Other than that. The house is gorgeous and we’ve been there more than 6 times thank you.

Family Reunion

We come to the Blue Bear Hideout every year for our family reunion. The place is perfect to fit a group and has everything you can think of to have a good time. We spend all our time in the garage - what a blast! Highly recommend “Garage Pong” for those that are not skilled ping pong players and end up hitting the ball off the garage floor most of the time. Jenny is great and very easy to communicate with. We will be back again next year!

Nice little getaway!

The property was as advertised. The first floor primary bedroom was nicely appointed. The living room was good as well. The game area was very nice for the evenings when the mosquitoes came calling. A couple items to note. There are 3 additional bedrooms downstairs. The one at the foot of the stairs was nice. The other two did not have ceiling insulation and the walls did not go to the ceiling; you could basically hear any conversations going on upstairs or downstairs. Basement was a little musty smelling as well. Limited utensils, in fact no butter knives , just plastic and the fry pans definitely have seen better days. Jenny , the host was very responsive. And answered any and all our questions.

Wonder experience!!

Our stay was amazing. The host was extremely accommodating and took care of all our needs. The home fit our group well and provided plenty of space to spread out and make memories. Located less than an hour from traverse city and a short drive from bear lake, beach days were very enjoyable. The property was clean and well kept. Lots of kitchen storage and counter space as well as outdoor grill made big meals a piece of cake. Large TV’s throughout the house were amazing for entertainment and movie nights. Pool table and ping pong in the garage were a big hit and drew people outside, as well as the screen garage door for an indoor/outdoor experience. Overall we would absolutely recommend a visit at the Blue Bear Hideout!!

Guys weekend.

This property was perfect for our group. Main house was perfect for sleeping and some cooking. We spent most of the time in the garage. We did some fishing the first couple of days but the weather took that out of the picture. We had a great time playing cards and pool along with watching football on the big screen tv. This is are second year here and we will be back.
