views from the clubhouse patio and the Adirondack chairs overlooking the 18th green are spectacular!

Safety: The family felt completely safe, both while on PPI grounds and in the surrounding area. Everyone we met was quite friendly and very personable.”
