Son’s wedding weekend

My family really enjoyed the time at Bear’s Den. The beds were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked to the hilt (pots/pans/plates/bowls/cooking utensils/spices/etc). Communication with the host was very helpful and easy. Check in/Check out procedures were very simple and concise.Would definitely recommend this property - especially if you are heading to Ski Cooper.

Fantastic cabin in the woods

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bear's Den. It exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect spot for our family. Love the open kitchen and living room, with a view over the lake. I could imagine enjoying this in any season. We'll be back!

The property and location were great! The view was outstanding and more than we expected! The centralized location allowed for a few excursions as well as some good hiking. The pillows could use and upgrade, though. Overall, we had a wonderful time.

Absolutely beautiful, super close to ski resort!

This cabin was beautiful. The views of the frozen lake WOW! It was so close the ski resort we were able to come back and relax eat and head back up in no time at all. Only issue we had was the driveway is at a slope and was iced over. We didn’t notice and when leaving we couldn’t stop and slid into a snowbank and that in an SUV. Did some damage but nothing major. Just something to be aware of. And we are from Iowa so ice and snow is nothing new to us.
