Hunting families trip

We had a great time at our trip we love this house 🏠 also is the best place for hunting all the state lands are awesome only one thing I will recommend for homeowner to add spoons forks plates, pants, a lot of more kitchen stuff are missing and need to be added. Other than that. The house is gorgeous and we’ve been there more than 6 times thank you.

Family Reunion

We come to the Blue Bear Hideout every year for our family reunion. The place is perfect to fit a group and has everything you can think of to have a good time. We spend all our time in the garage - what a blast! Highly recommend “Garage Pong” for those that are not skilled ping pong players and end up hitting the ball off the garage floor most of the time. Jenny is great and very easy to communicate with. We will be back again next year!

Nice little getaway!

The property was as advertised. The first floor primary bedroom was nicely appointed. The living room was good as well. The game area was very nice for the evenings when the mosquitoes came calling. A couple items to note. There are 3 additional bedrooms downstairs. The one at the foot of the stairs was nice. The other two did not have ceiling insulation and the walls did not go to the ceiling; you could basically hear any conversations going on upstairs or downstairs. Basement was a little musty smelling as well. Limited utensils, in fact no butter knives , just plastic and the fry pans definitely have seen better days. Jenny , the host was very responsive. And answered any and all our questions.

Great group location

We had a wonderful stay! Everything was clean, easy to use, and exactly as described. Hosts were quick to respond to any questions and very helpful. We had plenty of space for the dog to play and so many activities to keep everyone busy even on the rainy days. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonder experience!!

Our stay was amazing. The host was extremely accommodating and took care of all our needs. The home fit our group well and provided plenty of space to spread out and make memories. Located less than an hour from traverse city and a short drive from bear lake, beach days were very enjoyable. The property was clean and well kept. Lots of kitchen storage and counter space as well as outdoor grill made big meals a piece of cake. Large TV’s throughout the house were amazing for entertainment and movie nights. Pool table and ping pong in the garage were a big hit and drew people outside, as well as the screen garage door for an indoor/outdoor experience. Overall we would absolutely recommend a visit at the Blue Bear Hideout!!

Guys weekend.

This property was perfect for our group. Main house was perfect for sleeping and some cooking. We spent most of the time in the garage. We did some fishing the first couple of days but the weather took that out of the picture. We had a great time playing cards and pool along with watching football on the big screen tv. This is are second year here and we will be back.

Great weekend away

Had a great time at Bear Lake. The house was very nice but the garage is amazing. We spent most of the weekend hanging out in the garage playing games and watching football. We caught some trout on Bear Lake and had a great time just hanging around the property with games and campfires.

Bear Lake House

This place is wonderful and so much room! The pictures on the listing don’t do it justice. Jenny is very responsive and helpful! The house is big and comfortable with plenty of room for everyone. Well appointed kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. The party garage is PERFECT. We had a blast in it watching football, playing pool, and just hanging out. It’s great having a large fridge and microwave in the party room. The TV is huge with a sound bar so makes watching anything great. The owners also have tons of streaming on the TV so you can find anything to watch. There is tons of comfortable seating in the party room as well. This will be our go to place every year for our family reunion!
