About this property

Bears Lair is a beautiful lake home with 3,500 square feet on the clear and quiet Dunn Lake. Large two story windows provide spectacular views in the open family room, dining room and kitchen. The main floor open concept has an extended dining table and additional seating at the oversized kitchen island. This great room makes for the perfect family gathering spot around the cozy wood burning fireplace. Located off the kitchen is a fabulous screen porch to enjoy the wildlife and surrounding wooded area. A large wrap around deck and picnic table gives the perfect birds-eye view of all the action down on the lake. Also included on the main floor are two bedrooms that sleep six and a full bathroom. The Master loft provides a quiet escape and private bathroom. Also available in the loft is a small office and free wi-fi. The lower level walkout is the perfect place for shooting pool, playing games or enjoying a family movie around the gas fireplace. The lower level bedroom sleeps four and also includes a full bathroom. Laundry facilities are located on this level. Separate from the main Cabin is a western themed bunkhouse located above the garage. This bunkhouse is fully furnished, has air conditioning and sleeps eight.
The large flat lot will be heavily used for grilling, yard games or hanging out on the dock and paver-patio. A sandy beach and a shallow entry make the lake perfect for kids to swim while you sit on the patio or lounge in the hammocks while watching all the fun. Dunn Lake is a full recreational lake, used for fishing, water skiing and wake boarding or whatever water activity you enjoy.
Cabin rental includes a canoe and kayak. Jet Skis and pontoon boats are available for rent nearby. A Public boat launch is located on the lake.

Excellent place to gather with friends and family

A beautiful retreat in a beautiful setting. Some family and friends gathered to ski Birkie events and celebrate various milestones. The cabin was top shelf, and the nicely equipped kitchen was great for hosting group dinners. The views inside and outside are stunning

Perfect place to make memories with my family!

House was just as shown in listing on VRBO. The open floor plan allowed my sisters, nieces and I the opportunity to all be together to play games, eat meals, enjoy the lake, have bonfires and play yard games together. The host was available as needed and responded to my questions in a timely manner. Overall we enjoyed our time and look forward to booking it again sometime!

Amazing Cabin on Beautiful Lake

We brought our entire family on our summer stay...our three adults children, their spouses and our seven grandchildren. We rented a pontoon and jet ski from The Main Store in Webb Lake. The younger children loved the small beach and wading area. Panfish were abundant and we had a yummy meal.

Classmate Reunion

I stayed at the Bear’s Lair with 12 of my high school classmates. It is the perfect place to relax and reconnect. The house is SO well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The slope going down to the lake and campfire chairs is gentle and bricked. We enjoyed watching the fish swim in the crystal clear lake and campfires at night. The screen porch is also a big plus! If the bugs get bad it is the perfect place to escape to. We all said we would definitely book it again for our friends and families. Barb is so easy to communicate with and gave us excellent suggestions for activities and dinner.

Great property and great owners!

We (four adults, two teens, and one 10-year-old) greatly enjoyed our long weekend in this beautiful property. It was very clean and well-stocked, having everything we needed. The paddleboat and kayak were nice additions and we also rented a pontoon to further enjoy time on the lake. We spent a lot of time at the firepit and, when the weather did not cooperate, the screen porch and pool table were great alternatives. Barb was very responsive to our questions before and during our stay. We highly recommend this property!

Great Time at Bears Liar

My family of 16 had a great time at this waterfront house. Plenty of room for all of us and my favorite place was the screened in porch. North woods theme was beautiful! The house was very clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need. We really enjoyed the waterfront patio and wicker chairs. We also had fun with the paddle board, and swimming mat. Barb was easy to communicate with and quick with a response. Thanks for letting us enjoy your home!

Two thumbs up winner!

This was our second stay at Bear’s Lair; everyone in agreement that we’re glad we returned. The dock with it’s lily pad and new, big floaty are a hit with the kids, as well as fishing off the dock. Water is crystal clear, but there is seaweed in the area. Doesn’t stop paddle boarding, canoeing or swimming. The campfire area has plenty of seating and there was firewood right there for our use. Equally great is the well-equipped kitchen, screen porch lots of seating and a cozy ambiance. Barb is fantastic and quick to communicate.

Exceeded expectations

GREAT family vacation home!!!!. Our 3 sons and their wives along with our 8 grand children had so much to do, swimming, boating (kayaking , paddle boat, canoeing) and the daily used lily pad. There was room in yard for whiffle ball games, touch football and ladder golf. The beach area is very shallow,our 2 year old could walk out several feet at only waist level. Inside the home there was room for all to be together or all to have some space to themselves. We hit a home run when we found this spot. Our grand-kids ranged in age 16 yrs to 3 months and there were activities both indoors and out for all. With three tvs available I can say that the only time any one was on was for the baseball all-star game (for about an hour). Too much to do without those. The house is stocked with anything you could think of and was so clean and decorated beautifully. Thanks to the Prins family for a great week.We can hardly wait to come back.

Everything we hoped for

This was our first stay at Bear’s Lair; we enjoyed everything the house, lake and area had to offer for our extended family of kids & grandkids. The kids loved fishing from the dock, playing on the lily pad and the sandy shore, and yard games. The adults could also enjoy the lake, multiple outdoor seating areas, hammock, paddle board and kayak. We do a lot of our own cooking and appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, and outdoor grills. The screen porch was ideal for setting up our family puzzle, reading and playing indoor games. Also handy on rainy days. Quiet neighborhood, quiet lake! We loved it and will be back next year!

Perfect Family Time

We loved staying up north again this year. We all had enough room but not enough that we didn't see each other. Great house and lake to enjoy the great outdoors as a big family.The big table in the kitchen was great for card games. The lily pad was a fun addition. We can't wait to go back again.

Perfect

This was a perfect place to stay with family. Room for everyone. Very comfortable. We loved the Sandy beach for the kiddos and the water being shallow near shore. We were able to easily rent a pontoon boat to enjoy on the perfect size lake. Barb was excellent to work with and answered all our questions. We have been searching for the perfect place for our family from grandparents to babies. And this was it! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful lake house surrounded by trees!

My family had a wonderful week! Our group included adults and young kids and the property was such a great place for everyone. It’s so nice that the lake is so close to the house. My young kids loved playing in the sand and wading out into the water. The screen porch in so lovely—it is surrounded by trees so you feel like you are in a treehouse! We even heard barred owls calling back and forth to each other one night while sitting in the porch! One thing that I think is unique about this property is that it has a wonderful waterfront, a beautiful home, and it is in a forest so it feels rustic. Thank you to Barb for sharing this special place!

About the host

Hosted by Barb Prins

Twin cities family who loves the cabin!

Why they chose this property

Lovely flat wooded lot overlooking the quiet lake. We love how private the lot is, and gathering around the fire pit which is right down by the water is our favorite family time. The flat lot is great for games and the dock with benches is always a morning favorite, perfect for chatting over your coffee♥️

What makes this property unique

The privacy, the wooded view is from every window! There’s space for everyone, the screen porch is an huge favorite, and a lower level gives kids their own space. The bunkhouse over the garage adds another great gathering spot for cards or hanging out, the the flat yard, and large dock seating is the best spot of all to fish or relax or watch all the fun on the lake!
