Great Stay with a beautiful view
Beautiful little place , the deck overlooking the lake was a really nice touch to have. Property manager was awesome , we had one hiccup during arrival and she quickly made it right along with a little treat for compensation. She was a pleasure to work with and we would certainly stay with this company again.

Nice Property and Beautiful View!
We enjoyed our stay at the Bear’s Den! It is a well appointed property with a beautiful view of the lake. Danielle was super helpful, answered all of our questions and got us set up with a buoy for our boat. The only downside is that the property is right next to the highway so it’s quite noisy when you’re sitting out on the deck.

Amazing view and Danielle made it very easy to communicate any questions. There is stairs to reach this amazing suite that I don’t recall in description, my husband has a bad knee so had to choose wisely when to leave. But the view!!! WOW
