    The Space:

    Whether you're visiting to spend time on the lakes, hike the trails, or just enjoy a change of scenery with the family for a while, Napping Bear Lodge is your key to all these things and so much more! Located just six miles from the heart of downtown Eagle River, this three-story, waterfront gem boasts high-end amenities, wide open spaces, and amazing lake views from inside and out. On the main level, the visiting chefs in your group will find everything they need to prepare quick snacks or elaborate dinners in the well-equipped, full kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar. Meet up for meals at the adjacent table or step outside onto the furnished deck for a summertime alfresco dining experience. Back inside, the main living area offers plenty of comfortable seating options, a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, a warming gas fireplace, and a wall-mounted TV. An additional sunroom provides a cozy spot to relax in with a good book and a cup of tea on lazy or rainy afternoons. The fun really begins on the lower level of this home where you'll find a second living area with a gas fireplace and large TV, a table and chairs for board and card games, a full-size pool table, and a wet bar! From here, step out to the patio and take a walk across the yard and down to the private dock where you can cast a line and fish for musky and panfish, or set off in the provided kayaks.

We enjoyed our stay

We loved our stay at Napping Bear Lodge. There was plenty of space for our group of 12; both indoors and out. Customer service staff was very helpful when we had a plumbing issue, sending an individual to fix the issue very promptly.

Family and golf getaway

The property was very nice as advertised. My wives sisters and their husbands do an annual golfing getaway and Eagle River area was our choice this year. Loved the house which served our group well. Enjoyed a fire pit night and several games of billiards. Would highly recommend this home.

Family, Friendly, Family Ready

Our experiences was very good. It was our first getaway with all of our families together and everyone was very happy. The house was beautifully set up and accommodated the whole family including a high chair and playpen/bed for babies. There were only a couple of comlaints. The dishwasher was hard to figure out,The screen doors did not work the best, .and not enough garbage bags. All in all it was a great stay! Fantastic location!

House review

The house was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. We had a wonderful time. The only real issues were the lack of cleats on the pier to tie up the boat, made it a lot more work to secure the boat. Also the sliding glass doors to deck were very difficult to move and the kitchen faucet was a huge pain; hard to get the water hot and then hard to get it completely off. That being said, it is a great place and the fishing off the pier was terrific.

Great for Big Families- Very Spacious

We had 4 families stay in the house with 2 dogs. Families consisted of grandparents and siblings with kids. They did have a pack n play and high chair for kids. The description was very accurate of what to expect. It was very clean, very spacious, and great view. Also, we found out the last day the canoe in the great room lights up- be sure to check that out! It is also nearby Eagle Lake which is a nice big lake. Some things to note if you are bringing dogs they do need to be leashed at all times. There is not really a swimming entry by the lake- you still could swim just steep bank to get down and rocky in the lake. Last, the driveway is just as it shows in the picture it is not longer so if you are bringing any trailer just be aware of that. We were able to fit a boat trailer and truck length wise, but that put the front of the truck almost to the road.

Great Cabin for a weekend getaway

I highly recommend this home in Eagle River. Location and amenities are great. Close enough to town that you can get there easily, but still far enough away that it is peaceful.

Great place for a family vacation

Napping Bear Lodge is a nice, large comfortable house that worked great for our family reunion vacation. It is situated right on Voyager Lake with a nice pier. We enjoyed having access to the two kayaks and fishing off the dock. We rented a pontoon boat from Boat Sport Marina which is very close by. Good access to Eagle River and boating to the other lakes.
