The Neighborhood

Bear Den is tucked away in a peaceful, wooded area of Northern Michigan, offering the kind of privacy and quiet that true nature lovers appreciate. You’ll enjoy a very private driveway and a serene forest setting—perfect for unplugging and unwinding.



Just 3 miles down the road, you’ll find Hideaway Bar, a local favorite where you can park your vehicle and enjoy great pizza and a laid-back atmosphere. Karaoke on Fridays and Saturdays makes it a fun evening stop after a day on the trails.



For groceries and supplies, the nearest full grocery store is in Mancelona, about 12–15 minutes away—an easy drive for stocking up before settling into your stay.



✨ Good to Know: This is a true up-north forest setting, so bug and critter sightings are a normal part of the experience, especially in warmer months. For most guests, that’s all part of the charm of staying deep in nature!

Nice, clean place!

Good communication for check in and check out. Nice clean house with anything you may need. They had gotten a lot of snow, so not a lot of area to park.
