The Northwoods Bear Lakehouse Lakefront/Hot Tub/Golf/Kayaks/ATV/Snowmobile Trails

Welcome to our family Northwoods Lakehouse! This 4BR, 3BA with 250+ ft. of lakeshore, the cabin is the perfect getaway for those seeking a peaceful escape, yet close to outdoor adventures.

As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a warm, open-concept living space with a stunning view of the lake. The living room with 20-ft ceilings is perfect for lounging by the fireplace, while the fully-equipped kitchen offers all the amenities you need to prepare delicious meals.

The Lakehouse comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests with its four spacious bedrooms, each furnished with a comfortable queen bed. A fifth queen-sized luxury futon is located in the loft area. No bunkbeds ensure safety and comfort for all our guests. Three full bathrooms ensure there's no waiting in line to freshen up before your adventures.

The property offers direct access to Elbow Lake, a spring-fed environmental lake where you can fish, launch a kayak/canoe depending on water level and vegetation, or simply relax by the shore. The Upper Turtle Lake (a fully recreational lake) boat launch is a mere 3-minute drive from the Lakehouse. New for 2024, a 7-seat hot tub overlooking the lake is available for your enjoyment.

The location is unbeatable. You're within walking distance of St. Croix Casino, where you can try your luck, enjoy live entertainment, and savor delicious meals. Drop a ball at any of the nearby golf courses. The nearby ATV trails are easily accessible, providing hours of thrilling rides through the scenic Northwoods. During winter, the Lakehouse offers unparalleled snowmobile (Barron County Snowmobile Trail 39 is next to the Lakehouse), skiing (Trolhaugen Ski Area is a short drive away), and ice fishing opportunities. If you want to unwind without leaving the comfort of your Lakehouse, play a virtually endless amount of board games on your Infinity Table located in the loft area. A partially finished and semi-insulated garage has been converted into a complimentary game room for your enjoyment (bring a coat as the garage can get cold during winter). Kids will also have a blast at their very own clubhouse!

The Northwoods are known for their abundant wildlife, and this lakehouse is no exception. Keep your eyes peeled for deer, eagles, and a variety of bird species right from your window. Don't forget your camera – you'll want to capture these moments!

⭐HOUSE RULES⭐

1. NO SMOKING OF ANY KIND is allowed. This is a smoke-free home, including the outside area surrounding the property. No smoking of any substance, including vaping or recreational substances, is permitted. If any type of smoking is detected by our team, Guest's security deposit will be forfeited in its entirety and an additional $500 will be charged to Guest's card on file.

2. The Guest is expected to return the accommodation to the Owner in the condition the Guest received it.

3. People other than those in the Guest party set forth above may not stay overnight in the Rental Property. The Guest will be held financially responsible for any damage done by their guest as if the Guest had done the damage themselves. A high occupancy fee (aka extra guest fee) of $25 per Guest per night will be assessed for groups of over 8 people to account for additional cleaning and maintenance expenses.

4. Keep the property and all furnishings in good order. Do not move large furniture. No shoes on furnishings.

5. Hot tub etiquette: Shower before entering. No food or drinks inside: To avoid spills and maintain water quality, refrain from bringing food or beverages into the hot tub area. Opt for refreshments outside the immediate vicinity. No glass containers. Keep the area clean: Dispose of any trash or debris in designated receptacles and avoid leaving personal belongings scattered around the hot tub area. No diving or jumping: Hot tubs are not designed for diving or jumping. Always enter and exit the tub carefully to prevent accidents or injuries. Children should be supervised. Pregnant women and individuals with health concerns should consult a doctor. Keep the cover closed when not in use: To conserve energy and maintain water temperature, always close the hot tub cover when it's not in use. This also helps to prevent debris from falling into the water. Please keep the jets on low after use. Leaving the jets on high (particularly during winter) may impede proper heating and lead to damage. Do not unplug the tub and avoid tampering with the hot tub's temperature or settings. Do not operate if water level is low as it will damage the pumps. No pets in tub. Please inform Owner and/or Manager ASAP if you notice any issues or if you have any questions.

6. Only use appliances for their intended uses. No refunds will be provided due to inoperable appliances. The Owner and/or Manager will make every reasonable effort to ensure that such appliances will be and remain in good working order. It is expected that major systems in and around the home will break down from time to time such as hot tub, air conditioning, washer, dryer, refrigerator, etc. The Owner and/or Manager must be notified immediately if you discover any item that needs attention and Owner and/or Manager will attempt to repair the problem as soon as possible upon notice by the Guest. Owner and/or Manager assumes no liability to Guest if such should occur as all products have a useful life and break down occasionally. No refunds will be given due to power blackouts, water shortage, flooding, snow, construction at adjacent properties, or mandatory evacuations of the area by County officials due to storms or other potentially dangerous situations arising from acts of God or nature. Guests are encouraged to obtain Travel Insurance.
