Charming Cabin w/great views & eagle watching!

We loved our New Year’s Eve weekend visit with our family at this cabin. The cabin has cozy and rustic decor and was in a great location! We enjoyed heading right outside to the dock in the mornings for eagle watching and observing the ice fishermen on the lake. The cabin is centrally located to Boulder Junction which was a fantastic northwoods town with lots of great local restaurants and hiking trails (and snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, & snowmobiling, weather-permitting). The owners were very friendly and accommodating. We’ll definitely be back to visit again!

Northwoods Getaway

Very much enjoyed the little cabin! Other cabins are right next to each other. Everyone around us was quiet so no problem there but if you’re looking for a secluded place this would not be it. If you have kids this may be a good place for you…. A nice little beach for them to play at, a small playground & a couple of basketball hoops! A rowboat was there for our use as well as one kayak. I would recommend this place if you like all those things.

Cozy Winter Cabin!

Cozy cabin with a very pretty view of the lake. Has everything you need for a relaxing stay with lots of restaurants nearby. They have a nice big screen TV that we enjoyed watching the Super Bowl on! And we love the fact that we have the option of bringing our dogs.

Biking the trails

The bike trail system in the area is amazing. We were able to fit in a few rides even though the weather was quite chilly. At the end of our rides it was nice to come back to the warm and comfortable cabin.

Nice escape

Our escape up North was rewarded by finding a very nice place to stay. The cabin itself had every thing you could possibly need. I was even able to watch the Packer game on the big screen tv while my wife took the provided boat out to fish. This cabin is located just a few miles from several nice restaurants, and bike trails. We also met the owners who are very nice, and who went out of their way to hand deliver some items we had left at the cabin.

The only thing that might be improved would be trailer parking - it was tight and if other trailers had been there, we may have had a problem.

Repeat visitor!

We just stayed at the Bear Den for the third time and have already rebooked for next year! It’s an adorable cabin, very clean. The three seasons room is to die for! My husband and I came up for a long weekend getaway and to go fishing. We bring our fishing boat and utilize the dock. The lake is very small and quite with easy access to the larger wild cat lake through a channel. There are close neighbors since the cabin is on a property that was previously a resort, but we’ve visited 3 times and never had noise problems. The lake is full of fish and lots of other wildlife, including an eagles nest. Can’t wait for our next visit!

Adorable and relaxing

This was the cutest and most comfortable little cabin -- the photos online don't do it justice! My mom and I wanted to get away for a quick weekend to relax, hang out, and cross-country ski and we got so lucky in finding this place. It was spotless -- I felt totally safe being there during COVID -- and has everything one needs for a few days rest. We made most of our meals there but it's close enough to nearby towns to go out for coffee, lunch, or dinner. And I could not have asked for an easier or more beautiful place to ski than Kitten Lake -- I spent hours alone on the ice right down a little hill from the cabin. If you're considering this place, don't hesitate! Mike and Laura were super communicators, everything was perfect and easy -- you won't regret your stay here.
