We had a great time using the hot tub and playing pool in the evening and fishing off the dock in the day time. Loved being able to have our dog with us. Everything was made very easy from check in to check out

Great place to relax

Wonderful place to stay for the whole family. There is a lot to do if you just want to stay in, or Gaylord is a wonderful place for your shopping needs. We spent a day walking downtown, lunch out and picking up a few thinks at Meijers.

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.

The quintessential ski palace

Dorene was so communicative and sweet. She made settling into our stay fun and easy. The place has everything you need for a nature-packed, activity-filled stay up north! Can’t recommend this place enough.

Wonderful

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 March 2024
We do have it posted that there are stairs down to chalet plus chalet is 3 levels (more stairs) Hey, your own stair master! We did clean the snow prior to their arrival but we did get more abundance of snow after all day long and they did not let us know exactly when they would be arriving as they asked for an earlier check in. I know the weather wasn’t to their liking but up until end of March it's still snowmobile season. We would have investigated any barking dog had we have known.

Nice

Description accurate. Nice place and amenities. Two minor issues: coffee maker is very slow & upstairs bedroom is a bit warm (poor ventilation).
Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 19 August 2024
Thanks for staying! Coffeemaker just needs some vinegar run through it but we did have 2 coffeemakers at that location. The second one was in the storage room in the basement. Home has central or whole home fan air not sure what the poor ventilation was as we do have fans as well and the window can also be opened for some extra air flow. It's a loft bedroom and I do know that chalets & top floor level loft rooms in homes tend to be warmer up on the top level since heat rises. Perfect for the winter temps since it's more cold in Northern Michigan than warm:-)

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.
