Birthday Getaway
I celebrated my 48 th Birthday on May 10th. It was amazing we hung out in the jacuzzi, drove to Treetop resorts for a morning and had full body massages. Saturday we drove to Mackinac and went horse back riding on the island followed by some shopping. Then headed back to the cabin where we jumped in the Kayaks on Lake Arrowhead, lit the bonfire jumped back in the jacuzzi and did some fishing on the lake. This was an amazing Birthday, I can’t wait to come again. Oh and the host was very attentive to our questions. It was something to do for all ages 8 years old to 48 years, the 9 of us had a blast.

We had a great 4 days for Spring Break here. It was just what our family needed to unplug. The views were amazing, the hot tub a perk. And the beds are comfy too! We’ll definitely be trying to come back during the summer months.

Great cabin..very nice location
Cabin was very nice, clean, and well appointed. Glad snow shovels were available, needed them to clear stairs , decks, etc. upon arrival. Didn't realize there would be 2 sets of stairs to get in cabin, but once we cleared them of snow, all was good. Beautiful spot, try to ignore the neighbors dogs barking.

Great Vacation!
We had a great stay. The Bear's Den is clean and well appointed. We enjoyed the kayaks and swimming off the dock. We took some day trips to the U.P. and Petoskey and then enjoyed the hot tub and pool table when the sun went down. Would definitely stay again.

Loved our stay!
I have to say, this was THE BEST stay we’ve had at a VRBO! It was spotless (shout out to the cleaning crew😁), had everything we needed. The views were beautiful, and the setting was so peaceful. Communication was great, and fast. We enjoyed fishing, and the walks around the lake. We were able to visit Petoskey, Charlevoix (recommend the Mushroom Houses tour), Mackinac Island, Leland, Suttons Bay,and Traverse City. We can’t recommend this place enough! We are already trying to coordinate the rest of our grown kids schedules so that we can all come back together next year.

Perfect Christmas
We are so grateful to Dorene for her flexibility when an unexpected blizzard brought us to the area early. The Bear’s Den was spacious and welcoming, with many lovely touches for Christmas including a small tree! The boys loved the pool table and we all spent hours in the hot tub as the snow fell.
