Bears' Den at Park Lake - a charming, inviting space for rest and renewal.

Escape to our charming lake cottage — a clean, inviting space newly designed for rest and renewal. Just steps from a small sandy beach and laughter at the park’s swings, it’s the perfect spot to slow down, breathe deeply, and soak in the beauty around you. Whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee in our cozy den, curling up inside after a day by the water or skiing the slopes, this is your place to relax, recharge, and make memories.

The layout is designed for both comfort and connection, with cozy bedrooms for a great night’s sleep and open spaces perfect for sharing meals, laughter, games or a cinematic evening, utilizing our projector.

You’ll find two charming bedrooms: one with a queen bed and desk, and another roomy and cozy with a queen bed, a trundle with two twins, TV, PS3 play station and attached bath. A queen air mattress and living room couch offer extra sleeping options.

The kitchen is well-stocked for your culinary adventures — complete with cooking essentials, a variety of spices, and all the tools you’ll need. Start your mornings with a steaming cup from our coffee station, offering drip coffee, an espresso machine or single serve coffee maker, and an assortment of teas.
