The house and property were perfect for our weekend visit to the Dells. A short drive from all of the attractions but private enough to not feel like we were in a tourist area.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Aukes

Host profile image

We’re a family who believes in hard work, community, and making lasting memories. I own an automotive repair shop, and before that I taught high school band. My wife continues to inspire young musicians as a middle school band director, and our kids are active in sports and music—keeping us on our toes, but also reminding us daily about the importance of balance and joy.

Even with our busy lives, we always make time for family, friends, and giving back. Volunteering and community involvement are central to who we are, and we carry that same spirit into hosting. We love helping people feel welcome, cared for, and set up for success in whatever they’re doing—whether it’s enjoying a family vacation or relaxing after a day of adventure.

To ensure the best possible guest experience, we’ve partnered with My Favorite Home Away From Home Property Management, a professional team that helps us provide seamless stays with excellent service. With their support, you’ll have the peace of mind of local expertise and reliable communication, while still enjoying the personal touches of a family-run getaway.

Why they chose this property

Our family absolutely loves going to the Wisconsin Dells. We love the water parks and arcades and recently we went and played airsoft. That was a blast. There is so much to do and the people are very friendly. Being only 6 minutes from the boat dock at the Wisconsin River and 10 minutes from the Wisconsin Dells, it is the perfect location for all activities that our family enjoys.

What makes this property unique

Bear Cove Escape – A Cozy Woodland Retreat

From the moment you arrive at Bear Cove Escape, you’ll notice the charming touches that inspired its name. Bear pawprints welcome you along the walkway, playful bear accents adorn the shutters, and the warm, rustic décor inside ties it all together. Thoughtfully designed around its woodland theme, every detail—from the color palette to the carefully chosen bear-inspired décor—creates a welcoming, homey atmosphere that invites you to relax and stay awhile.

This getaway isn’t just beautiful, it’s also built for making memories. The game room is a hub of fun, where families and friends can spend hours competing, laughing, and connecting. When it’s time to unwind, the fireplace room offers the perfect place to cozy up with a movie, share stories, or simply relax in the glow of the fire. Whether you’re seeking adventure or quiet comfort, Bear Cove Escape balances both, making it a destination everyone can enjoy.

More than a vacation home, Bear Cove Escape reflects the love and care put into its design. It’s a place where you’ll instantly feel at ease—surrounded by character, comfort, and a touch of playful charm. We hope it becomes as special for you as it is for us.
