Welcome to The Old Lighthouse Church at Bear Lake – a one-of-a-kind vacation rental where historic charm meets modern comfort. Originally built in 1895, this beautifully restored church has been transformed into a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home that comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests (A California King bed, 2 Queen beds, 2 Twin beds and a Full bed).
Step inside and experience soaring ceilings, unique architectural details, and cozy living spaces perfect for families, couples, or groups. The open-concept living and dining area offers plenty of room to relax after a day of exploring Northern Michigan. Cook up a feast in the fully-equipped kitchen or fire up the BBQ grill outside for a sunset dinner under the stars.
Gather around the outdoor fire pit for s’mores and stories, or enjoy mornings with a cup of coffee in the yard that backs up to 2 wooded acres. With ample parking, this home is perfect for guests bringing trailers, toys, or extra vehicles.
