Year Round Big Bear Creek Cottage! This home sits on 1.28 Acres with 400ft of Big Bear Creek Frontage. The creek is wide here with large, level banks. Perfect for fishing or relaxing. The stairs to the creek are sturdy with a landing and bench 1/2 way down. The yard is a gardeners dream with too many perennials to list! A private pond brings frogs and birds to this little slice of paradise. There's also a greenhouse, 2 car garage and an additional outbuilding so no shortage of storage here. This is a quiet place off a paved road with a paved driveway, yet still close to Brethren, Kaleva and Manistee.
