The Bear's Den was one of the best experiences we have ever had with a vacation rental.The hosts were responsive and genuinely invested in our having a great experience. Despite an area wide blackout when we arrived, the AC's were on and the house was cool and everything up & running thanks to an automatic generator. Our hosts had left a welcome with all S'more makings, which was a big hit with the grandchildren. The house itself was perfect for our extended family. Clean, spacious rooms, and every amenity we could ask for. A beautiful wrap around deck overlooking the water was a favorite spot for the adults ... and our children claimed the lower level game area for themselves immediately. They even all put down their phones for the weekend, which we loved!As hosts, I would offer Marc & Tina the highest rating!We look forward to many additional trips to The Bear's Den for years to come! Thank you for a great family memory!!

About the host

Hosted by Marc Theroux

Host profile image
My family and I have lived in this house for seven years. We have recently moved into another house and instead of selling The Bear’s Den we decided to share it with others. This is how much we love the property. We just can’t bring ourselves to sell it.

Why they chose this property

The Fish Cove location is a wonderful, fairly secluded area with a nice stunning cove. Boating families seek out the cove to fish and just anchor for the day. During the day you may hear the sounds of families enjoying the lake and in the evening you usually hear not much at all.

The property also offers access to a private beach and a private concrete boat launching ramp.

What makes this property unique

We try our best to equip the property with almost anything you need to enjoy your time with us.
While most other properties don’t, The Bear’s is equipped with propane, firewood, toiletries and fishing gear making your trip to multiple stores unnecessary.
The property also has a 16 foot dock space available for your boat. We can currently hold up to a 20’ boat. We are working providing a larger dock space for next season.

We also have a ton of games. The game room on the lower level is a family fun spot! Pool, ping pong, Ringo, bean bag toss, and a couple life-sized games to name a few! When you’re done playing, relax in our hot tub that is sanitized and ready for your use.
