About The Owner

My wife Paula and I vacationed with our family in the Longville area for 15 years before discovering this beautiful property on Little Boy Lake, our favorite lake in the area. I am a chef, and my wife is a physical education teacher, so we needed to keep both of our 'hobbies' in mind when building. lots of room for cooking and dining, as well as all the recreation that you could want from fishing, biking, golf, boating, canoeing, kayaking (Paula's favoite activity at the lake), and of course just relaxing on the deck with freinds and a glass of wine. It is our goal that you enjoy Bear Point as much as we do, and invite you to have as much fun and enjoyment on Little Boy Lake as we have discovered over the years since building the Cabin at Bear Point.

Enjoy your virtual tour of Bear Point.

Thanks for visiting!

Doug & Paula Oaks

The Owner purchased this cabin in 2000
Why The Owner chose Longville

Little Boy is a beautiful lake that is off the beaten trail and has a reputation as a quiet and secluded lake. It is private, yet only 5 minutes to town, with easy access to any necessities that you might require from bait and gas to restaurants and gift shops. You are about 90 minutes from Itasca State park, and the source of the Mississippi River.

What makes this cabin unique

Rustic privacy with all the modern amenities is the best description of Bear Point Island. While enjoying the seclusion, you can feel secure in the fact that you are never more than a few minutes away from whatever you might need including, groceries, coffee shop, bait & tackle stores, boat & motor service, golf, movie theatre, state parks, and many other outdoor activities.

Tournament Musky fishing lake, Minnesota top 100 Walleye lakes, great panfishing for kids,

When spending a long weekend at Bear Point Resort, our group was elated. All we had to do was bring food and games and fishing equipment for a relaxing and enjoyable quality time. Everything you need is at the home! It's effortless. The kind owner answers all questions promptly and it's a no hassle experience to rent for the long weekend. It's a fast drive from Twin Cities! We are already planning on renting again in the next year! Thank you so much for an incredible location with wonderful amenities! What a great time I had with good friends.

Winter Wonderland

5 of 5
Submitted: February 28, 2012 Stayed: February 2012
For a unique experience we traveled by land bridge to a custom built lake home destination nestled atop a 17 acre prvate island. While relaxing inside cozy and warm, with all the comforts and amenities, we were able to take in the serenity nature has to offer as viewed through large windows in all directions. Our spacious kitchen was designed by a private chef, which allowed us to prepare tasty culinary creations. When we ventured outside to cross country ski, snowshoe or hike we took in the breath taking beauty of the lake and surrouning shoreline. Fishing through the ice was the most rewarding. Little Boy Lake with all its structure and clarity of water holds prize catches of walleyes, crappies, large northerns and muskies. The near by town of Longville was friendly and available to handle all our needs. It was simply a "Winter Wonderland" get away and we look forward to returning next season.
