Everything during our stay was as expected. The hosts were very helpful and friendly, and it was a good experience.

Love this place. Great for getting away from all the noise of life.
Clean and cozy
Christina Doku
We enjoyed our time in the cabin. We felt it was clean and appropriated the fridge and microwave.
Another great week at the Brown Bear!
Beth Hine
We love coming every year to the Brown Bear! It is always comfortable and relaxing for us. I will say that it was much warmer this year. we brought two fans just in case and even with all the fans and ceiling fans on it was still warm . The only thing I would like to draw your attention to is that the largest fan, behind the front door, did not work when plugged in. Also, the recycling was full both times we tried to empty our bin, sorry for leaving it full.
Lots of potential
John Telotte
Amazing location, outdated property. Jean the property manager was very helpful! While the house was well stocked with everything needed for an extended stay, new appliances would be great. All of the furniture is old and tired. Overgrown hedges block the lake view. We did enjoy our stay, except for the road construction in the neighborhood that forced everyone to park near Main Street and haul groceries up to the house. Two of our group are in their 80s, so it was a challenge for some. The view and location are 5 star, house is maybe 3 star max. But lots of potential with some updates.
Great
Kristen Fritz
We loved our stay here (5 adults) and would book again. The location was perfect with a beautiful lake view and made a great base for exploring Elk Rapids, Traverse City and Torch Lake. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed. The property manager was friendly and responsive when we had questions.
Best kept secret
Deanna Mcpherson
At the behest of our son we met up at Twin Birch Resort for a picturesque family vacation. We stayed in the red cottage while they stayed in the larger log Cain, the Kodiak. This had to be one of the best and most relaxing places to visit. We loved the rustic cabin with well appointed kitchen and screened porch with swing. The open windows and fresh cool breezes kept us cozy with the hum of fans. Close to the Sleeping Bear Dunes and Lake Michigan sites and the incredible Honor Family Market for the best bras and essentials. We are already planning our next trip.
Great Stay
Sarah Grant
Great stay as always. My family and I love the area and will definitely be back to Manistee Lake and Forrest’s Cabin. The cabin was stocked with all the essentials needed for a relaxing trip.
Lorlee Cottage
Joanne Houlihan
This was by far the best cottage we have stayed in for the week with our family. Heavily supplied, very clean, fantastic kitchen, Great Lake, and plenty of room! Will definitely be going back.
