THE PROPERTY
The Bear Path Lodge provides a large two acre wooded lot with gorgeous lake views. The house is located on the west side of Little Spider Lake on highway 51, yet set back for ultimate privacy. Little Spider Lake is family friendly and great for kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, floating, tubing, jet skiing, and water skiing.
This house is also prime location for all seasons of sports including hiking and snow shoeing in the winter. One of the biggest draws to this home is its proximity to some of Vilas County’s 700 miles of snow mobile trails. One of the trails crosses the end of its driveway for easy access! You are located only minutes from dozens of ATV trails as well. The property allows for plenty of parking for any of your recreational vehicles.
We understand that the stairs to the lake are not always easy. For everyone's convenience a Hill Hiker inclined electric elevator system was recently. This will allow for access for all to the lake and brand new shoreline deck.
