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!

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!

Why they chose this property

This is my husband's dream to have a cabin located in the northwoods. He is a big fisherman, boater, hunter and snowmobiler and this location offers it all. As for me, I love being in the woods and being part of nature's solitude. We both enjoy all outdoor sports and this property is perfect. We hope you think so too.

What makes this property unique

If you want a true Northwoods vacation experience, this is the prime resort to stay at. It is located right on Kitten Lake, and has many activities for people of all ages.

The town of Boulder Junction is a few miles away which offers quaint shops, amazing art galleries, and wonderful restaurants with a small town atmosphere that are unique to the area.

The town of Boulder Junction was featured as "3 Walkable Small Towns with Big Charm" in TravelWisconsin.com.
