This is a sweet cozy house in excellent condition, just perfect for the two of us to spend a few days downhill skiing nearby. The hot tub was most welcome after a day on the slopes, and the king bed was extremely comfortable. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Great little getaway

The property was wonderful! Beautiful house with great amenities! The owners left use a great bottle of wine for our stay. Would love to stay again. The only downfall was the internet connection downstairs we weren’t able to use the tv downstairs.

Starting point for Porcupine Mtns

This property is perfect for a couple or small family. Calling it the "Bear's Den" hardly describes the wonderful interior decor. Very good wi-fi. Host's dining recommendations were spot on.

Anniversary getaway recharge

The Bear Den was so cozy and well appointed. We enjoyed kicking back, relaxing, recharging and getting away from our normal hectic work schedules. Perfect location for hiking, waterfalling, and seeing the sights. Our hosts were wonderful, communication was excellent, and we had everything we needed to make our stay so enjoyable. Would highly recommend staying here and hope to again in the future!
