Overall the cabin was perfect for a couple couldn’t imagine more than that maybe a couple small children. Peaceful quiet. Seating was limited in living room area and the recliner was broken so that was disappointing since we spent time inside due to the rainy weather. I would have loved to open the windows but there were no screens. Other then that the place was as perfect as it could be.

Very clean and cozy cabin. Our host Chris was very attentive and communicated exceptionally well! We had a lot of adventures since we are very familiar with the area and all the surrounding cities.The bonus was being on a beautiful stretch of the Betsie River. Hubby had some great salmon catches during our stay. Before leaving we were allowed to check out the big house that Chris rents out. That was a beauty. Probably get that one next time for more room and a better view of the river from the back deck.

The Bear Den was incredibly cozy. Perfect size for the three of us. Felt newer, was very clean and you can’t beat the peace and quiet. Check In/Out was super easy.

Labor Day Getaway
Booked this for a fishing weekend with our 8yo son. It was perfect for the three of us. A 1 minute walk to the River, clean, large parking area for truck and boat super easy check in/check out. Would love to book again with extended family on the main house!

Cute cabin
We picked this cabin because it was pet friendly, close to the places we wanted to visit and also had good reviews regarding cleanliness. We had a good time and would recommend to others.

Another GREAT visit!
We have stayed at the Bear Den multiple times for our ski weekends at Crystal Mountain and absolutely love this tiny home. Perfectly wonderful every time! Going again in 2 weeks. Can’t wait!
