About this property

The Lazy Bear Lake House on beautiful Bear Lake, covered deck, great view

Make memories with family and friends on Bear Lake, Manawa WI. Newly updated main floor made for spending time together in this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with walk out basement.

You’ll spend most of the time on the covered deck grilling out, staring at the beautiful lake view and enjoying each others company in the perfect summer breeze (or ceiling fan if you need it.)

Five kayaks available for complimentary use. Otherwise bring your kayak, stand up board, snowmobile or boat! This house has access to the lake on this shallow canal. Head on over to Bear Lake Campground for Friday night fish fry’s, live music and a tiki bar! After a fun day adventuring, relax and enjoy the new nine person hot tub on the walk out patio.

On the main floor is a large primary bedroom for you to rest in after a fun day at the lake. A second bedroom downstairs has a queen bed too. The kids will enjoy the sprawling yard ready for yard games and bonfires. They have their own bunk room with full size bunk beds and a twin trundle.

Littles are welcome too with a full-size collapsible crib and high chair included.

Absolutely loved our stay at Bear Lake House! The morning view from the deck with coffee was so relaxing. The kitchen had every utensil, dish, etc we needed. The rooms were clean and we all had our own space. Perfect house for our family getaway! Hope to be back there in the near future!

Home is beautifully decorated, beds were very comfortable with lovely linens, and living spaces were filled with great seating and large tabletops for meals and crafts. Hot tub was a delight, very large and with great views of the lake - we watched the ice fisherman all day go on and off the lake. Towels were provided and with full laundry we could dry them after our time in the hot tub. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and more and the host even left a few treats in the fridge. Overall wonderful property and hosts! Will definitely be back!

This VRBO was just what we needed. We loved that you provided the leftovers from previous renters including ketchup, butter, syrup, drinks, snacks and bathroom supplies. The yard was ample and outdoor space was perfect. This was a great rental. Thank you!

Cousin’s Weekend

This Lake house was perfect for our cousin’s weekend. So cozy, and we all had the space to spread out. The view looking out is beautiful with a morning cup of coffee. It has a full kitchen and was able to make a full meal, and close to a country bar where we did a fish fry on Friday, yummy! We can’t wait to book next year!

Our stay in this Wisconsin cabin was truly wonderful. The home is beautiful, warm, and incredibly cozy, thoughtfully stocked with absolutely everything needed for a comfortable getaway — honestly, even more than expected. There is literally everything here!We especially loved the hot tub on the first-floor porch — it’s simply exceptional. Sitting in the hot, relaxing bubbles, taking in the open views around us while snow gently falls from the sky, was pure bliss and the perfect way to slow down and appreciate the beauty of nature.The living room is a delight — a cozy lounge with a fireplace on the first floor that brings a lovely sense of warmth and ambiance. We were so happy to spend our Thanksgiving weekend here — grilling, playing games, and enjoying quality time together.The hosts were always on standby, answered every question within minutes, and made our stay feel seamless and cared for.Highly recommend!
