Summary:

Napping Bear Lodge



The Space:

Whether you're visiting to spend time on the lakes, hike the trails, or just enjoy a change of scenery with the family for a while, Napping Bear Lodge is your key to all these things and so much more! Located just six miles from the heart of downtown Eagle River, this three-story, waterfront gem boasts high-end amenities, wide open spaces, and amazing lake views from inside and out. On the main level, the visiting chefs in your group will find everything they need to prepare quick snacks or elaborate dinners in the well-equipped, full kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar. Meet up for meals at the adjacent table or step outside onto the furnished deck for a summertime alfresco dining experience. Back inside, the main living area offers plenty of comfortable seating options, a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, a warming gas fireplace, and a wall-mounted TV. An additional sunroom provides a cozy spot to relax in with a good book and a cup of tea on lazy or rainy afternoons.



The fun really begins on the lower level of this home where you'll find a second living area with a gas fireplace and large TV, a table and chairs for board and card games, a full-size pool table, and a wet bar! From here, step out to the patio and take a walk across the yard and down to the private dock where you can cast a line and fish for musky and panfish, or set off in the provided kayaks.



For sleeping options, this home offers five wonderful bedrooms spread out over all three floors to ensure the utmost privacy for you and your guests.

Great Cabin for a weekend getaway

I highly recommend this home in Eagle River. Location and amenities are great. Close enough to town that you can get there easily, but still far enough away that it is peaceful.

Great place for a family vacation

Napping Bear Lodge is a nice, large comfortable house that worked great for our family reunion vacation. It is situated right on Voyager Lake with a nice pier. We enjoyed having access to the two kayaks and fishing off the dock. We rented a pontoon boat from Boat Sport Marina which is very close by. Good access to Eagle River and boating to the other lakes.

We enjoyed our stay

We loved our stay at Napping Bear Lodge. There was plenty of space for our group of 12; both indoors and out. Customer service staff was very helpful when we had a plumbing issue, sending an individual to fix the issue very promptly.

It's a great location and an excellent house for large families. Home was very clean and spacious. Communication with the property manager was great! My only recommendation to the owners would be to do some maintenance. Some things were minor (like the kitchen faucet not properly working) and others were almost dangerous (like one off the sliding doors coming off the tracks). Also the years could use some better care but hey, you're there to hike & fish, right? Overall a great time but for the price we expected those finishing touches like other VRBO properties we've stayed at.

Great home for a large group!

The home is situated in the perfect spot for boating on the chain of lakes. The home is well designed and worked really well for our group which included 7 adults and 3 young children.
