About this property

Lil Bear - Secluded /Hot Tub

  • A secluded lake cabin retreat north of Turtle Lake, WI. Downstairs consists of a living room w/sofa sleeper, kitchen, and bathroom, and the upstairs has 1 bedroom with a queen, a bed in the open loft and 1/2 bath. This cabin is the epitome of rustic modernity with a lot of style. Enjoy the long wooded driveway in, and relax in your natural surroundings. Our guests often see deer, beavers, Eagles, cranes & occasionally black bears. We do not have direct neighbors , the closest people you can see are across the lake or 3 lots down! We provide basic kitchen necessities, sheets, quilts, pillows and towels. Please bring all consumables!



    Drive past grazing cows and farm fields into the woods, onto a private gravel road, and down our long winding wooded driveway to our private lake retreat! We recommend visiting in winter only if you have 4 wheel drive and are comfortable driving in winter! We do plow and shovel, but the gravel roads are best navigated with enough traction. 



    Guests love the seclusion of the cabin and the feeling of being immersed in nature.

Another great stay!

This is the second time my husband and I have stayed here with our two dogs and we will definitely be back again! We love this little cabin- there’s lots to do but this time we mostly stayed inside or in the hot tub where we could stay plenty warm and unplug from our busy lives for a few days.

Great Up North Experience

Cabin is cozy and it had everything we needed. The property is great, super private and secluded. We brought our boat and we slayed the bass and huge blue gills. The lake is smaller but the fishing was great. The wildlife was awesome, a bunch of eagles and other birds of prey.aqebirds oawtreat

Fantastic time

This was a much needed escape for our family. Property was as described and had many amenities and nice touches. Games and books well stocked, lake area was clean, lots of available firewood. The A/C was nice for sleeping during humid nights. Beds were very comfortable! Thanks again.

A family tradition!

This is our second (of hopefully many) years at Lil Bear cabin! It’s like traveling back in time and enjoying the slow-living lifestyle I try to produce in our city life: Fishing, kayaking, walks in the woods, cooking over a campfire, canoeing, bird watching, roasting s’mores, reading by the lake…It’s all there. Thanks to Stephanie for being a wonderful host! -Autumn

Perfectly secluded with everything you need!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin really does have everything- down to filters for the coffee pot. The TV is a smart TV, so all streaming services are also available. Stayed nice and warm with the gas stove. As others have said, no reason to venture out into the “real world.” The trails are exceptionally well maintained. Groceries are about 15 minutes away. The one note I would add is that if you are driving a full sized truck, the driveway is narrow, kinda twisty, and long…ie you NEED to be comfortable backing your full sized truck to (or away from) the cabin because there really isn’t room to turn around. Just a note for people who may not be comfortable with that. Stephanie was AMAZING. Kind and responsive to our needs.

Perfect getaway for me, my husband and our dogs

My husband and I can’t say enough good things about this place! We’re already thinking about trying to book it in the fall. We loved disconnecting from the world and connecting with nature here- there was so much wildlife and it was just so peaceful. The dogs loved running through the woods, hiking, swimming and “helping” us fish- they were exhausted at the end of each day! The cabin is absolutely perfect and is what a cabin should be: simple yet completely comfortable. The design of the cabin, intimate size, comfy beds, cozy furniture, hot tub, outdoor shower, hammock, fire pit and other amenities were everything we could have wanted in a cabin getaway. We caught a lot of fish just from the dock but also enjoyed using the boats to explore the lake and fish in other areas. We are already recommending this place to our friends! We don’t have kids but it seemed like there were a lot of fun things for kids there. But if you’re a couple just looking to spend quality time with each other while unplugging and enjoying solitude then definitely rent this cabin for a long weekend!

Beautiful, secluded, little slice of Wisconsin paradise. Pet friendly. Clean. A nice hot tub if you need a break from swimming in the lake. Water toys available. Not a far drive from some cool trails and waterfalls.

It was exactly what I was looking for - a few days in the woods with my pup running free happiest I have ever seen him! The hot tub was perfect, the location is so private and quiet, and the entire place was so charming and comfortable, I loved every minute of it! All of the little details make it so special.

The secluded cabin was perfect for dogs with stranger anxiety. They enjoyed walking the wooded dirt roads on long leashes. We enjoyed kayaking on a quiet lake and relaxing in the well maintained hot tub and sitting by the bonfire. Taverns, coffee shop and gift/antique shops all nearby.

Great cabin for relaxing

We always a have great stay at Little Bear Lodge. Stephanie, the owner is responsive to all concerns. Everything needed is within a few miles(grocery, cheese, meats, antiques, casino), but feels so secluded. We caught a lot of fish and always enjoy this quiet lake. We have already booked our stay for next year.

Perfect getaway!

Little Bear Lodge is a rare find! We loved our stay here! The cabin is adorable and the location can’t be beat. The inside is clean and cozy and the outside is very private and picture perfect. We loved having easy access to the lake with plenty of toys provided to keep the kids entertained (kayaks, paddle boat, paddle boards), a fire pit for s’mores, a hammock to relax in, a grill, and plenty of places to just sit and enjoy nature. We have nothing but positive things to say about our stay and hope to come back again in the future!

Wonderful little retreat.

We stayed at the lil bear cabin and loved it all. So much wildlife and privacy. Very accurate description of the cabin. All the essentials were provided. We made use of the kayaks and paddle boat. And when the sun started to set we had fun by the campfire and toasted some marshmallows. It was very convenient that the firewood was provided. We will definitely be looking through our schedules to find another time to come back.
