Looking for a lake vacation and don’t want to travel 6 hours? The Bears Den on Lake Ripley is a beautiful lake house with steps down the deck to a very clean spring feed lake. You will find a large family room for your comfort and relaxation with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, kitchen, dining room and lake facing deck for up to 10 guests. The Bears Den features a spacious open floor plan with beautiful views of the lake. Use the large deck for outdoor grilling and dining and chat by the firepit at night. Enjoy the lake front yard with your own dock and boat lift. Bring your boat and have it ready to go fishing or skiing.
We thought of everything in the well-stocked kitchen – Dishwasher, microwave oven, coffee maker, toaster, pots and pans, dishes, utensils. Got little kids? We have a baby crib and high chair at the house.
You will need to make your reservations early to rent this great lake home.
Unique Features
The Bears Den rental is lucky to be on one of the cleanest spring fed lakes in southern Wisconsin! Lake Ripley is 423 acres and has a public beach too. Your Lake Ripley shore lunch might include Bass, Northern, Walleye, and Bluegill.
Relax in a professionally decorated vacation home with beautiful views of the lake. Unique location to: Chicago 120 miles; Milwaukee 60 miles; Wisconsin Dells 70 miles.
Things To Do
Enjoy your days on the 423 acre lake swimming, fishing, water skiing and boating. Spend an entire afternoon at Lake Ripley Park (Memorial Day to Labor Day). Enjoy the pavilion, beach, 2 tennis courts, basketball court, playground, volleyball courts, and a disc golf course.
Cambridge is famous for salt-glazed pottery, a historic Main Street, and hiking or biking on the CamRock trail system. The quaint shop owners and local artists are eager to tell you all about Cambridge, Wisconsin. If you can make it here in early August, you’ll be treated to sidewalk sales and activities during Maxwell Street Days (city wide garage sales too). Like community theaters? The Fireside Dinner Theater (Fort Atkinson) and Cambridge-Deerfield Players Theater stage is always filled with local talent and maybe the next big thing!
Madison is 25 miles away so try the Madison Farmers market during the summer, Badger football, or Henry Vilas Zoo. The Wisconsin Dells are 70 Miles and feature water and amusement parks.
Things to remember: Please bring your own towels. Bring charcoal & lighter fluid for grilling out!
