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. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Porch/lanai ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Lobby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/990000/982500/982420/6bd3bef7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Waters Of Minocqua Minocqua - Pool - Hot tub - Pet-friendly - Kids’ pool 8.8 Excellent 1,012 reviews £110 includes taxes & fees 1 Mar - 2 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-01&endDate=2026-03-02&selected=982420&PinnedHotelID=982420&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Standard Condo, 2 Bedrooms | Balcony view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/18000000/17300000/17290900/17290845/fee71ec6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Pointe Hotel and Suites Minocqua - Pool - Hot tub - Breakfast included - Parking included 9.2 Wonderful 1,003 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-28&endDate=2026-03-01&selected=17290845&PinnedHotelID=17290845&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/30000/23500/23440/15fcdb9e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Centerstone Resort Lake-Aire Tomahawk - Breakfast included - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 476 reviews £70 includes taxes & fees 1 Mar - 2 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-01&endDate=2026-03-02&selected=23440&PinnedHotelID=23440&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101560000/101554800/101554736/w1284h961x0y10-29cd5769.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful Northwoods Getaway Eagle River - Breakfast included - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 8.6 Excellent 28 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-28&endDate=2026-03-01&selected=101554736&PinnedHotelID=101554736&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39180000/39172500/39172471/8cccf74b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Newly remodeled lake home w/panoramic views & private swimming area Presque Isle - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 9.4 Exceptional 72 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-28&endDate=2026-03-01&selected=39172471&PinnedHotelID=39172471&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33950000/33942800/33942737/13f6f3e3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private beach & pier at this cozy lakefront cottage in a quiet bay.5 lake chain.

It offers a delightful retreat back to nature, where you can feel the soft ground beneath your feet and relax by the shore with your toes in the water, or snuggle next to a cozy fire outside. Ideal for a getaway, you can spend your time catching small bluegill off the dock or take your boat out to explore the many other fishing opportunities around the lake. I absolutely love this place and will definitely continue to stay here. ##### Derek C.

So we were stuck inside a lot, the cabin is “nice” but it would have been better with Wi-Fi. Property manager was great. The location feels like you are staying in someone’s yard. We wanted to bring our little dog with us, so our choices were limited, we don’t usually vacation during peak season either but it seemed pricey. ##### Roger S.

The screen porch is great but the door does not close so it is defeating the purpose. Rooms are dark and crowded. Why are there serving pieces for 36 people when there is hardly room for 3? Was hoping it would be better this time but it was not. Kind of a bummer. ##### Nancy P.

The cottage was very clean, comfortable, and cozy. A campfire by the water under a full moon can't be beat! A great retreat and setting to spend a week in the northwoods. Our dog had a great time and we loved that it was pup friendly! We will be back next year. ##### Laura M.
