Wonderful stay.

This stay was absolutely wonderful. The house is beautiful and very clean. We had a family Thanksgiving weekend together with 21 people ages 2-91 and enjoyed every second of it. Owners are great and communicate very well. Area is very peaceful and we found a really nice park about 10-15 minutes away for a hike. We would stay here again.

This property and home suited us so well!

Working with Julie was a dream, she was quick to respond and answered all of my questions thoroughly. The lodge is beautiful, was clean and well equipped. We never even left the lodge/area during our entire stay. The kitchen made it easy to bring in all of our food for the weekend and spend time enjoying each other instead of running around.

Everything we expected

Had a staff weekend at the lodge. Everyone had such a great time. With a large group of 18 we never felt cramped as the place is HUGE! This is our second year staying here. Honestly it checks all of our boxes and will probably be the site for our next staff appreciation weekend. Julie was very responsive and made the stay from start to finish very pleasant. Highly recommend!

Great place, very relaxing

Lots of entertaining areas in this house. The husbands spent most of their time in the basement playing pool, video games, cards and watching football. The wives were upstairs in the great room, kitchen and on the deck. Lots of good communication with the owner. The 5 bedrooms worked out great for the 5 couples. Enough beds to accommodate another 10 people. Overall, a great time had by all. We'll be back!

Coming Back Next Year

From the moment we all arrived (12 adults, 1 3.5 year old & one 18 month old) we just knew we had to come back. Picturesque setting in the middle of the woods, so much room to roam, set up the volleyball net, swim, fish, and have fires at night. Well appointed home with everything you need right at your finger tips. You can tell they put a lot of thought and love into this home! You won't be sorry you stayed. We will be back next year! Thank you to our wonderful hosts!

Great place for a large family

We were searching for a place to get our whole family together, nine adults and nine kids age 10 to 18. We wanted a place where we could come and stay for the weekend without having to leave to be entertained. Golden Bear was the perfect place. It was the perfect place for us. Plenty of room for us to gather and plenty f places to escape for a little alone time. We spent a lot of time swimming in the pond and playing games in the basement. We wished we would have brought more lawn games as there is a great yard for any number of activities. The kitchen was great an had everything we needed for great family. Julie was great to work with. She responded to every question quickly and and provided a lot of details about what was around. We would go back in a second.

Beautiful home to relax in!

Our group of 8 women - life-long friends - enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. Some of the activities we enjoyed: relaxing on the upper deck using the eight cushioned chairs and umbrella table, enjoyed the rocking chairs on lower deck, we used the very clean hot tub, watched a couple of movies in the lower level movie room. It was nice that we each had our own bed - nice sheets and towels. Very well stocked kitchen - we cooked/grilled all our food during our stay. Nice commercial Bun coffee maker - two refrigerators - automatic ice maker - dishes - knives - etc. Thank you for your help with changing the propane tank on the grill! - Jesse walked us through changing it out on the phone, so we could finish our shrimp kabobs! Everything was wonderful, we want to book our get-a-way here next year!
