‘Wilderness Acres’ Retreat on Bear Lake!
Trade city living for lazy lakeside days when you stay at 'Wilderness Acres.’ This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation rental in McGrath is nestled on the shores of beautiful Bear Lake. This cozy cabin — surrounded by woodland views and a retreat level of seclusion — offers the ideal stay for families.
