Bear’s Den: lakefront cabin & hot tub

Start your morning with lake views and end the day in your private hot tub. Bear’s Den brings everyone together with warm wood interiors, a spacious deck and four bedrooms for up to 10 guests in Gaylord.

Gather in the open living and dining area beneath vaulted ceilings, with large windows looking toward the water. The full kitchen includes a gas stove, oven, dishwasher, Keurig coffee maker and a generous island for preparing meals together. Take dinner outside to the deck, or settle in beside the stone fireplace after a day exploring Northern Michigan.

The four bedrooms include one king, two queens and two twin bunk beds. Three bathrooms give your group room to get ready. Central heating and air conditioning, an in-home washer and dryer, a workspace and free on-site parking make longer visits comfortable.

Outside, enjoy the private hot tub, BBQ grill, backyard and direct lake frontage. Three kayaks are provided for use when conditions permit. You have exclusive access to the home, with self check-in instructions supplied before arrival.

Please note: the dock is seasonal and is removed in the fall until spring installation. Confirm dock and fire-pit availability for your dates; summer photos show seasonal amenities. Lake views and lakefront access remain, but lake activities depend on weather and conditions. Exterior security cameras monitor the property perimeter; there are no interior cameras. Check-in is after 4 PM and checkout is before 10 AM.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

House was beautiful and plenty of space for our party of 8. Kids had a blast fishing off the dock and swimming in the lake. Would definitely come back

Treetops Weekend

We had 3 couples for our weekend stay in Gaylord. We were up for the weekend to enjoy the Beer/Wine Festival and Sylvan days at the Treetops resort. The place was perfect. Less than 4 miles to the resort and close to restaurants and bars for food/drinks afterwards. Would be a fantastic place to rent in the warmer months since it is on a small lake.

A perfect winter getaway

We booked the cabin for a team retreat and couldn’t have picked a better location for a cozy winter getaway. The cabin was very well maintained and offered all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. We had some unfortunate issues with the power the first day due to a winter storm, but the owner was quick to rectify and went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

The host was very kind and welcoming. Responded to all questions quickly and efficiently. The house was very nice and clean. The only thing is that the cover for the hot tub definitely needs to be replaced. But everything else was great!

Wonderful property!

We booked this beautiful home for our group of 6 for a wintery weekend indoors! It did not disappoint. Super clean, with good quality furnishings and plenty of amenities and little extras. It’s really superb! We have high expectations, and we enjoyed this property immensely. We will be rebooking this summer!

Quiet getaway

The house was very clean. Plenty of room for our party of 5. Communication with the host was top notch. The lake side of the house could use some manicuring and the hot tub could use some TLC. But other than that the stay was great
