Cabane rustique à deux pas de l'eau sur le lac Star

Bear Cottage is an original logging camp and was built in the late 1800’s when the area was a booming mill town. The history of Bear Cottage has been told for generations and it remains one of the oldest, if not the oldest, cabin on the treasured and pristine Star Lake.

In fact, the cabin was built miles from where it currently stands and later dragged via a team of horses across a frozen Star Lake in the early 1900's. Over the years it has been a place for resting during the area’s logging days, and more recently, was one of the camp cabins at the renowned Tony Rizzo’s Silver Musky Resort, where top anglers stayed and enjoyed the bountiful fishing at Star Lake.

In an effort to retain its history, minimal improvements have been made to the two-bedroom cabin, however, there is now a fully functioning kitchen and remodeled bathroom, air conditioning for the hot summer nights, and a natural gas fireplace for cool spring and fall mornings.

Bear Cottage is just steps away from a sandy lakefront with a private pier for your swimming, boating, or fishing enjoyment. It also sits at the mouth of Little Star Creek, which flows into the lake. Here, you'll find yourself enjoying a late night around the lakeside fire pit, or an early morning cup of coffee in the screened porch listening to the gentle flow of the creek, the croak of a bullfrog, or the call of a loon.

If you are looking to enjoy all that the Northwoods has to offer, as well a piece of history and an unplugged budget-friendly lakeside cabin, then Bear Cottage is the place for you.
