We had a great week at The Bears Den. If you are looking for lots of excitement, this might not be the place for you, but if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing week, you can't beat it. Lots of wildlife, with almost daily shows by the loons (including baby), ducks, and heron. We didn't do much swimming because we didn't get any hot weather, but plenty of kayaking. The front deck is a very relaxing spot to soak in the beauty of the lake, and plenty of room inside for various activities, including our nightly game of cards. We wandered off the reservation a few times, with trips to Tubby's in Wayne for lobster rolls and ice cream, and a lunch in Readfield at the Full Court Deli, which was delicious. The Tubby's lobster rolls are expensive, but big! Bring a book, board games, movies (very limited TV reception, which was a blessing), and plan on unwinding and relaxing.
