Great little getaway

The property was wonderful! Beautiful house with great amenities! The owners left use a great bottle of wine for our stay. Would love to stay again. The only downfall was the internet connection downstairs we weren’t able to use the tv downstairs.

Pristine clean and quiet location

This property was probably the cleanest one we’ve ever been to. I don’t think there’s a single thing that they’ve forgotten to provide. The property manager was very quick to respond to any of my messages. The neighborhood was very quiet. We felt very much at home here.

Wonderful house and location

My husband and our son joined me and we absolutely loved the bear den. It was exactly what we needed. We brought our clothing and groceries and just enjoyed the house. Very cozy close to everything a beautiful location. We had the best of both worlds Michigan and Wisconsin. The house is extremely clean and the beds comfy as can be. After a day of hiking at Porcupine Mountain the jacuzzi was the best. We grilled all of our dinners and for lunch the wonderful people at “ Bread Superior “ made our sandwiches their bread us the best!!! It’s eight minutes from the house. Our first night after driving all day the “ Iron Nugget” was very welcoming wonderful staff as well as great service and large portion dinner. My family thoroughly enjoyed all the games too as we had one rainy day and we ventured out to the Cranberry bogs and enjoyed the games and tv. On our last day we went to Bayvisw, Wi and did the “ Fruit Loop “ tour of orchards which were beautiful some with wild flower fields and all the welcoming people. We also sampled some wine and listened to music. The “ Bear Den” is the perfect vacation home and Tracey is the best hostess. We will definitely return one day.

Anniversary getaway recharge

The Bear Den was so cozy and well appointed. We enjoyed kicking back, relaxing, recharging and getting away from our normal hectic work schedules. Perfect location for hiking, waterfalling, and seeing the sights. Our hosts were wonderful, communication was excellent, and we had everything we needed to make our stay so enjoyable. Would highly recommend staying here and hope to again in the future!

The Bear Den is a Winner

What a wonderful place to stay for our ski/snowshoe long weekend! The house was conveniently located close to the trails, and it is as cute as it is cozy. The full kitchen has everything you need, and the beds are especially comfortable. The hot tub was also a nice treat after a day of skiing and snowshoeing. The place is very clean and really felt like home away from home. Tracy is a wonderful host. We’d absolutely recommend the Bear Den to others and hope to return soon!
