Stay near Wisconsin Dells

The house and property were perfect for our weekend visit to the Dells. A short drive from all of the attractions but private enough to not feel like we were in a tourist area. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Plenty of space for our family and lots of things for the kids to do. We would definitely stay again. Owner was helpful and quick to respond to any questions.

Being able to accommodate a large group under one roof was great. Lots to do with the game room, tvs everywhere to watch the Packers and a large fire pit for smores and conversation. We spent a ton of time on the spacious front porch, especially with little ones. Location was peaci, but close enough to all the Wis Dells activities!

We had an amazing time - gathered the troops (kids & grandkids) from Minnesota and Illinois and we played Air Hockey, Table Tennis, Solved a Murder (murder mystery game), took family pictures and on and on. What a perfect place to do all of this and most importantly made a family memory (my Christmas Wish). Thank you.

Perfect Getaway

The house is nestled in a wooded area that was far enough from the Dells to not feel busy, but it was close enough when we wanted to go and do things (water park, hiking state parks, mini golfing, etc). The kids loved the basement and all it had to offer, the adults loved the covered front porch to sit and take it the beautiful surroundings. Loved our week and would definitely stay again!

Quiet and serene, but close to everything!

We loved our stay at Bear Cove Escape. It's a great property with tons of room to relax both inside and out. There's a fun trail through the woods that rings the whole property. It's quiet and secluded, but less than a 15 minute drive to just about anywhere in the Dells. Mid-October was a great time to visit - we got to enjoy some fantastic fall colors. The host is very accessible and was eager to ensure our stay was easy and comfortable. I would recommend this property for families, friend groups, or couples who want a relaxing space that's still close to all of the attractions you expect from the Wisconsin Dells area.
