Beautiful up North kinda place, renovations make it even better than last year, friendly people and beautiful River frontage, cottages are so clean. Boat rental was a plus too! Highly recommend a stay!
We had the pleasure of staying in Cabin Bear. LOVED IT! What a perfect cozy place to unwind. It was surreal sitting on the covered porch as a thunderstorm rolled through at the end of the day. We were able to prepare our own meals in the fully stocked kitchen. The bed and the pillows kept us comfortably asleep throughout the night. This morning I was able to greet the day with a cup of coffee while taking in the views of autumn overlooking the river from the covered porch. There is no doubt that I'll purposely make a trip back to this gem!
It's the best cabin I've seen in Eagle River yet. Thank you, Heather, for an awesome stay in the Badger Cabin.
What an amazing little gem this turned out to be!!! Trying to find a place last minute we booked here at 1/2 price and was 100x better than our last stay at Super 8 which I don't recommend anyone go to. But this place had 2 beds which Super 8 didn't it also had a backyard for your pets, a boat and canoe rental right on the Chain of Lakes and 2 piers so you could even rent a wet jet or boat. The rooms have all been updated with a Northwoods touch. They did an awesome job and I would recommend that to anyone, it's close to town and you aren't paying double just to sleep!!
