"Love, Love, Love The Bear Den! We will definitely be back. All of us were extremely satisfied with our way. Way better than a hotel!!! It was great to have all the amenities here. It made our snowmobiling experience that much easier and enjoyable. The owners went above and beyond. It was a last minute reservation and included an additional night with no problems. The Bear Den was super clean, comfortable and furnished beyond what was expected! The King bed was to die for - didn't want to leave it!!! If your craving pizza like we were, go to Liberty Bell in Hurley - Delicious. Thank you so very much! - Heather (Feb 9, 2014)

"We would have to agree The Bear Den is wonderful!!! We had a wonderful time skiing at Indianhead...perfect skiing conditions! We went up to the Porkies and that was a wonderful day as well. We will definitely be back next year. Thanks for everything!" - Brian, Anne, Brianne, Molly & Dude (Mar 23, 2014)

"Absolutely Awesome!!! The bear Den is so cute, comfortable, cozy and charming. Everything is here that you could possibly need to make yourself at home. I have to mention the King bed, as well. Unbelievably comfortable. I didn't want to get out of it. Sure made for a restful sleep which was needed to recover from busy days of hiking and visiting with old and new friends." - Jill & Millie (Jun 18, 2014)

"The Bear Den is wonderful! We enjoyed our stay very much and we appreciated the Wi-Fi- and long distance phone. The rooms are great - loved the beds! The living room, kitchen are was great for family meals and get-togethers. We were for for July 4th and a family reunion. We would definitely recommend this place. Kids favorite activities include catching frogs, climbing the bluff in Bessemer and the parade and fireworks. We also really appreciated the laundry machines and the well-stocked kitchen. The Bear Den was the perfect home-away-from home." Joann & Mike (Jul 7, 2014)

"Such a delightful get-away we've just enjoyed at the Bear Den! We so appreciate all of the generous touches that made our vacation a relaxing break from the daily hub-hub...wonderful bed, the goodies awaiting us on the dining table, the well-provisioned kitchen and everything so tidy and welcoming. The only thing missing from the home was the t0-do list (didn't miss it!!). All that was left for us to do was to explore this beautiful area. the waterfalls were a hit as well as all of the state and county parks...the Porcupine Mountains and of course Liberty Bell Pizza! Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home with us!" - Bill & Chris (2014)

"What a beautiful weekend! Glad you could plan the weather like this! The Bear Den is better than at home. We visited Little Girl's Point, which had been devastated by a recent storm, but I found plenty of rocks and stones. We visited Presque Isle and waterfalls and Lake of the Clouds. The color on the trees was gorgeous and Ron did not freeze his butt off!!! Terrific time." - Ron, Janice & Kat (Sep 28, 2014)

"It seems that every time we come "Up North" we are always at a different house. we love the fact that we have a choice of homes depending on how many people we have with us. The "Bear Den" fit our needs and was very appreciated. We just loved the decor, the cleanliness and the location. We try to come up here at least once a year. We picked this weekend because of "Applefest" in Bayfield, but the weather did not cooperate. We did manage to get to some waterfalls and go to Lake Superior (my favorite lake). My wife just loved the red theme in the kitchen. I can't believe how roomy and spacious a small house can be.  It was great. We love the homes that Tracy has rented to us in the past. Every year, as we look at our vacation pictures, there is usually one or two pictures of the house we rent. We are never disappointed. Thanks." - Friendship, WI (2014)

"Loved the house!!! Stayed for two nights and had a blast on the trails." - (Oct 16, 2014)

"Ditto to everything that's been said before!!! This is an absolutely lovely place - what a gem! Thank you to Tracy and Lee for letting us stay here on a whim - we have to be back for a longer stay next time. So impressed by the attention to detail here - from the cozy coordinating decor to the little things (thank you for the yummy pancakes - what a treat to find those in the cupboard). We were even able to use the ice for our coolers to take our pasties home. We enjoyed Liberty Bell Chalet as others have mentioned (I went for my usual - homemade noodles and meatballs! Though I know the pizza is top notch, too!) And we got in a lot of outdoor time - Sunday Lake and Black River Harbor. What a memorable anniversary weekend! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you." - Sara & Scott (Oct 19, 2014)

"We had a very nice time at The Bear Den. Everything was set up very nice.  Well equipped kitchen... beautiful decor...a great king size bed. Loved it. Ironwood is a great place to visit. There was plenty of snow and the skiing and snowshoeing was great. The trails at Wolverine were awesome. If you want a great meal (breakfast & lunch) go to Mikes Diner on US2. A small dinner with large portions. You won't be disappointed. Of course, The Bell in Hurley is always good too. We come up every year and hope we can get into this same place again next X-Mas." - Pete, Amanda & Family (Dec 27, 2014)

"Thanks for the great accommodations! Everything was amazing and so much better than a hotel! Loved all the little "extras"!!! Snowmobiled almost 600 miles and can't wait to come back again sometime." - Kelly, Cam, Shaun & Don (Jan 3, 2015)

"Thank you so much for letting us stay here so we could come and visit our son. The accommodations were wonderful! We love this house! It's even nicer than ours, ha ha!!! We really appreciate the hospitality and would love to come back sometime!" - Chuck & Jen (Feb 29, 2015)

"Thank you so much for letting us stay at your wonderful home. The Bear Den was a perfect winter get away. After a long day of skiing, nothing warms you up quite like the hot tub. The table was perfect for meals and card playing before bed. What a wonderful place. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks again!" - Meryl, Tyler, Katie, Dane, Kyan & Bill (Jan 10, 2016)

"Wonderful home. Thanks for letting us stay here! Pioneer Lodging does a fabulous job!" - Jeff, Mary, Nik (2016)

"Very pleasant experience. I will recommend you to friends and family!" - Sandy (May 26, 2016)

"This was a great place for both Dan and I. We enjoyed the area. Lots of day trips. It was wonderful. Copper Peak sky lift was the scariest thing be have ever done! It was a "hoot" and we are glad that we did it...as we will never do it again. The special care you have given to the house is awesome. Your generosity is appreciated and we will recommend "The Bear Den" to our friends and family. Much thanks." - The Arkansas Travelers (Jul 31, 2016)

"Thank you again for a great stay. There isn't a thing I would change about the accommodations. It was perfect for the 2 of us and we made the most of the area! It has been a great home away from home! Thanks again!" - Tom & Debbie (Aug 10, 2016)
