Great Cabin for a weekend getaway
I highly recommend this home in Eagle River. Location and amenities are great. Close enough to town that you can get there easily, but still far enough away that it is peaceful.

Great place for a family vacation
Napping Bear Lodge is a nice, large comfortable house that worked great for our family reunion vacation. It is situated right on Voyager Lake with a nice pier. We enjoyed having access to the two kayaks and fishing off the dock. We rented a pontoon boat from Boat Sport Marina which is very close by. Good access to Eagle River and boating to the other lakes.
This is our 3rd year in a row staying at this house and it has been great every year. Very clean, a lot of space, great views, and a great place for friends to gather and enjoy some peace and quiet.
We loved our stay at Napping Bear Lodge. There was plenty of space for our group of 12; both indoors and out. Customer service staff was very helpful when we had a plumbing issue, sending an individual to fix the issue very promptly.

Great home in a great location
This place is immaculate. A lot of space for everyone, comfortable beds, stunning design and decorated as it should be for this area. Just a beautiful home.
It's a great location and an excellent house for large families. Home was very clean and spacious. Communication with the property manager was great! My only recommendation to the owners would be to do some maintenance. Some things were minor (like the kitchen faucet not properly working) and others were almost dangerous (like one off the sliding doors coming off the tracks). Also the years could use some better care but hey, you're there to hike & fish, right? Overall a great time but for the price we expected those finishing touches like other VRBO properties we've stayed at.

Loved!
Location and cabin were beautiful. Easy access. Very comfortable; a home away from home.
The location is beautiful, and the house is very pretty. There is room to gather for larger groups and the rooms are spacious. The view of the lake is stunning. We will definitely be back!

Great home for a large group!
The home is situated in the perfect spot for boating on the chain of lakes. The home is well designed and worked really well for our group which included 7 adults and 3 young children.
