About this property

Bear Valley Outdoor Inn is an 'Oasis for Wildlife.'


Book a getaway to relax, hike, and enjoy the peace and quiet of our beautiful area, or to enjoy trout fishing in the local trout stream.

Private, air-conditioned, fully furnished, clean and unique accommodations. Enjoy the comfortable, away-from-it-all atmosphere.

We are located in the heart of beautiful Bear Valley and the confluence of five scenic drainage's. 750 acres of public land lay to the south. The remaining boundaries are surrounded by a privately owned wildlife refuge.

We are centrally located within a half hour of some of the most popular attractions of Southwest WI as well as some unique and tranquil settings within minutes.

Some of the activities that can be enjoyed from our front door are hunting, fishing, biking, motorcycling, snowmobiling, bird and wildlife watching, or just relaxing around one of our camp fires.

Also popular is the quality trout fishing available within walking distance. Trout fishing continues to get better as Bear Creek was recently improved under a stream bank improvement and trout habitat project.

Bear Creek Trout Habitat Improvement Project is nearly all under DNR easements with two walk-in public access points on Hwy 130, as well as access off the bridge on Hwy N, just feet from Outdoor Inn.

We are centrally located to the many popular tourist attractions of Southwest Wisconsin.

We are a short drive from The House on the Rock, American Players Theatre, Governor Dodge State Park, Oakwood Fruit Farm, Frank Lloyd Wright Visitor’s Center, The Springs Golf Resort, Natural Bridge State Park, Our Lady of the Fields Chapel, Taliesin, Plain Westbrook Hills Golf Course, White Mound Park, Rockbridge, Hillside School, Tower Hill State Park, Hyde Mill, Unity Chapel, House on the Rock, Cedar Grove Cheese Co, Wisconsin Dells, and many other interesting tourist attractions.

In order to provide peace and serenity for our wildlife, we are a DRONE FREE zone, and have quiet time after 11:00 pm.

We have Light Speed Fiber Internet, and HD Television Live Streaming & Cloud DVR.

Check in time is 4:00 pm and check out time is 11:00 am, unless different times are prearranged.

Very comfortable and in a beautiful, secluded location, the Pine Unit at Bear Valley Outdoor Inn is ideal for small groups. The ceilings in the kitchen and bathroom are quite low, but it is otherwise an ideal place to stay.

It doesn’t get any better than this! Incredibly outfitted with everything you need for a most comfortable stay. Beautiful property, landscaping and surreal scenery. Bill has gone over and above with his woodworking skills! I wish we could have stayed longer. Loved the entire experience!

Stayed with my husband and daughter for the third time. The place is always clean, and kitchen well stocked if you are cooking a meal. The pine unit is right up the alley for someone who enjoys the outdoors, as well as hunting and fishing as it’s filled with lots of mounts! Had everything we needed for the weekend. Great place to stay if you are looking for peace and quiet away from the city, but within distance for some good hiking (Devil’s Lake State Park), or taking a visit to see Taliesin in the rolling hills of Spring Green.

It was a perfect cabin style for a family or friends! Very well done woodsy decor including some taxidermy. The A/C worked very well. The kitchen had every amenity we needed and was very clean. The bathroom was also well appointed, plenty of towels and wash cloths. The property was beautiful, too. Lovely greenery and landscaping. 20 minutes from Spring Green and attractions there.

This is such a nice property. The grounds are well kept. Our group stayed in both units. They were both very comfortable and had everything we needed. Bill is a wonderful host. The pine unit has a wonderful bird feeder right outside the kitchen window. We would all definitely stay here again. You will love it too.

Highly recommend staying here! If you’re looking for a quiet retreat with some beautiful views, this is the spot. Hosts were very responsive leading up to the visit, and checked in the day we arrived to see if we needed anything. Kitchen very well stocked, very clean cabin. Two thumbs up - what a delight!

Hosts were available and helpful. There was one AC window unit in a corner of the building which could not cool the three bedrooms during our hot and humid stay. Be prepared for taxidermy, especially that of a newborn fawn in glass, looking up at you with big eyes! A step up to the toilet and bathtub is problematic for guest with movement/balance issues

The stay at Bear Valley Inn was beyond my expectations! The cabin was clean, amazingly appointed, full of local items, and in a beautiful setting. The surrounding area is lovely to explore especially if you are used to living in a city.Bill and his family were so welcoming and helpful and my friend and I were able to relax in the beauty of nature!
