Wonderful
We had a great 4 days for Spring Break here. It was just what our family needed to unplug. The views were amazing, the hot tub a perk. And the beds are comfy too! We’ll definitely be trying to come back during the summer months.

Great cabin..very nice location
Cabin was very nice, clean, and well appointed. Glad snow shovels were available, needed them to clear stairs , decks, etc. upon arrival. Didn't realize there would be 2 sets of stairs to get in cabin, but once we cleared them of snow, all was good. Beautiful spot, try to ignore the neighbors dogs barking.

Great place to relax
Wonderful place to stay for the whole family. There is a lot to do if you just want to stay in, or Gaylord is a wonderful place for your shopping needs. We spent a day walking downtown, lunch out and picking up a few thinks at Meijers.

Great Vacation!
We had a great stay. The Bear's Den is clean and well appointed. We enjoyed the kayaks and swimming off the dock. We took some day trips to the U.P. and Petoskey and then enjoyed the hot tub and pool table when the sun went down. Would definitely stay again.

Loved our stay!
I have to say, this was THE BEST stay we’ve had at a VRBO! It was spotless (shout out to the cleaning crew😁), had everything we needed. The views were beautiful, and the setting was so peaceful. Communication was great, and fast. We enjoyed fishing, and the walks around the lake. We were able to visit Petoskey, Charlevoix (recommend the Mushroom Houses tour), Mackinac Island, Leland, Suttons Bay,and Traverse City. We can’t recommend this place enough! We are already trying to coordinate the rest of our grown kids schedules so that we can all come back together next year.

About the host

Hosted by Northern Lakeshore Vacation Home Rentals LLC

Host profile image
My husband, John and I truly love everything Up North offers from Lake living, trail riding, hiking, boating to Snowmobiling as this area defines the word Vacationland plus the clean air and stars in the sky are so vibrant!

The homes which we offer are our own personal paradises which we stay at as much as possible.

We love sharing our Vacation Homes to create memories with their families just as we have as well as give you an experience living in the area which you will never forget. All the homes are strictly set up for the Vacationer in mind and all in highly desirable areas with so many different type of activities imaginable for any age group. The homes which we offer have amenities which everyone needs (like me!!!) such as Wi-Fi, Cable TV, Air Conditioning, updated bathrooms and kitchens plus kayaks to use with each and every lake front home, some homes having also canoes and Paddle boats and all the homes have their own private Outdoor Hot Tub usable all year 'round which are all Pet Friendly (fee posted in house rules) as our four-legged family members love it Up North too as you won't have to kennel or have someone watch your pet.

Hope to have you stay!
