📜 A Note from the Hosts
-We`re Dlux Stays — Daniel, Ben, and Luke — and The Bear Creek Lake House is one of our newest properties. We designed it to be the kind of place where families actually disconnect, kids run around outside, and everyone ends the night around the fire. We can`t wait for you to be among the first to experience it. Book your stay and come find your spot on the lake.

The house and all the amenities was amazing! Any questions we had and all communication was extremely helpful and quick. The lake was great for fishing, we caught lots of trout, pike, and perch. And surprisingly I fell in love with kayaks and took several laps around the lake during our stay. The beds and pillows were so comfortable. And the best part was we were able to take our dogs!!! All neighbors were so friendly. Sightseeing in town was awesome, it’s such a quaint and historic town. The house and property is extremely kid friendly. I honestly can’t recommend this property enough
