About this property

Little Bear Cottage-3 blocks from the lake!

Come enjoy the fully renovated little Bear cottage in Russell’s Point just a few blocks from the water (3 blocks from the spillway), less than a mile from restaurants, 20 minutes to the ski resort, and a short trip to the beach for swimming and the boat dock. (Closest boat ramp is Moundwood 1.9 miles away) Little Bear Cottage is only 520 square feet but every inch has been remodeled and redecorates as modern farmhouse with a masculine touch. There is a queen bed in each of the two bedrooms. Enjoy the over stuffed overly warn leather sofa, farmhouse kitchen sink, and abundance of pillows and comfort. You will not be disappointed with the charm and details of our quant cottage. There is a huge outdoor deck with a propane fire table for relaxing and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows at night. A propane grill is on the front deck also.

The cottage is located about 3 blocks from a couple great fishing spots that can be reached on foot or driving.

The kitchen is equipped with an apartment sized stove and fridge, a coffee maker, microwave, and cooking essentials. We provide pots and pans, silverware, cooking utensils, bottle opener, knives, cutting boards, salt and pepper. On the coffee car we have at least two types of coffee with creamer, sugar, and low calorie sweetener.

Each of the two bedrooms has a queen sized bed. These rooms are tight with about 20 inches on each sized of the bed. We have many hooks no the walls to hang bags and clothing.

The only heat source is an open propane heater In the living room. It warms the cottage up fast and extremely warm if needed but I’m the heater can get HOT. Caution with touching or having small children near it to avoid burns.

The cottage has a window A/C unit and multiple fans. At just over 500 square feet, the A/C unit keeps it cool and comfortable.

The driveway is a total length of 42 feet and gravel. There is no guest access to the garage.

We love to offer a place for families to bring their dogs! We want you to enjoy your entire family on vacation, so bring your fur babies. We have a one time $50 fee for dogs to stay. (Up to 2 dogs)

Great little hideaway close to the lake!

We met two adult children for a Father's Day trip for dad and this place fit the bill! Cozy beds and thanks for the treats at check in! Super cute kitchen, very clean and plenty of outdoor space to admire the fireflies in the evening. A short walk to the lake was nice to strech ourlegs afterthe car trip. Very quiet neighborhood, nothing weird or concerning.

About the host

Hosted by Wesley Bolton

Host profile image
My wife and I are just starting our hand at short term rentals! We are very excited to offer short term fully furnished homes for people to vacation in. I am a Robotics and Maintenance Technician and my fiancé is a Dental Hygienist. We are both fairly young in our careers and were looking for additional streams of revenue. When we saw the cottage for the first time we loved it and thought that you would too!

Why they chose this property

This property is in a quiet neighborhood, it backs up to a farm, has an oversized yard, and only a few blocks from the lake and downtown. It’s just the right size to get away and be together with family, friends, and loved ones.

What makes this property unique

Experience a small piece of Indian lake in a small updated cottage on the edge of town next to a corn field.
